Munich-based astropreneur and founder of Salutes Space Mohamed Sobhy Fouda has apparently been busy experimenting with both his Akida Raspberry Pi and Akida PCIe Board - stay tuned:

Looks as if those demos are going to be a Christmas present, then…

(Here in Germany, we get to open our presents on Christmas Eve.)

Wouldn’t it have made more sense for an astropreneur to pick Ascension Day, though?

Just reposting that thumbnail image of yours in full size, as it reveals the name of a new demo on the right monitor as well as on the info leaflet next to it:

It says: “LLMs on the Edge with RAG” resp. “LLM with RAG on Akida”

I googled RAG, which means “Retrieval-Augmented Generation”.

Retrieval-augmented generation - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

“Retrieval augmented generation (RAG) is a type of generative artificial intelligence that has information retrieval capabilities. It modifies interactions with a large language model (LLM) so that the model responds to user queries with reference to a specified set of documents, using this information in preference to information drawn from its own vast, static training data. This allows LLMs to use domain-specific and/or updated information.[1] Use cases include providing chatbot access to internal company data, or giving factual information only from an authoritative source.[2]”

Video uploaded earlier today, showing that new LLM-RAG demo presented by Kurt Manninen at the September 2024 Edge AI and Vision Alliance Forum:

Be more careful with the daily movements here. Market makers determine the price. 1m shares are 'nothing' (€143k) compared to the parent market.

"Enger Markt" - tight market (?), so everything is a bit distorted.

And you buy shares of one stock on a stock market not stocks. It would be like - I by Stöcke. In the case of the ASX it's more like a bazaar and not a supermarket.)

Morning Frangipani,

Nice work thankyou.

Noticed in the image there is a pair of what looks to be headphones in the bottom left of the image on the table.

????.

May be worth a savey slouther pin pointing the make .

Regards,
Esq.

Oh No who was it that made a comment

 

[Frangipani]

Jörg Conradt’s closing remarks were:
“So I believe there will be significantly more smart devices with very new technology around us very soon.”

So the two of them worked together on “the AWS project”?! Interesting… Presumably AWS as in Amazon Web Services?!

For all we know, Chris Jones could have alluded to an Aussie-style Weet-Bix Stacking challenge that ex-Perth resident Anup Vanarse had introduced to the US-based BrainChip staff after moving to California…

(Alternatively AWS could stand for Automatic Warning System (train safety system), Autonomous Weapon System and lots of other things…)

Assuming we are indeed talking about Amazon Web Services here:
Could this LinkedIn comment possibly be a reference to a small LLM having been or still being developed by our company, in order to be made available through AWS, eg via Amazon Bedrock? Currently, however, they refer to (large and expensive to train) foundation models only:

Speaking of AWS and “projects”:
Less than two weeks ago, AWS introduced “in beta a new generative AI-powered personal assistant for sellers, codenamed Project Amelia.”

Amazon launches a powerful new generative AI-based selling assistant codenamed Project Amelia

Launching today, this personal AI assistant was built using Amazon Bedrock and offers tailored business insights to boost productivity and drive seller growth.

Whenever AWS comes up, I can’t help but think of a potential “connection” to them by way of Ron Diamant (formerly at Annapurna Labs, which was acquired by AWS in 2015), who I have reason to believe is the son of Mauro Diamant, BrainChip’s sales representative in Israel.

I think AWS was involved in the ANT61 project along with Brainchip.

Further to @Frangipani post above.

Could this be the RAG project for AWS

An interesting presentation. Explains why Francois dismissed the Akida trolls so concisely. He is adament simple machine learning won’t cut it when it comes to level 4 Adas. After listening you can understand why. What’s more important is his request to the industry to help chiplets work together more efficiently and smarter. Hoping that’s where Akida is positioned!

Question:

Are these good examples of how to use BrainChip? All these devices are in your home .... connected to a power supply and most likely connected to Wifi ... am i missing something ?

Sure low power consumption is great but is it essential in this setting? Benefits of being on the edge in this context ??

The benefits of our technology is that you can run the system both ways…. Independent of the internet and cloud…or connected ..this allows for saving or minimizing energy and other consumption values!

SoftBank to invest $500mn in OpenAI Japanese group led by Masayoshi Son set to join $6.5bn funding round that would value start-up at $150bn Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, has discussed taking equity in the AI start-up for the first time as part of plans to rejig its corporate structure

Masayoshi Son’s SoftBank will invest $500mn into OpenAI as part of a fundraising round that is expected to close this week and value the artificial intelligence start-up at $150bn. SoftBank will invest via its second Vision Fund, a large vehicle for backing start-ups, which is now mainly made up of Son’s personal wealth, according to two people with knowledge of the deal. SoftBank will join existing investors, including venture fund Thrive Capital and Microsoft in a $6.5bn funding round, which is expected to close in the coming days, according to people familiar with the discussions.

The Japanese group was one of the most prolific start-up investors in the years leading up to 2022, during which time the valuation of young technology companies spiralled higher, often to unsustainable levels. SoftBank’s roughly $14bn investment into WeWork and Son’s close relationship with its founder Adam Neumann became emblematic of the excesses of that period after the co-working company collapsed from a peak valuation of $47bn in 2019.

After a period of retrenchment, SoftBank has ratcheted up its investments into AI, with Son declaring it was time “to go on the counteroffensive” to take advantage of the new technology. SoftBank is the majority owner of UK chip designer Arm, and Son has spoken about his ambition to use it as the centrepiece in a network of companies advancing AI.

OpenAI is finalising the details of one of the biggest-ever private funding rounds against a chaotic backdrop. The company’s chief technology officer Mira Murati unexpectedly left the San Francisco-based company last week, along with Bob McGrew, chief research officer, and Barret Zoph, vice-president of research. They are the latest in a series of senior departures this year that have stripped OpenAI of the majority of its founding team and its most prominent safety researchers.

The company is also exploring a corporate restructure that would do away with its current novel arrangement, in which investors take a stake in a for-profit subsidiary of the company, governed by a not-for-profit board, according to people with knowledge of the discussions. OpenAI’s chief executive Sam Altman has discussed taking a direct equity stake in the company for the first time as part of those plans, they added. But many investors appear undeterred and still willing to commit to a company that has continued to push the frontier of AI technology. They are betting that OpenAI can see off competition from Big Tech rivals including Google and Meta, as well as start-ups such as Anthropic and Mistral. SoftBank’s participation in the round was first reported by The Information. SoftBank and OpenAI declined to comment.
