We don’t know. We were waiting on you to find out. Oh well.
Well i dont know why this is funny but my last recollection it was for sure i just forgot the “when… “ i think it is 2024 or 25 when the EQXX comes out ..
but after some research i found this…

and also this

See this in the bottom?…
Mercedes recently made a number of headline announcements regarding its accelerated transition to electrification. From 2022, it will offer a fully electric model in every segment, and from 2025 every model sold will be offered with a pure-electric model. Also in 2025, Mercedes will launch three bespoke new EV architectures for use across its entire product portfolio: MB.EA for mid-sized and large passenger cars, AMG.EA for performance models and Van.EA for commercial vehicles.

Neuromorphic Computing for Future AI Systems
Cory Merkel, Ph.D.
Director, Brain Lab
Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Engineering, RIT

Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) has become the linchpin in a growing number of products, services, and research programs which are aimed at automating and enhancing the human decision-making process. There is no doubt that AI will play a central role in the future of healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, and defense, among others. However, the rapidly growing size, weight, and power (SWaP) cost of AI algorithms limits their deployment on devices with practical computing and energy constraints (satellites, wearables, wireless sensors). In this talk, I will discuss our lab’s efforts to bridge this gap by closely emulating the structure and function of biological brains, with the ultimate goal of enabling AI in the most SWaP-constrained environments. This research takes a holistic approach, examining the entire AI stack, from devices and circuits to algorithms and applications.

At the lowest level, I will present our research on memristor-based circuits for implementing weighted communication pathways in artificial neural networks (ANNs) and spiking neural networks (SNNs). Memristors reduce the power and latency associated with running ANNs/SNNs on traditional computer architectures by directly emulating both the memory and computation of biological synapses. In addition, memristor plasticity enables on-chip learning and allows ANNs/SNNs to function in the presence of hardware defects and process variations. Moving up the design hierarchy, the talk will highlight ideas for biologically-inspired energy management in neuromorphic systems and efficient ANN/SNN topologies. Finally, the talk will provide an overview of our research related to the trustworthiness and potential security vulnerabilities of AI hardware with ties to human perception and psychology.

In December 2019, Habana Labs, the Israel-based company that is best known for developing the family of Gaudi AI accelerators for data center training and inference, was acquired by Intel for approximately US$ 2 billion, two months after Steve Thorne - who had previously been with Intel for almost a quarter century in various roles - had become Head of Sales at Habana Labs. The company remains headquartered in Tel Aviv and now operates as an independent Intel company.

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


Akida Ballista >>>>> Come on BRAINCHIP, just get moving will you - please - soon <<<<<
>>>>> Slowly - Slowly - Catcha the Monkey <<<<<

hotty...

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):

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.

There does not appear to be a provision on the VVDN website for AKIDA Edge Box ordering.. Appears you can only order through the BRN shop. If the order is large according to Sean it gets referred to VVDN. According to the BRN inc shop they are sold out.
Their appears to be no advertising. I assume very few have been sold. Not sure what is going on.

That's a bit odd..
Has anyone asked Tony, why it's not listed on VVDN's website?

The only thing that really comes to mind, is that this is more of a test run, to gauge demand.
We know, there are only a limited number of AKD1000 chips and there are 2 per Edge Box.

Someone shared, that Tony said in an email, that it was hoped that VVDN would place an order for chips, if we ran out.

Showing "sold out" on our website, suggests all current chips are accounted for (which is possibly in the low thousands).
Or else there is some kind of delay or problem, which they want to address first, before allowing further orders to be placed.

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.
However, there is no Buy Now button to date, just one saying Enquire Now.

A bit odd indeed…

Is that the case with all their products though?

I could only find the Nvidia edge box page, by Googling too..
(didn't try "real" hard on main website..)


And just in general, what's the story with BRN posting the Tachyum news folks??

Doesn't that deserve a bit of a "please explain"?..

They are just liking the release. Possible that a partner of theirs is going to provide solutions to the final product.

It reads that they are talking about the software needed for the Data centre they are building.

But they liked past brain posts on Akida 2.0.
