I'm somewhat confused, in regard to Edge Boxes.
Do we have the Brainchip " edge box " and the VVDN " edge box " i.e 2 separate functional devices, or are they one and the same device, but with distinctive branding, i.e. Brainchip " akida " Edge Box and VVDN " akida " Edge Box.
Please resolve this dilemma for me. Life at times, "on the edge" is just so hard to understand,
An early response, will improve the start to this day, immeasurably. TIA

Good Evening.....
Well our Edge-Box is due to be released to the public in the early part of this quarter, so I'm thinking late this month, very early into August.
About 4 weeks ago I decided to reach out to VVDN as, as others have pointed out, all you see on the VVDN homepage is Nvidia, Nvidia, Nvidia
no mention or promoting of the soon to be released Akida Edge AI Box.
My email was acknowledged but my questions posed remain unanswered, probably not unexpected I guess.
These really quiet periods do test ones resolve, trying to keep the negative thoughts at bay does get harder as the years tick by, so many
articles are being published now about neural nets and mimicking the human brain, latency, low power consumption, real time processing
on device, no cloud connectivity. security and privacy etc....I read these articles and think to myself, this is what Peter told me/us back in
2018/19...it's so yesterday, but here we are, still waiting, it just goes to prove that, we Brainchip, were or are still well ahead of the curve.
I'm still 100% convinced we will succeed, but...........................when.

"Found the above web page only by googling - couldn’t see any link to it at all on their home page, not to mention any promo.Hi hotty4040,
they are one and the same device, and it looks as if the branding is identical, no matter whether the Akida Edge AI Boxes are purchased via the BrainChip webshop (for smaller volume orders, up to 10 or so - currently marked as “sold out”) or directly from VVDN (the Edge AI Boxes’ primary sales agent for higher volume orders, according to Sean Hehir at the AGM):
Akida™ Edge AI Box: Advanced AI at the Edge with AKD1000
The Akida™ Edge AI Box by VVDN & BrainChip uses AKD1000 chips & NXP's i.MX 8M Plus SoC for secure, on-edge AI processing in vision, voice, and sensor applications.

However, there is no Buy Now button to date, just one saying Enquire Now.
A bit odd indeed…
They are just liking the release. Possible that a partner of theirs is going to provide solutions to the final product.

I cannot confirm whether vvdn and brainchip sold some edge boxes from initial batches but I can confirm the new edge boxes will only be available by end of 2024.
T&J has multiple accounts in every social media platform… I bet this guys have even not order any product. But if they did, how can you order something without knowing what brainchip is communicating to their customers ?

Roadmap To Neuromorphic Computing (Collaboration Of 27 Universities/Companies)
JULY 9TH, 2024 - BY: TECHNICAL PAPER LINK
A technical paper titled “Roadmap to Neuromorphic Computing with Emerging Technologies” was published by researchers at University College London, Politecnico di Milano, Purdue University, ETH Zurich and numerous other institutions.
Summary:
“The roadmap is organized into several thematic sections, outlining current computing challenges, discussing the neuromorphic computing approach, analyzing mature and currently utilized technologies, providing an overview of emerging technologies, addressing material challenges, exploring novel computing concepts, and finally examining the maturity level of emerging technologies while determining the next essential steps for their advancement.”

The closest was Technion who we have a past association with?
To me important is who make the answer and what is the answer. So yes edge box not till end 2024.
If you search Tachyum on TSE, the name popped up and discussed back in like 2022 but was apparently shelved at the time with something TD replied to that someone on HC posted as per FFs post back then and I think Dio pointed out patent / tech differences.And here additional regarding tachyum

Yes but at least they communicate it. (Define lack of communication) There are plenty of so called “companies” which don’t even respond or make updates. I mean what else they should do? In a complex process with complex technology shi(f)t happen IMO
Unlike Mercedes announcement and renasas taping out announcement, this time it was started by brainchip about brainchip vvdn edge box. Sean had used that reference many times.
It can't be that complex. Pre-order was completed months ago.
