BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Tothemoon24]

This week, the future of computing is being built from the ground up. We're seeing brain-inspired edge chips hitting the market, memory that computes, AR merging with 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐬, and a 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 to physically link 𝐀𝐈 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐦 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐬.

𝟏. 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐀𝐤𝐢𝐝𝐚 – 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐍𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐜 𝐀𝐈 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐞
BrainChip
A commercial, event-based neuromorphic processor (NPU) that processes data from sensors (like vision and audio) in a brain-like, asynchronous way. It operates on minimal power, ideal for on-device, real-time learning.
Unlocks ultra-low-power, intelligent edge devices that can learn from their environment and react instantly, without needing to send data to the cloud for processing.

𝟐. 𝐔𝐏𝐌𝐄𝐌 𝐏𝐈𝐌 – 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠-𝐢𝐧-𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐲
UPMEM
A Processing-in-Memory (PIM) solution that integrates AI compute directly into DRAM chips. This architecture bypasses the "memory wall" by performing calculations where data is stored.
Drastically reduces data movement and power consumption for large-scale AI workloads like LLM inference and genomic analysis, making them faster and more efficient.

𝟑. 𝐀𝐑-𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐌𝐑𝐬 – 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐑𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐬
Industry-wide (e.g., Siemens, KION Group)
New logistics platforms are merging autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) with AR headsets. This allows warehouse staff to see real-time robot paths, task status, and inventory data overlaid on their physical view.
Transforms human-robot collaboration, boosting warehouse efficiency and accuracy by giving human workers "supervision" over their autonomous colleagues.

𝟒. 𝐍𝐕𝐈𝐃𝐈𝐀 𝐍𝐕𝐐𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤 – 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐏𝐔𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐦 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐫s
NVIDIA
An open system architecture just announced at GTC 2025, designed to create a high-speed, low-latency link connecting NVIDIA GPUs with Quantum Processing Units (QPUs).
Provides the critical "plumbing" for hybrid quantum-classical supercomputing, enabling AI models to offload complex optimization or simulation tasks to a QPU.

[Tony Coles]

The 2 million was predicted by the megachips license according to that article

“He led BrainChip technical team in securing a multi-year license agreement for its Intellectual Property (IP) of Akida AI accelerator with MegaChips, a japanese based global fabless semiconductor company. The multi-year licensing valued in millions and a $2 million forecast expected in royalties”

Nikunj Kotecha: "ML and AI are little–explored technologies with great potential, which we reveal every day"

By 2026, artificial intelligence is forecasted to generate up to 90% of all internet content! These impressive statistics spark conversations about the quality and diversity of the generated content. Among the leading experts shaping this transformation is Nikunj Kotecha, a seasoned Machine...

That’s a relief, Megachips… thought it was for new licenses. Cheers for that article 7fur7.

 

[Yoghesh]

Yes, Nikunj Kotecha is apparently back (after he had left BrainChip almost two years ago), which I personally consider very positive news.

When I shared a post by Lloyd Watts earlier this week that included a recent photo taken at BrainChip’s Laguna Hills office, I had actually wondered whether the gentleman standing next to Tony Lewis was indeed Nikunj Kotecha (what a pleasant surprise!) or just someone strongly resembling him - he is also wearing different glasses now compared to earlier photos.

So I checked out his LinkedIn profile that day, which didn’t give any indication, though, that he had returned to work for us or collaborated with our company in his capacity as Senior Machine Learning Engineer at Coastaloupe.

As of today, he still hasn’t updated his profile, even now that BrainChip posted the video featuring him as a Senior Solutions Architect (which was also his previous job title) talking about TENNS 1B (he refers to it as TENNS LLM in the video), the compact state-space model running directly on the Akida FPGA platform that BrainChip is going to showcase at embedded world North America 2025 next week:

It remains to be seen whether this is just a temporary contract or (hopefully) the return to a permanent position.

Yes when I saw that picture i saw his beside Tony then thought may be old picture. I believe he is back or else why would he say SSA in the post and why would Brn post it. He was indeed crucial team member. Hope he is back.

Brainchip and Prophesee have partnered in circumstances where despite Prophesee being partnered with Sony, Qualcomm, Intel and SynSense they stated that until they found Brainchip AKIDA they worried they may be building a house of straw.

It would be unreasonable to discount that Sony does not see the technology benefits offered by Brainchip’s technologies and has had access to AKIDA.

Hi SS,

I would love to see Sony adopt Akida, but their patent for the pixel stack dates from January 2021.

US2024089577A1 IMAGING DEVICE, IMAGING SYSTEM, IMAGING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM 20210129

[0136] Described in Paragraph C herein will be an outline of a recognition process using a DNN (Deep Neural Network) applicable to the present disclosure. It is assumed in the present disclosure that a recognition process for image data (hereinafter simply referred to as an “image recognition process”) is performed using a CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) and an RNN (Recurrent Neural Network) included in the DNN.

Certainly this does not exclude the possibility that Sony has subsequently adopted Akida, but, until we see something more probative, I remain skeptical.

I am not fluent in English but….. could it be that there are several grammatical errors on that flyer

„mims nimos“, „ayschonnotus“ ?? “mimics … asynchronous“.??

„instany / localy locally / rel-tiime“ … „instantly / locally / real time“.??

„devices that smart“ … „devices that are smart“.

„do’t“ … „don’t“??

 

[Food4 thought]

Hold and building slowly

I already have to many shares over the million mark

Sloppy work

 

[Guzzi62]

@Frangipani

Get lost dude, they are unimportant to me since they left, no matter what you say.

All employees in a company can be replaced, but some charismatic CEOs not so easily.

If PVFM and Anil haven't invented Akida, we would not be here, they are the true inventors.

Hi Diogenese,
I asked Gpt a question, what do you think as it sounds like they are continuing to submitted new AI patents ?. Hopefully one day we get a mention.


Sony has been actively involved in the development of AI and neuromorphic computing, with several patents related to these fields, including one specifically for a "Neuromorphic computing device and method" filed on August 29, 2023, and published on March 7, 2024 [1] [2] [3]. This patent, US20240076295A1, describes a neuromorphic computing device designed to efficiently process information using spiking neural networks, mimicking the human brain's structure and function

 

[itsol4605]

I already have to many shares over the million mark

My dear friend,
you can never own too many shares of a company you believe in.

 

[manny100]

Should I be concerned about the companies future
Do we have the ability and knowledge to get contracts with out tenns.
That’s why the rollout of the chips
We are deep in the shit by the sounds of it.

Its the responsibility of the BOD to ensure staff are of sufficient quality to ensure the elements of the Roadmap are completed in a timely manner. That is what clients expect.
As recent as the last google video Sean was talking up having the world's "best scientists and egineers in the:market period end of story".
So presumably we have no issues with staff quality.

Hi SS,


Yes Sony files thousands of patents a year.

Thay have > 3500 filings which refer to "neural network".

The one I mentioned is relates to their 3D pixel array on processor we were discussing.

PS: Did chatty mistype that patent application number?

You think any CEO in the world would say "we have some mediocre scientists"? It's all yap no substance
