Lars Niedermeier’s and Jeff Krichmar’s April 2024 publication on CARLsim++ (which does not mention Akida) ends with the following conclusion and the acknowledgement that their work was supported by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research - the funding has been going on at least since 2022 -

and a UCI Beall Applied Innovation Proof of Product Award (https://innovation.uci.edu/pop/)

and they also thank the regional NSF I-Corps (= Innovation Corps) for valuable insights.

Their use of an E-Puck robot (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-puck_mobile_robot) for their work reminded me of our CTO’s address at the AGM in May, during which he envisioned the following object (from 22:44 min):

“Imagine a compact device similar in size to a hockey puck that combines speech recognition, LLMs and an intelligent agent capable of controlling your home’s lighting, assisting with home repairs and much more. All without needing constant connectivity or having to worry about privacy and security concerns, a major barrier to adaptation, particularly in industrial settings.”

Possibly something in the works here?

The version the two authors were envisioning in their April 2024 paper is, however, conceptualised as being available as a cloud service:

“We plan a hybrid approach to large language models available as cloud service for processing of voice and text to speech.”


The authors gave a tutorial on CARLsim++ at NICE 2024, where our CTO Tony Lewis was also presenting. Maybe they had a fruitful discussion at that conference in La Jolla, which resulted in UC Irvine’s Cognitive Anteater Robotics Laboratory (CARL) team experimenting with AKD1000, as evidenced in the video uploaded a couple of hours ago that I shared in my previous post?

About six months ago, I posted a video which showed that researchers at UC Irvine’s Cognitive Anteater Robotics Laboratory (CARL), led by Jeff Krichmar, had been experimenting with AKD1000 mounted on an E-Puck2 robot.

The April 2024 paper I linked to at the time (“An Integrated Toolbox for Creating Neuromorphic Edge Applications”), co-authored by Lars Niedermeier (Niedermeier Consulting, Zurich) and Jeff Krichmar (UC Irvine), did not yet contain a reference to Akida, but has recently been updated to a newer version (Accepted Manuscript online 22 January 2025). It now has heaps of references to AKD1000 and describes how it was used for visual object detection and classification.

Nikil Dutt, one of Jeff Krichmar’s colleagues at UC Irvine and also member of the CARL team, contributed to this Accepted Manuscript version as an additional co-author.

What caught my eye was that the researchers, who had used an AKD1000 PCIe Board (with an engineering sample chip) as part of their hardware stack, had already gotten their hands on an Akida M.2 form factor as well, even though BrainChip’s latest offering wasn’t officially revealed until January 8th at CES 2025:

“For productive deployments, the Raspberry Pi 5 19 Compute Module and Akida.M2 form factor were used.” (page 9)


Maybe thanks to Kristofor Carlson?

Kristofor Carlson was a postdoc at Jeff Krichmar‘s Cognitive Robotics Lab a decade ago and co-authored a number of research papers with both Jeff Krichmar and Nikil Dutt over the years, the last one published in 2019:

The ASX is f%<^ing useless , as has been displayed to all when their manigement was grilled not long ago before a government enquiry.

Accenture PLC & Tata Controle Systems... both partners of BrainChips , has the contract to re do the ASX platform , as we all have witnessed, thay are useless at keeping up with the times or simply complicit, leave that up to all to get a bearing on.

Back to the question at hand...this figure is the gross shorts for the day, The pheasant s may have sold then bought back...etc .. etc.

Gross for the day, not the NET ( outstanding position , Open...bent over position , as it were ). Isn’t stated.

The more confusion thay can insert into the system , the smoother it all runs apparently.


Hope this helps .

Hi Boab,

'sfunny - that first bit about exciting times was my reaction when I stumbled across BRN 7 years ago.

From Walter Goodwin, I traced a patent application to a company called Neu Edge, presumably Fractile's predecessor. Then I found this patent appliction in Neu Edge's name:

GB2625821A Analog neural network 20221229

An analogue neural network comprises layers connected to form an electrical circuit having an input and an output. The input receives an electrical signal corresponding to an input example, and the output corresponds to an output of the neural network. Each layer comprises at least one programmable electronic element 1, e.g. a memristor, representing a weight of the neuron. At least one non-linear element 4, e.g. a diode, implements a non-linear transfer function. At least one amplifier block 2 amplifies an output signal to prevent signal diminishment. An error element 3, e.g. a resistor or capacitor, allows measurement of the effect the whole electrical circuit has on the element. Each layer also comprises one measurement element for measuring an electrical signal across the error element, and a second measurement element for measuring a weight input of the programmable electronic element. The neural network may be trained by clamping an input signal to a signal corresponding to an input example, clamping an output to an electrical value representing a ground truth label of the input example, and once an equilibrium state is reached, using the values from the measurement elements to update the weight.

I'm going to suggestl Gelsinger have a saver on BRCHF.

I remember researching this guy nearly 8 years ago:


https://patents.google.com/patent/GB2556314A/en

Financial data encoder for spiking neural networks​

A computer implemented method for structuring and converting financial data into spike streams for a spiking neural network (SNN) 7 comprises structuring a continuous financial data stream 4 so that it scales over a data provider, securities, their components and derived meta data; generating multidimensional spike streams utilizing spiking neurons according to the structure of the financial data feed; configuring artificial neurons so they support the specific properties of the financial data; and synchronizing real time and historical financial data streams with the internal time of the SNN by supporting custom time lines such as real time, slow motion, and time lapse. The method is executed on a hybrid many core computing architecture such as von-Neumann combined with a GP-GPU or field programming gate array, or directly by a custom build microchip. The method may identify irregularities in a financial market data feed, and in response may send a control signal 8 to a cash vault 13 of an ATM to lock the vault.

My thoughts on todays SP

 

[Tothemoon24]

At CES 2025, Vivek Bhan, Senior Vice President and General Manager of High-Performance Computing at Renesas, appeared onstage with Stephen Frey from Honda during a press conference to announce that we have entered into a joint development agreement with Honda to create a high-performance system on chip (SoC) tailored for software-defined vehicles (#SDVs).

By 2030, AI performance requirements for SDVs will be 500x higher than today, demanding enormous data processing capabilities with low power consumption. That’s why we’re excited to collaborate with Honda to integrate our recently announced automotive R-Car 5th generation SoC and an AI accelerator customized for Honda’s AI software with chiplet technology. Together, we aim to provide the world’s top-class 2000 TOPS level AI processing performance with 20 TOPS/W power efficiency—enabling the future of mobility! Our solution will power Honda’s upcoming EV models in the “Honda 0 Series,” launching in the late 2020s.

The really interesting part of your find is confirmation that the M.2 card has been with developers for some time.
We knew from the QV Cyber Security news the other day that they must have had access to the M.2 some time ago.
It's quite possible that we might see further end product news as a result of developers' work in the near future.
Tata for example have committed to drive AKIDA into health and industrial end products.
There will likely be others working with the M.2 which we have not heard about.

Whats disturbing to me about this podcast is like Steve said: Our customers simply don't understand how to use our products or don't have the required skills it takes to use our products. I know that indian guy will help our customers understand it but still. Hopefully as time goes by, more customers will understand how to use AI on the edge inside their products
