In the latest advertisement posted for "Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence - Sales Manager", I find this sentence quite reassuring in relation to customers that have most likely validated the AKIDA technology for their applications:

"A principal goal for the Sales Manager is the sell
BrainChip’s enterprise agreements within several
named accounts and broad geography, and in so
doing create a means for the achievement of the
revenue target."


"Several named accounts...."

On the topic of Linkedin, I've been watching the growth of the number of people following Brainchip and as I write this it is sitting at 5970 followers. I've noticed that the number of new followers per day is in the range of 25-30 people now, compared to about 10 people a day only 2 months ago.
This is just one of the many avenues that is getting Brainchips name out to the masses.

I sometimes get caught up in the whole idea of is this company or that company a competitor to Brainchip but I have to learn to pull myself up and no longer think in these terms.

Brainchip has in human terms made itself an agnostic. It has no allegiance to any processor or sensor type. It is promoting itself as a non aligned universal solution to any edge compute problem.

Why am I raising this because just now after our discussion of SiFive and Brainchip taking on ARM I was reminded of the following:

(Sorry something went wrong with link but it’s an easy Google search to find ARM Ai Ecosystem partner Renesas)

Renesas is an ARM Ai ecosystem partner. Brainchip is aligned with Renesas through the licence of its IP.

I must revert my thinking to a couple of years ago where I equated AKIDA technology to the simple self tapping metal screw. There are tens of billions perhaps trillions of these tiny screws in products around the world most of these products being in fierce competition one with the other for market share but all buying the same screws from different suppliers.

Renesas is an ARM Ai ecosystem partner and uses AKIDA Ai and ARM promotes Renesas.

SiFive is partnered with Brainchip and uses AKIDA Ai.

AWS is an ARM Ai Ecosystem partner. (for MC)

Brainchip is actually very much like an international arms dealer selling to both sides of any conflict completely unaligned.

In the end regardless of who wins the arms dealer wins. The same applies to Brainchip. ARM and Renesas crush SiFive Brainchip wins. SiFive crushes ARM Brainchip wins. They fight each other to a draw. Brainchip wins.

My opinion only DYOR

Do we employ social media bods? If not, we need to! This is getting very poor.

I went looking to see if I could find their heads and found this which I found very interesting given the recent discussions around communication networks:


No opinion other than I did not know Socionext was in this space.

Great find Iseki. This is the full package MB are currently working on to be implemented in 2024. EQXX is only part of it.

In the field of digitisation, we focus on the seamless integration and harmonisation of software and electronics. This includes the development of innovative products and services aimed at customers' needs. The next big step in this regard is our internally developed operating system MB.OS as a direct interface for customer-experience features, which will become the basis for all future Mercedes-Benz vehicles as a unique and standard software platform. The MB.OS operating system will perfectly link the vehicles with the cloud and the IoT, and comprise four central domains: Powertrain, Autonomous Driving, Infotainment and Body & Comfort Systems.

They intend to implement it into every new model from 2024. Internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric. MB will stop producing new models of ICE vehicles after 2025. They'll continue to manufacture them while demand remains but only make minor updates. What I think will happen is MB will release new models for their entire ICE range in 2024/25 so every vehicle has the new MB.OS operating system moving forward.

My guess is Akida technology could be on up to 20 chips per car for an ICE vehicle and 40-50 chips on an electric vehicle. In an electric vehicle, it wouldn't surprise me if Akida technology was used in all four central domains. MB make 2.5m vehicles per year. Not a bad little royalty earner.
...and Akida may not stop at the garage..

Just a heads up there is a new thread for those who have bought the Boards to act as a kind of tech support space. @uiux and others are needed there and if you can get it up and running I will continue my efforts as set out in my post on that thread.

It would be great to have two options for the akida chip - one with Arm inside, another with risc-v inside. I don't think I have grasped the SiFive agreement wholly. Everyone ( okay, Intel ) thinks the world will go with risc-v in the near future. Meanwhile risc-v (well, SiFive ) thinks the demand for Akida will explode. I wonder what our budget is to get up close and personal with risc-v is?

I love it. So there will be two future EQXX concepts:

Concept one save the planet quickly at low speeds.

Concept two save the planet more slowly but at super plaid speed.

Option 2. Sounds a winner.

I had a brief look a couple of weeks ago and decided because I knew that Yole had ranked Valeo as number one with 28% of the global market share their claims to be the leader cause Aeva’s claims to fall rather flat. They were were ranked six or seven in a list of 12 Lidar startups so even amongst startups they fell short.

LiDAR is a very competitive space and Valeo is the market leader and Brainchip have hooked themselves a shooting star so I say let Valeo worry about the competition but in the end they will all want AKIDA technology.

The global LiDAR automotive market is said to be worth $US50 billion by 2025 if Valeo continue to pick up 28% $US14 billion that is a let’s not get greedy Brainchip is going to be very well positioned even if only Valeo are using AKIDA.

Here is an article that refers to even Huawei are chasing this market:

The global lidar market share is exposed! France's Valeo ranks first: Huawei's ranking is surprising​

However, at the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, Huawei officially released its self-developed lidar products and solutions. The 96-line medium and long-distance lidar was the first to be unveiled, which allows cars to have rapid perception capabilities in these complex scenarios.

In order to ensure that Huawei's lidar equipment can meet the needs of huge manufacturers, after Huawei has quickly established the first pilot production line of car-grade lidar, it has also begun to plan an annual output of 100,000 sets/line of car-grade lidar. For the Pilot production line factory, Huawei has also made a direct statement about this. It will directly cut the price of Lidar equipment with a price of up to 10,000 yuan or even hundreds of thousands of yuan to the 1,000 yuan mark, because Huawei has already released To put it harshly, Huawei will reduce the manufacturing cost of lidar equipment to US$200 or even US$100. The cost of lidar equipment is also a core element of Huawei's consideration. It has been said that the cost will be reduced to US$200 in the future, or even US$100. It's 100 dollars.

And on September 2nd, Yole Développement, a world-renowned market research organization, officially released a report "Lidar for Automotive and Industrial Applications", which clearly mentioned the current market share list of lidar suppliers, the first level in France. The automotive supplier Valeo has 28%, ranking first in the world, while Huawei's lidar equipment market share has reached 3%, ranking twelfth in the world. Of course, once Huawei really beats the price, it will be even bigger in the future. The market awaits Huawei.

Aeva + Arteris, so they would be aware of what Brainchip have to offer thru Mr Viana.
Just saying.

Also on a couple of other points, they are backed in by Denso ( 2nd Largest Automotive Supplier in the world ) + ZF ( 5th Largest )
Toyota own 25% of Denso.
Also backed in by Porsche. Porsche have the controlling vote within the Volkswagen Group.
Appreciate that they're down on the list, but definitely one to keep an eye on.

The way all these relationships seem to be intertwining, would not surprise Akida pops out as the standard for the central control unit to tie everything together.

Yes, I think this scenario is very likely and whilst it will be intimidating to some it may be liberating for others. This close interaction of AGI and what remains of humanity is explored in much of science fiction. Recommend the works of Neal Asher and his "Polity" series in which certain implications are investigated, particularly the role people may play in a future dominated by intelligences unhindered by our glacial and biological evolution.
This is, in part, why I am happy to be invested in our Company, engendered by PVDM and his eye to the beneficial uses of our technology.
Undoubtedly, over time, myriad and disparate (some of dubious morality) applications will ensue, but I take heart that beneficence was also present in the DNA of its creation. At least for our types of sentience much behaviour is attributable to early influences and I am pleased to be a part of and supporter of Brainchip with its recognition of such matters.
I see AGI as inevitable and we as a link of the chain in its genesis.
