I was of the understanding that they tested the Just Talk with Akida by using a beautiful ly dressed lady wearing a see through blouse . She said just talk and then gave the direction to drive her to church . The response was ( You will not be allowed in church ) to which she stated that she had a Devine right to go to mass on a Sunday . Akida replied (You also have a Devine left but you still will not be admitted .—-Bring on Akida.This Motortrend article from Jan 2022 is still available on Brainchip's website today.

Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX Concept: Did You See This Coming, Elon?
The establishment strikes back.www.motortrend.com
Mercedes engineers worked with California-based artificial-intelligence developer BrainChip to create systems based on the company's Akida hardware and software. Among other things, the technology makes the "Hey, Mercedes" voice control system in the EQXX five to ten times more efficient than conventional voice control.
Even though the new 3rd Gen version of MBUX which is going into the upcoming E-Class is only a pre-cursor to the MBOS, I'd say it's "odds on" that it'll have a little Akida sauce inside. At the very least for the "Just Talk" ( Hey Mercedes ) function.
I also based on poor logic suggest that as Brainchip said late last year they were continuing to work with Mercedes Benz that in all likelihood full implementation aimed at implementing AKIDA technology at scale is still in design or at least still under test if design work has been finalised.
If this poor logic stands up then there is nothing at all to be read into the absence of a discussion of neuromorphic in any other presentation.
My opinion only DYOR

Thanks @Falling Knife, you expressed exactly what I was trying to say in my poorly worded post earlier.MB are top of the class and the delivery of this presentation is testamant to that
MB OS presentation 23/Feb/2023
Just a thought about something I pulled from the presentation
@ 6:45 When talking about the MB Security profile of a customer states that the 'My profile' is being stored into the cloud, so when I step into my car it recognizes me…..……
As FF poor logic proposed, AKIDA would be presumed not to be fully implemented in this functionality for MB at this stage.
But at 13:35
MB will be offering a sneak preview of All new E Class which is a precursor of the MB.OS in the infotainment domain
'This is the first time in history MB has programed the complete software for the MB OS'
It will be launched later this year and 'Markus will be offering insight into what we will actually offer in the near future'.
'Super computer technology will be offered in every single Mercedes going forward. MB.OS 1.0 onward'
'The eyes and ears/ sensors of the car, the 'base sensor set' even in the entry vehicle, will be significantly more comprehensive than what you can buy in the S class today'. (clip showing the E Class is shown at 1:16:50)
The MB.OS 1.0 onward, IMO, is when the neuromorphic component will be fully implemented.
AKIDA will then allow the MB Security profile mentioned ealier above to be cloud free.
Security and safety is one of the most important factors underpinning all this functionality.
If not MB would follow the bad example Tesla has offered the world - its automated driving capabilites are not safe, cant be trusted and can kill.
MB are progressively implementing aspects of the Neuromorphic capability as the safety net expands following testing.
They can’t turn it all on at once as it is all so new.
In order for the systems and partnerships they have developed with other companies to work in unison, the tech they have chosen needs to be Ubiquitous. Therefore only when all the companies align with this new paradigm of computing can everything work securely and safely.
NVIDIA, GOOGLE, ZYNC are all invited to work with MB to create the infrastructure to make this all happen. They all have to be in the same neuromorphic space to build the end result. Power efficenceis will not be implemented in one system and ignored in the other as an example.
The neuromorphic aspect is not ready, or its not fully tested at this stage but connections are starting to fall into place, the infotainment ‘Hey Mercedes’ or ‘Just talk’ system is an example of progressive implementation. This is part of MB's end result that MB are happy to release and talk freely about bc it has already proven to be safe and secure.
Lower speed autonomous driving is offered now, MB are so confident in this release that they have accepted total liability for the drivers whilst using it, next comes higher speed autonomous driving. The progressive approach in every functionality is obvious.
All this coding, design and the associated UX testing plus the scale of implementation of this architecture with all these partners at all levels of the MB.OS takes time. 1.8 years just for 'just talk' or 'Hey Mercedes' functionality alone.
We might see a lower share price if there is no $ in the EOY report tied up with our licensed partners but only from Cold Dead Hands will anyone get a single one of my shares.
But I believe Magnus from MB when he summarised by saying
Royalties from this collaboration of parntners will appear in the financials in due course.
- As the architect we can report that our MB.OS built project is making Excellent progress
- Our living space is already well ahead of schedule and gives us the freedom and scope offer the best personalised luxury experience.
- Our partnerships ensure we offer the best content and navigation to assit us to retain our lead in relation to autated driving.
Brainchip doesn't supply sensors, they make them smarter. With that in mind I don't think we should've expect to be named in the MB presentation.
I have 3 questions.
1. Why do we expect akida to be a component in an OEM system when MB declared they worked directly with Brainchip to develop Akida to suit their needs.
2. Is it not logical that MB have their own proprietary tech of which akida is a part of and other OEM systems connect into.
3. If MB have their own proprietary tech as 2 above, why would they disclose that to the world. It's their secret sauce after all.
Hi jtardfi,Yeah, I understand though that reference was made in terms of how the operating system functions to save power. Of course Akida tech saves power using spikes - we all know that, but what intrigued me was this description was about the OS doing the same. At least that was how I took it?
7Hi Everyone, I'm stepping out of my comfort zone here, or just can't find a GIF to explain it thoroughly. So here goes.thoroughly
I really appreciate all the information that is put up for the rest of us to peruse. I guess it is lazy to just use other peoples hard work but some people have a lot of other things going on elsewhere as well, or they just aren't as good at researching.
That being said there are a few special posters that have from the very start contributed highly regarded information that I and lots of others very much appreciate and potentially would be lost without during tougher times. While I do my own research, as should everyone, sometimes the commentary around others research, is worth far more by the way it's relayed, something which I'm sure a lot of people take for granted but I would just like to offer my sincere thanks for all information.
As far as opposing views leading to elevated tensions, I think we should all take a step back from the sandpit and think, "does it really matter if we disagree, at least I know my opinion has been considered", or you could think, "f*&K off idiot, I'm right and you're wrong"! You have the power to decide and then keep scrolling if you wish. At no point do I wish these posts weren't there as without a contrarian viewpoint, we just end up becoming sheep that just follow the crowd, while investing in a company that is doing completely the opposite. This contrarian view makes me question and then research further to decide for myself. And people can call me what they want as I'm big enough and ugly enough to take it!
Now for the Gifs, yeah I know some hit and some miss and may overstep the true nature of this forum but the great Ricky Gervais once said if you think of something funny or a good joke, risk it and say it, as you may just make 1 persons day and that potential result is lost forever if you refrain. The risk of offending someone else, is that persons issue to bear, as being "offended" is a choice every person has to choose to be.
I fully believe in the company and hope we see huge amounts of wealth created all round as we are all here for this reason. Anyone having invested long ago will understand its just how our SP goes from time to time but one day I believe it will shoot up much higher and not turn back and then everyone will then be everyone else's mate again, except the shorters, they can burn on our rocket jets.
Rant over, stay positive everyone or negative that's your choice but realise "The burgers are better at Hungry Jacks"!
Will you look at that, I did find a gif that explains it all!!

Having an Akida front end on the servers of a server farm would be like adding a super-efficient cooling system only better. The amount of waste heat generated would be greatly reduced. Plus you could reduce the amount of energy needed to run the cooling system.Nice assessment ;
Arm is expected to make large gains .
Brainchip/ Arm = Armed & Dangerous
AMD expected to occupy over 20% of server CPU market and Arm 8% in 2023, according to DIGITIMES Research

AMD and Arm have been gaining up on Intel in the server CPU market in the past few years, and the margins of the share that AMD had won over were especially large in 2022 as datacenter operators and server brands began finding that solutions from the number-2 maker growing superior to those of the long-time leader, according to Frank Kung, DIGITIMES Research analyst focusing primarily on the server industry, who anticipates that AMD's share will well stand above 20% in 2023, while Arm will get 8%.
Prices are one of the three major drivers that resulted in datacenter operators and server brands switching to AMD. Comparing server CPUs from AMD and Intel with similar numbers of cores, clockspeed, and hardware specifications, the price tags of most of the former's products are at least 30% cheaper than the latter's, and the differences could go as high as over 40%, Kung said.
Such a gap makes a key difference to server companies as they usually procure their CPUs in large volumes and picking AMD's solutions would make a major reduction in their costs. Since Intel's and AMD's processors are both based on the x86 architecture, compatibility is not an issue that server companies need to worry about, Kung noted.
AMD CPUs' high number of cores also makes them perfect for the server environment as the higher the number of cores a CPU has, the more servicing capability it can offer. AMD's 96-core Genoa-architected EPYC processor was launched in the fourth quarter of 2022 with a 128-core CPU set to debut in the first half of 2023, while Intel's best offering in terms of the core number still stays at 60 at the moment.
Support from TSMC is the second driver. AMD's server CPUs are all made via TSMC's latest manufacturing process, allowing them to feature top-notch performances, noted Kung, adding that thanks to TSMC's advanced technologies and high yield rate, AMD has not had a problem with missing its product launch schedule. However, such is not the case with Intel.
The third driver is the fact that Intel is manufacturing all its top-tier CPUs in house. Information from Intel's upstream suppliers shows that Intel's in-house manufacturing technologies have been rather unstable during the past several years, while server brands and datacenter operators have often seen Intel delaying the volume production schedule of its new server platform.

Among datacenter operators, Microsoft and Google are the keenest in procuring servers powered by AMD's solutions. Currently, over 30% of server orders placed by the two cloud service providers are AMD-based models, while within server brands, HP Enterprise (HPE) is keener on AMD-powered servers.
Arm-based processors' penetration in the server market was a bit slower compared to AMD-based ones in 2022 in terms of market share increase, and the growth will decelerate even more in 2023, said Kung. However, in the long term, Arm-based processors will still have the potential for major growth.
Although Arm-based CPUs can achieve a neck-to-neck computing performance compared to x86-based ones from AMD and Intel while consuming much less power, compatibility is currently their biggest weakness.
Since most server programs are designed based on the x86 architecture, the problem is unlikely to fix until more Arm-based servers start to show up, attracting more middleware developers to join the market and write solutions to translate x86 codes for Arm systems.
However, datacenter operators and server brands are still aggressive about Arm processors' development in the server market. Amazon and Alibaba have already started working on Arm-based products before 2022, Microsoft and Google also began projects with Arm products in 2022, and HPE is expanding its adoption of Arm-based servers. Nvidia is now pushing its GPUs to support Arm architecture and Ampere is developing Arm-based chips. In the upcoming years, the opportunity from ESG is expected to take off for Arm CPUs as demand from large-scale datacenter and edge computing servers will surge, Kung added.

Would love to see what Akida could do to these graphs.
Perhaps management should be standing up & beating their chests announcing this to the worldIt's time for the world government to step in and mandate the use of Akida in cloud servers to save Planet A.
Hi Tech,
You have just mentioned something that has been in the back of my mind for quite a while and that is prospective customers looking but moving on. That happens to all business, but it the first time I have seen it mentioned with Brainchip. Thanks for that.
May I ask whether any of BRN's long list of "Partners" are included in the "gone away" category.
Thanks

Can’t see how promoting one’s product capabilities does any harm unless
Please don’t tell me the company’s placed a NDA on themselves which means they can’t tell us how great they are
Hey somme,
First off, my post contained my overall opinion, which could be 100% wrong or 100% right, it also included some facts, namely the one that you have raised, no partners, companies names or numbers were mentioned at the time, it really related to my question about, why haven't some, if not all of these EAP's signed an IP contract yet!
My words "gone away" could also be phrased as, "that's very interesting technology, at present we are 2 years into our current project, with 18 months to go before we mass market it, so nearer the time we will more than likely re-engage with you then to discuss adopting Akida into our next wave of designs, so thanks for showing us".
As I have mentioned before, it has been a steep learning curve going back to Lou's early days, and new guy Sean is getting a real taste of what it's like to bring "real disruptive" technology to bear, which I think I'd be correct in saying, he hasn't done throughout his career, happy to be corrected on that detail, this has been touted as bigger than the introduction of the internet.
Does anyone know if Peter met up with Bill Gates while he was travelling on the East Coast of Australia recently?
Have a relaxing evening.
