It would be amazing to find out what herbs and spices go in the secret sauce Dio. Something yells at me a dash of NDAHi Manny,
I did note the quote about extremely low power, and I'd like to know what secret sauce they use to reconcile this with INT16 and FP32.
There is his reference to the patent applications for moving data from memory, so we need to keep an eye out for those, although they may not be published for 18 months. I expect they will publish a paper on the topic if it is commercially advantageous.
The ISL quote is very encouraging. Dr Guerci is a fan, just as Luca Verre of Prophesee was.
ISL has been in the EAP about 3.5 years since early 2022
The ISL patent dates from 2021, and their AI web page refers to analog, but they are now aware of Akida.

Artificial Intelligence, Neuromorphic Computing and DoD Acceptance Testing
ISL is focused on replicating the analog nature of biological computation and the role of neurons in cognition. ISL’s team of scientists/engineers continue to understand how the morphology of individual neurons, circuits, applications, and overall architectures creates desirable computations. Leveraging this understanding and the newly developed and emerging commercial neuromorphic* chips, ISL is developing a new low-power, lightweight detect and avoid (DAA) system for very small UAS platforms that exploits automotive radar hardware, light-weight EO/IR sensors, advanced data fusion algorithms, and neuromorphic computing.
Additionally, ISL has pioneered an AI acceptance methodology that allows for DoD testing of AI solutions using essentially the same statistically based methodology in use today. ISL was awarded a US Patent for this February (see link). The methodology leverages ISL’s RF Digital Engineering tools (https://www.islinc.com/digital-engineering ).
We have development partnerships with a range of companies from startups, beautique specialists (ISL, Prophesee, Quantum Ventura, Chelpis), through to heavyweights like Valeo, Tata, VVDN, Frontgrade and Raytheon. I think that there is a pressing need for the QV CyberNeuro-RT M2 and the Chelpis M2 cybersecurity card, but apparently most of the 75k COTS chips are spoken for.
* The analog crowd are possessive of the term "neuromorphic".
