BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Stable Genius]

Between Valeo and Nvidia who's doing what? Is BRN working with both. Merc recently made a statement they're implementing a complete new system in 2024 led by Nvidia using Akida posted by FF 3 days ago

Hi Proga,

Valeo
i am very excited about the prospect of Akida being used with Valeo’s sensors. We know for a fact they have an agreement. What that agreement is for is still subject to an NDA. We know “Lidar is Akida’s sweet spot.”

We know Valeo have stated they intend (and I suggest) have already started making 3 bilion sensors over the next 5 years.

It’s all in their financial and strategic presentation I have posted numerous times because I think it is a very important document for Brainchips short term future. https://www.valeo.com/wp-content/up...eUp_Strategic_Financial_Outlook_2022-2025.pdf

If you haven’t read the presentation it has some very impressive figures included

In the Valeo document is the following image which is labelled:

Application software: Mobileye, Qualcomm, Nvidia
Core software: (basis and middleware) Autosar
Software Foundary: (Toolchain) AWS, Microsoft. Interestingly those two were also in an image with SiFive posted by DIO today.

So the above images are relative to the software. My opinion is that Akida will form part of the hardware making the numerous sensors smart.

It’s common knowledge Valeo are part of Mercedes Drive Pilot. Their latest video from their CTO has him pointing at their lidar in the grill of the car. It’s obviously a very important part of the system because it offers unique technology which is a key part heading towards autonomous driving.

My take on it is that just like you need different ingrediants to bake a cake you need different software/hardware for autonomous vehicles.

I offer no guarantees but I believe Akida is the secret sauce!

Cheers.

Completely agree mate. I was talking to my old mans best mate who is a prominent financial advisor/stock analyst. I rang him to discuss brainchip and he had never heard of them..he took one look and wasn’t interested. The big boys are still on the sidelines when it comes to BRN so the real fun will begin once our revenue substantially increases

He that shall live this day, and see old age
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say ‘To-morrow is Akida 1k.’
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his bling,
And say ‘These knickknacks I had on 'kida’s day.’

Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words,
Fact Finder, Uiux and the poster formerly known as Manchild,
Dolci and Bravo, Slade and PigsMightyFart,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remember’d

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that holds his shares with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:

And gentlemen in ASX now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That bought with us upon 'kida 1k day.

Quantum to Showcase Video Enrichment and Analytics Solution Using CatDV Software with NVIDIA AI at NAB 2022​

“Quantum CatDV has been leveraging NVIDIA GPU systems for years as part of our media transformation implementations. With this solution, customers can now add NVIDIA’s world-class, proven AI and ML technologies to their content workflows. The solution serves as a centralized platform to enable users to find the hidden value in content libraries and amplify human curation like never before,”

This solution gives customers an on-premises alternative to cloud-delivered AI services that fully utilizes high-performance GPU hardware in a proven asset management and automation platform. Customers can automate common content-tagging and enhancement tasks such as object recognition within video frames, speech-to-text transcription, video and audio super-resolution, and other tools to add valuable metadata to video and image files, saving time and money, and unlocking hidden value in their media content libraries.

This enhanced video enrichment capability was first demonstrated at NVIDIA GTC in March, with an example of a sports broadcaster challenge: find all instances of referee yellow cards across hundreds of hours of soccer footage. Once objects or actions within video frames were identified, this content was then compiled into a ‘supercut’ within CatDV, with fully indexed and correlated timeline markers for human expert review, saving potentially hundreds of hours of work.

“At GTC 2022, NVIDIA named Quantum as an inaugural partner in the NVIDIA AI Accelerated Program, which helps developers build AI applications that customers can deploy with confidence,” said Kari Briski, vice president of software product management, AI and HPC SDKs, NVIDIA. “Quantum’s customers will be able to enjoy world-class AI and ML with this new content enrichment automation solution, powered by NVIDIA.

The Quantum AI content enhancement automation solution is comprised of:

• Quantum CatDV Enterprise with CatDV Automation Workers
• AI/ML integration based on NVIDIA DeepStream video analytics, NVIDIA Riva automatic speech recognition and text-to-speech technology, and NVIDIA Maxine video and audio quality enhancement SDKs
• NVIDIA A2 Tensor Core GPU infrastructure pipeline integration for Quantum CatDV proxy generation, transcoding, and AI acceleration
• Additional optional custom AI/ML development to meet customer needs or to enable customer’s development teams on the common platform
• Quantum StorNext shared file storage environment integration
• Optional Quantum NVMe storage to accelerate content movement within the GPU pipeline
• Optional Quantum archive to Quantum ActiveScale, Quantum Scalar tape, or S3-compatible storage

This from Jan 30 2019 ( BRN update )

Quantum Corporation continues to market BrainChip Studio to their customers in two primary vertical markets, which are Media and Entertainment (M&E) and Surveillance. § The Company will visit several major M&E production companies with Quantum during the first quarter of 2019. § In surveillance, the joint sales effort is currently pursuing a Smart City project in Asia.

Fun Fact:
Louis DiNardo was once on the Board of Quantum Corp.

Have not heard much about the Quantum/Brainchip relationship over the past couple of years, but I'm assuming they continue to work together in the background now that everything has gone super secret squirrel !

So the NAB show in Vegas over the next 4 days may be worth keeping an eye on,
NAB Show in Las Vegas, running April 23-27.

[Diogenese]

The thing I worry about, if I worry at all about my investment in Brainchip, is that I am an older investor and like Warren Buffet suspicious of technology as I did not grow up with it and unlike my children still have trouble with many aspects. For the life of me I cannot reset the clock on our Bosch oven after a blackout but my son-in-law does it while talking about something unrelated in seconds.

So it does seem logical to me that the retail investor most likely to actually best grasp the technology on offer from Brainchip are the millennials as they are paid up educated members of the technology age.

They understand technology and can recognise when it is more advanced and are constantly critiquing the latest mobile phones, lap tops, iPads, PC's, movie channel interphases, the NBN fibre -v- wireless, the interphases in the latest Porsche or Jaguar and feel so comfortable with Google and their ability to research they do not need financial advisors who in most cases are far less well educated and technology savvy than themselves.

Only this last week we had to have a service on our gas log fire. The gas plumber arrived and by appearances he was a millennial. He lays out his rug undoes a few screws and reveals the workings of the fire. Out of his tool bag comes his pad and he hooks up a couple of wires then engages in an analysis of the system, identifies the faults and carries out the necessary service then tests the system with the pad. He then prepares the invoice on the pad takes the payment via my credit card on the pad and then emails me the receipt and warranty.

I go to my mechanic again he looks just like a millennial and he hooks my various cars up to his computer and off he goes running the diagnostics.

My plumber in the country when he sets up to install septic system lines is out with his computer driven level taking device and in seconds has his readings taken. He too looks like a millennial.

These are all trades people before we even get to those who work in offices, laboratories and what about C.A.D. systems used by drafts people, architects and builders. It just goes on and on millennials live and breath technology every day of their working and private lives.

Yet when millennials identify that a technology stock which they understand is worthy of investing in use the technology of modern communication to discuss and recommend that stock to other millennials they are abused by so called financial advisors and analysts who are WANCA's and have just like me no idea how to set the clock on their oven at home.

These same WANCA's have, I guarantee just like me used Google to find sites where these same millennials have reviewed the latest iPhone or Samsung and taken their advice as to which is the best phone to purchase.

I have reached a point where I think that on the scale that ranks professions and has at or near the bottom used car salesman these individual WANCA's would clearly have to be placed even lower down.

My opinion only DYOR

Interesting article with insights in the IBM symposium held last October. From On-Chip-Learning to TinyML several relations to Brainchip can be found.

[Dhm]

Had deep dive into their website including personnel and advertised positions and my view though I may be wrong is there is no one on staff with a background in the SNN technology. They mainly have a software background and a couple have worked extensively on compressing neural networks for use with Accelerators. Their device despite using the term programmable is limited to sound and any programming is done in advance based on the intended use. Not even in the extras on the AKIDA technology set.

My opinion only DYOR
FF

AKIDA BALLISTA

FF, long may you resort to family members to solve your minor problems. But long may we, your fellow Brainchip collaborators, thank you for your deep dives into potential leads that normal mortals would not have the wherewithal to tackle. Sincere admiration.

As we all know there is ongoing engagement between Tata and Brainchip.

I found this post interesting. What other Australian Company is Tata working with regards to Ethical AI?

Sounds like this person is as excited as we are!

Ps:
Speculation only

[Chilling]

@Chilling - are you William H Macey? I've read your posts for a while and they remind me of the role he played in The Cooler. Friendly, slightly diffident but a real downer on everyone around him. It was a deliberate tactic by his casino employer to reduce the buzz of a successful punter. We're not punters, we're investors - and I have a suspicion you're not an investor like us - I think you may be a little escapee from that other place, just sowing seeds of doubt. If I'm wrong then tell me so and I'll back off while I read your positive posts about our great company. BAAAAAALLLLISTA

Yes I am definitely a long term investor but not a cheerleader am looking for real revenue and commercial success I appreciate the founders are undoubtedly brilliant minds who have a brilliant product in a huge growing field but that doesn't always translate to commercial success as you would well know.
I suspect alot of you shall we say elder investors in Brainchip are already independently wealthy and your Brainchip investment is just the icing on the cake and as a such ignore any potential negative press. I am definitely not in this position and am guarding my investment in Brainchip carefully and if it reaches a point I will unfortunately have to sell half of my investment not held through super time frame wont come into it
So I will continue to ask myself why has something happened or hasnt happened has the game changed.
Go and play your violin somewhere worthwhile to those clowns on hot crapper instead of wasting it on me.

The big boys are still on the sidelines when it comes to BRN so the real fun will begin once our revenue substantially increases

Big boys don't usually invest in start-ups. Look at the FAANGS when they were at the same stage as BRN. Just entering commercialisation. They need to see significant revenue before becoming interested. They're happy to buy in at $20-$30 and ride it to $100 etc

Hey Chilling,

Just curious to know what the negative press is that you think some amongst us are ignoring? What is "the point" at which you think you may have to sell half of your shares? You also talked about asking yourself if the game has changed or not. Can you elaborate on this because I'm not clear about what you're referring to. Just interested to hear your response is all.

SG,

I have no doubt Akida is the secret sauce but I'm a little confused with what. Are you suggesting Akida will be used in Valeo's sensors for lidar which Merc are incorporating in their vehicles in 2022? Will those same sensors be used by Merc when they incorporate whatever Nvidia/BRN are working on to be implemented in 2024? If so we should expect some revenue later this year.

Hi Bravo I wont be listing any negatives here or elsewhere they are really just unanswered questions at this point time will be the teller technology does evolve very quickly so alot of situations or uses can change for better or worse this is what I mean by game change.
My sell point is personal but just as anyone it is to save my bank and I really hope and dont expect it to be in play I bought more shares last week.
I am very positive on Brainchip and really hoping it can do great things time will tell.
