"Hound dog howlin' all forlorn
Laziest dog that ever was born.
He's howlin' 'cause he's sittin' on a thorn -
just too tired to move over."
This is a patent from November 2020. it uses NN models to generate a voice response, but it uses a transformer (26) to do the speech recognition. Funnily enuf, we were discussing transformers earlier - in a derogatory way.
But, if they wanted to improve it to
"Hey Mecedes!" standard ...
US2022165257A1 NEURAL SENTENCE GENERATOR FOR VIRTUAL ASSISTANTS
[0002] The present subject matter is in the field of artificial intelligence systems and Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). More particularly, embodiments of the present subject matter relate to methods and systems for neural sentence generation models.
[0054] Instead of creating these unlimited ways of utterance sentences by experienced developers, the present subject matter can employ neural network models and machine learning to automate the generation of numerous, thorough, and effective sample utterance sentences to invoke one intent. Generated by finetuned natural language generators and trained classifiers, these sample utterance sentences can have a semantic meaning to invoke the specific intent they were created for.
[0080] According to some embodiments, the system can train the classifier model 26 to predict the probability of a generated utterance sentence being correct by finetuning from a pre-trained NLG model such as a transformer. Various transformer models such as XLNET, BART, BERT, or ROBERTA, and their distilled versions can provide sufficient accuracy and acceptable training and inference-time performance for different datasets and applications.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer_(machine_learning_model)
A transformer is a deep learning model that adopts the mechanism of self-attention, differentially weighting the significance of each part of the input data. It is used primarily in the fields of natural language processing (NLP)[1] and computer vision (CV).[2]
Like recurrent neural networks (RNNs), transformers are designed to process sequential input data, such as natural language, with applications towards tasks such as translation and text summarization. However, unlike RNNs, transformers process the entire input all at once. The attention mechanism provides context for any position in the input sequence. For example, if the input data is a natural language sentence, the transformer does not have to process one word at a time. This allows for more parallelization than RNNs and therefore reduces training times.[1]
Transformers were introduced in 2017 by a team at Google Brain[1] and are increasingly the model of choice for NLP problems,[3] replacing RNN models such as long short-term memory (LSTM). The additional training parallelization allows training on larger datasets. This led to the development of pretrained systems such as BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) and GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer), which were trained with large language datasets, such as the Wikipedia Corpus and Common Crawl, and can be fine-tuned for specific tasks.[4][5]

I found this interview quite outstanding and could not stop watching it. How bloody informative was it. Being a shareholder, it has instilled a high level of confidence in me of what Brainchip has developed. Clearly they are the industry leaders and it is only a matter of time before the dam walls burst. As I reflect on all the dot joining how can I not be excited by the prospects going forward. So glad to be a part of this journey and appreciative of the sharing of knowledge and information so freely given on this forum. Beers and Cheers to all.

I'm Spartacus!
Really loved this presentation.
To my mind this simply explains what Brainchip has been doing for the past year or so.
Setting us up into the coming and required ecosystems that will dominate so much of the nascent and currently developing tech that will dominate for the next 10- 20 years.
And we are still just getting started on our initial iterations of the Akida tech. with enhancement after enhancement already in the pipeline.

Foreign media reported that Alibaba's Pingtou Brother's RISC-V patch has been incorporated into the original code by the Android system. It is not only the first time that Android officially supports RISC-V architecture, but also symbolizes the expansion of the RSIC-V ecosystem. Zhang, grabbed the market of more than 1 billion mobile phone processors a year. Industries such as SiFive and Taichang Jingxinology (6533-TW) are expected to benefit.
The industry believes that with the increasing number of software and hardware that support RSIC-V, and the world's top two mobile phone processors, Qualcomm (QCOM-US) and mediaTek (2454-TW), have invested in SiFive and Crystal Heart, respectively, and Apple (AAPL-US) The RISC-V team has also been set up, which makes the RISC-V growth space full of imagination.
Foreign media pointed out that Brother Pingtou reached a contributor license agreement (CLA) with Google in June this year to carry out technical cooperation and sharing on Android system support for RISC-V architecture and other work, and then Google's own system core AOSP(An Droid Open Source Project) has also begun to integrate Pingtou's patches into the system.
According to the data, Pingtou Brother submitted 76 basic code patches such as Bionic Libc and simulators this time, of which 18 were directly merged into the official patches of AOSP, 12 key patches, and 4 external project patches, becoming the world's first And RISC-V patch for roid system.
The industry also believes that at this stage, the relationship between the United States and China is becoming more and more tense. China has been strangled by the United States due to various technical problems, and is also actively looking for alternative solutions, hoping to reduce its dependence on the U.S. x86 and Arm architecture through RSIC-V.

The Automotive Space Gears Up to Take on RISC-V
SiFive is creating a lineup of compute IP for MCUs, MPUs, and soon, SoCs, as well as vector-processing solutions tailored for automotive applications. The first automotive family...
This article is part of the TechXchange: RISC-V: The Instruction-Set Alternative
What you'll learn:
How will RISC-V facilitating automotive SoC design, especially for mixed-criticality apps?
The lineup of compute IP being developed by SiFive.
Key trends in automotive electronic architecture these days include centralization of computing, increased computing at the sensing edge, higher software complexity due to mixed criticality (a system containing computer hardware and software that can execute several applications of different criticality, such as safety critical and non-safety critical), and a shift from domain to zonal controllers, to list but a few. These requirements have created the need for new, more capable electronic control units (ECUs), and a higher degree of functional integration in fewer devices.
An open standard is one obvious answer, allowing multiple vendors to be used. It helps drive costs down and enables designers to accommodate new capabilities as they become available.
SiFive, an organization that’s not a chip manufacturer but makes the plans for chipmakers to use, employs a RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA)—a base for building chips that defines what kind of software can run on the chips. Arm Ltd.'s Arm ISA and Intel's x86 are the dominant ISAs used today for general-purpose processors, but both are proprietary while RISC-V is an open standard.
The global RISC-V ecosystem is growing rapidly and now consists of more than 3,000 members. Working without proprietary lock-in, companies can license from multiple vendors and have more flexibility to design their own IP where needed, while maintaining software and ecosystem compatibility.
Renesas, for example, “has been closely collaborating with SiFive to bring the strong benefits of RISC-V to many of our products,” said Takeshi Kataoka, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Automotive Solution Business Unit at Renesas. “RISC-V continues to gain momentum around the world, and we plan to leverage SiFive’s portfolio of automotive RISC-V products in our future automotive SoC solutions to meet the exacting demands of these global customers.”
Automotive Compute IP
SiFive is creating a complete lineup of compute IP for MCUs, MPUs, and soon, SoCs, as well as vector-processing solutions tailored for automotive applications. The first automotive family cores will be available later in 2022. And by the second half of 2023, two more product series will be added.
Using a single ISA across its product offerings—from safety islands to real-time products to ADAS and central zone compute—increases code portability and can reduce cost and time-to-market. RISC-V vector extensions will bring enhanced machine-learning and DSP capabilities.
An increasingly important trend in the design of real-time and embedded systems is the integration of components with different levels of criticality onto a common hardware platform. Criticality is a designation of the level of assurance against failure needed for a system component. A mixed-criticality system is one that has two or more distinct levels (for example safety critical, mission critical, and low-critical) like ASIL B, ASIL D, or mixed criticalities with split-lock, which is high compute performance coupled with high safety-integrity support.
SiFive solutions are being developed to address automotive needs for current and future applications like infotainment, cockpit, connectivity, ADAS, and electrification. This is as the automotive market transitions to zonal architectures and manufacturers ask for energy efficiency, simplicity, security, and software flexibility. The RISC-V ecosystem enables a workload-targeted chip design, based on an open specification base that enables industry-wide collaboration to build standards and specifications for commercial competition.
The New Set of Chip Series
SiFive has launched a new product portfolio and its first three automotive product series, each with area- and performance-optimized variants. The company says it’s the only RISC-V IP supplier to offer multiple processor series that meets automotive designers’ needs with regard to compute, integrity, and security.
These latest chips include the E6-A series for digital control applications like steering, S7-A for so-called "safety islands" that act as a failsafe for other critical applications, and X280-A to manage data from image sensors and do machine-learning work, including for autonomous driving.
E6-A
The automotive E6-A series has IP options that are both area- and performance-optimized for different integrity levels such as ASIL B, ASIL D, or split-lock, in line with ISO 26262. With “split-lock” capability, high compute performance can be coupled with high safety-integrity support.
Split-lock differs from lock-step by adding the flexibility not available in lock-stepped CPU implementations. It allows the system to be configured either in a “split mode” (two independent CPUs that can be used for diverse tasks and applications), or “lock mode” (the CPUs are lock-stepped for high safety-integrity applications) at boot up.
SiFive’s automotive products are accompanied by complete safety packages that include documentation to accelerate Safety Element out of Context (SEooC) integration and, with it, time-to-market. In the automotive world, the SEooC defined in ISO 26262-10 is the method for using components in a vehicle that weren’t originally designed for that specific project. Components that are developed without any idea of where they will be fitted fall under the purview of SEooC.
The E6-A series targets a variety of real-time, 32-bit applications from system control to hardware security modules and safety islands, and as standalone in microcontrollers. E6-A has a 32-bit real-time core and is the first commercially available offering from SiFive with broad availability later in 2022.
Building on the foundations of the SiFive Essential portfolio, the multicore-capable design of the E6-A series offers what’s claimed to be the industry’s best-in-class functional-safety support as a SEooC to enable use in applications with Automotive Safety Integrity Levels (as per ISO 26262) up to ASIL B and ASIL D. The automotive products are accompanied by complete safety packages that include documentation to accelerate SEooC integration.
E6-AB, targeted at ASIL B integrity levels, employs minimal hardware redundancy of the logic to guarantee safety metrics are satisfied, without the use of Software Test Libraries. This enables faster time-to-market and minimizing software integration work.
S7-A
By the second half of 2023, two more product series will be added to the portfolio—the S7-A and X280-A. S7-A is an optimized 64-bit CPU tailored for safety islands requiring both low-latency interrupt support and the same memory space visibility as the main application CPUs. These are often used in ADAS, gateways, and domain controllers.
The combination of out-of-the-box features and design scalability enable designers to achieve a balance of power, performance, and area while achieving fast time-to-market for automotive MCUs, system controllers, battery-management systems (BMS), and safety islands for SoC markets. In addition to the automotive market, the E6-A series also is a good choice for broader deployment in MCU applications requiring functional-safety capabilities.
X280-A
The X280-A is a vector-capable processor well-suited for edge sensing in ADAS, sensor-fusion applications, and any ML/AI-accelerated functionality in the vehicle. Building on the performance and power efficiency of the X280, it’s aimed at sensors, sensor fusion, and other vector or ML-intensive workloads in automotive applications.
SiFive’s growing portfolio of IP will range from small 32-bit real-time CPUs all the way up to high-performance 64-bit application processors. Later in 2023, a new high-end processor, configurable to up to 16 cores, will be added to the portfolio.

Instead of talking in riddles, how about like everyone else on TSEx, you simply share what you actually think or know. If Nikunj gave a hint, why not just say what you think.
Everyone expresses their gratitude for your contribution, but what is it that you contribute? Please tell us what you think you know.

well how that now, *laughs, Brainchip was never with his tips
oh how fooooooooool.... if only you had known that sooner
Today, these shares are fetching 89 cents a share, based on the share price at the time of writing. So this investment would now be worth $1,797.80.
If I’d invested $10,000 in BrainChip shares a year ago, my investment would now be fetching $17,978.
Looking at the bigger picture for BrainChip shares, on 19 January 2022, the company’s share price hit a high of $2.13.
At that time, my $1,000 investment would have been worth a mammoth $4,302.6 If I had cashed in, I could have walked away with a more than $3,300 profit from a $1,000 investment.
Overall, if I had invested in BrainChip shares a year ago, I would certainly be happy with my investment.
Currently, BrainChip does not pay any dividends and has never done so in the past. As my Foolish colleague James reported last week, short sellers have also been targeting BrainChip shares of late."
