Enabling Ultra-Low Power Edge Inference and On-Device Learning with Akida​

Date: Tuesday, May 23
Start Time: 16:50
End Time: 17:20

The AIoT industry is expected to reach $1T by 2030—but that will happen only if edge devices rapidly become more intelligent. In this presentation, we’ll show how BrainChip’s Akida IP solution enables improved edge ML accuracy and on-device learning with extreme energy efficiency. Akida is a fully digital, neuromorphic, event-based AI engine that offers unique on-device learning abilities, minimizing the need for cloud retraining. We will demonstrate Akida’s compelling performance and extreme energy efficiency on complex models and explain how Akida executes spatial-temporal convolutions using innovative handling of 3D and 1D data. We’ll also show how Akida supports low-power implementation of vision transformers, and we’ll introduce the Akida developer ecosystem, which enables both AI experts and newcomers to quickly deploy disruptive edge AI applications that weren’t possible before.

Ok - thanks to the feedback provided by the community, it has provided me with an idea to combat 'bad actors' who report.

I do acknowledge that there is a potential problem whereby the 'peers' judging you are the trolls.

So, I have now included a measure of a users standing within the community. If that users exceeds a reasonable threshold of poor community standing, they no longer have the ability to report posts outright.

Is this like a Chinese social credit score?

You're doing a great job with the forum Zee. I'd rather read the squabbles on the forum re. Moderation that read the shit that gets posted everyday in the bad place.

It’s been a while since Manny resigned but it’s my understanding instead of taking the shares owed at the time there was a handshake deal he could take them later although I can’t recall the circumstances now but it was quite logical at the time. They then lapsed. I wish I could recall the specific circumstances to properly convey what occurred back then but I don’t have FF’s memory.

When it came to returning the shares owed to Manny as per their agreement at the time it was realised that technically they couldn’t be re-vested to him without shareholders consent: hence this vote to authorise it.

Given there was an agreement to re-vest them to him at the time I think it’s only fair to honour the agreement. As well as it being the right thing to do it also shows the company will look after their staff.

The other side of the coin is that if the shares aren’t returned then I imagine it will be pursued through the courts in which case it will likely cost more and tarnish Brainchip’s reputation as being a company of choice for future employees.

I see a NO vote as a vote of no confidence in management. Rather than scent-marking, there is an alternative to a NO vote if a shareholder should feel they have insufficient information, and that is to abstain.

 

[Diogenese]

I have to admit that I‘m not very knowledgeable about licensing IP and so on. But I remember some statements (I think it was Sean Hehir) that they are awaiting some more patents to be granted.

And I wonder if you are a company planning to sell chips or sublicenses in the markets/countries the potentially granted patents apply to, maybe they are just waiting for these grants to materialize.

I‘m assuming that they might need to wait as long to de-risk their investment in Brainchip licenses. Could this be part of the reason for the current silence regarding additional license sales?

As stated at the beginning, this is not my area of expertise and I would like to hear the opinion of someone who knows more than me.

Btw thx a lot for this great platform and all the informative and funny contributions. I like it a lot.

Patents can take a few years to grant after filing. While it would be prudent to wait for a patent application to be filed before negotiating, it is unlikely that IP licence negotiations would be delayed for grant.
The Akida IP licence includes rights to use the circuit layout rights (the masks defining the silicon layers), configuration software, model libraries, confidential information, as well as the patents.

Some users get very repetitive to listen to and keeps harping about lack of information. In my view it's essentially not in the spirit of the 1000 eyes, that loves a good treasure hunt for information and in that way keeping an information advantage over the general market.

So, now I'm going to test out this "Ignore" function and see how well it works to clean up the feed:

Thanks I might give that a go too.

If you log in online to vote. Both Sean and Peter are separate.

Ive cast my vote and had my say.. i recommend everyone do the same

Thanks for the info. I'll check online.

 

[jtardif999]

Maybe the question to ask in regard to management performance is would we be scrutinising it so heavily if the share price were still above a $1? I personally think not.. The company (under Sean’s guidance) imo has put in place the drivers for incredible growth in the longer term. Growth that will be perpetual once it starts for real. I don’t think we should allow external factors outside of the company’s control which have influenced the direction of the share price muddy our view of managements performance.

I don't understand your comments "instead of taking the shares owed at the time there was a handshake deal he could take them later ". Manny was not owed shares. Like any other option holder, he had the right but not the obligation to pay the exercise price by the expiry date and convert his options to shares. If he chose not to exercise his options, why is this our problem? How is he owed shares by the company?

I wonder how long others will take to come up with a product when it took Renesas around 2 - 3 years after signing the contract back in 2020...

If the EAPs are taking several years to make the decision to sign IP contract (when Renesas made that decision years ago), I wonder how long it will take for them to come up with a product...(if they ever sign)

Yep, but I do not think they would have produced a chip based on AKIDA 1000.
They waited for the improved AKIDA 1500 to be released which was more recent.
From memory AKIDA 1000 was the 1st release which BRN said was the market tester?

Hi Zeeb0t. Thank you for looking at this again for us.

Obviously there are some issues with the recent implementation of the measures you have taken to safeguard this forum for all of us.
I realise that you have a lot on your plate and again wish to thank you for providing this forum for us all to enjoy and profit from.

I am glad to hear that it requires a minimum of 5 complaints before action is taken on any particular post but wonder if any weight or consideration is applied to the "likes", " hearts", "fire" emoji's that are also bestowed upon said posts?
Surely these "votes" have a similar value as clicking the "report" icon?

Perhaps we are mature enough here to contemplate the incorporation of a thumbs down icon whereby it is possible to show public displeasure at any particular post or sentiment expressed. At the moment the closest we can go towards that is to express sadness.

I think we are close to a satisfactory solution that may just involve a little detuning of the hair trigger and desensitisation of the application of what is currently being condemned as profanity, personal abuse, baiting and flaming and interpretations of what is confrontational and aggressive behaviour. In the posts where I have been accused of such things I have been flabbergasted at these reactions.
Much is seeming to be banned on these lines when in fact the intent behind their use was humour, sarcasm or irony as a way of making a point.
Without these subtle tools it can all become too dry and brittle.

I am glad to see that you are open and aware of the potentialities of throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

Thank you again Zeeb0t.
We are grateful to you for creating this safe place for us all and appreciate your efforts in allowing it to evolve, incorporating the feedback of its users.

Sad faces, thumbs down, grumpy faces, broken hearts and middle finger, could have a place on the opposite side of the poster's post?

Fire could have a place on both sides, potentially having a dual meaning..
Not sure how you'ld differentiate that one though ..

Sometimes I give someone a "burn" icon, but I think they think I liked their post..

@ZeebOt?..

For now I’ve already addressed this idea. It would be used to negate the effect entirely and we are back where we were.

I just want to point out that it seems like my change has been effective because I’ve not seen a flurry of reporting of posts anymore.

Is everyone just happy tonight? Maybe. We will see over the next few weeks.

No. All it does is use some rather simple metrics to determine who will not have access to a feature. It’s no different in this respect to using the same kinds of metrics to decide who isn’t allowed to post anymore, and so on.

Listen, honestly, this is getting all a bit much now. Either we have rules and they are enforced and I take reasonable measures to make sure it is fair and effective… or, we have no rules at all.

The forum clearly votes for having rules (it’s why we are arguably all here in the first instance) and I won’t be dissuaded into removing simple and (so far) effective measures for taking a small amount of people away from a single feature, which has resulted in a much fairer use now, from what I see.
