Loihi 2 vs. Akida
Hello all, first post and I express a lot of ignorance about AI. But I notice recently that Intel have now welcomed Brainchip's Akida IP in to Intel Foundry Services. Is this acknowledgement that Loihi 2 is nowhere as advanced as Akida or will Loihi continue to be developed. I understand that...community.intel.com

Thought I’d better add Emmanuel Hernandez reply in
I think you are 12 months out. Manny retired prior to the last AGMApologies but I can’t remember who asked about LDA and how many shares they held. Screen shot of last AGM View attachment 26874
Agreed, can't see that ending well.That’s disappointing to see, Intel are our new amazing partner and someone is poking the bear

CorrectI think you are 12 months out. Manny retired prior to the last AGM
Agreed and it serves no benefit whatesoever. But it's not going to do any real damage in my opinion - I'm sure the thread can be easily removed if the forum moderators wish to do so.That’s disappointing to see, Intel are our new amazing partner and someone is poking the bear
Brainchip not directly mention. However, Brainchip is in the Arm's AI Ecosystem.

Hi @Iseki
It’s my understanding the next lot of taping out by Brainchip is for a more advanced version of Akida. As has been discussed previously there is an expectation it will contain a transformer which is a huge accomplishment and technological advancement.
It is suggested that is what the early acceptance of the finance from LDA is going to achieve therefore I see that as a positive.
SocioNext assisted with the first chip which was successful first time therefore I would expect them to be assisting again. SocioNext are also customers as proven by the CES when they were promoting products which included Akida.
Renesas would obviously prefer to use their own technology to achieve higher profit margins therefore it is another outstanding result they have paid for a licence to use Akida. It speaks to the superior advancements Akida has at the edge which Renesas cannot achieve without us.
That in itself speaks volumes to me!
So although Renesas has their own technology they are currently taping out a product using Akida which makes them a customer. A top 5 microprocessor company in the world sees Akida as superior to their own product. I look forward to when the royalties start flowing in. Given the cost and time to produce the product by Renesas I can‘t see why they would be changing it in the foreseeable future so hopefully the royalties will be flowing for the next decade or so!
This will of course be followed by revenue streams from Arm, SiFive, Intel, VVDN, Prophesee etc over a multitude of use cases, smart city, health, automotive etc.
The future looks great!

Yeah.. i know who it is also.I think I know who that is, and I doubt he intended anything bad.
Pretty sure he can delete the post before the US wakes up![]()

We are an approved piece of IP that can be added at the IFS. So when you presesnt a commercial order your custom Chip or SoC from IFS you can specify AKIDA IP inside safe in the Knowledge that INTEL are comfortable from an engineering and performce point of view that it will work. It is a big deal. If Lohi was ready to roll then that too would be available.... but it isn't !If I understand correctly, Intel Foundry Services open up Intel's processes to other companies that want to have their chips manufactured. It's like an alternative to using TSMC, providing a way to hedge against chip shortages that can occur when the supply chain is bottlenecked by a single manufacturer.
I think that there is a mistaken assumption that Intel is either conceding that a company with a competing technology using their services has the better technology, or that they are abandoning their continued research and perhaps intended competition with their Loihi 2 processor. I do not think this is the case.
However, what BrainChip does have in its favor is that: a) they were the first to commercialize its neuromorphic processor while Loihi 2 is still a research chip, and b) Akida and its successors are protected by various patents.

My Ioof doesHi All, does anyone know an industry super that lets you trade asx200. I’m with AUS Super. But they only allow ASX300 and others, but not 200.
Looking and converting 10-20% of current sum into BRN. And keep the rest in their usual “stable” and “safe” investment schemes.
Fully aware of risks etc etc.
