It really shows the dedication, determination, and sheer brilliance of PvdM, Anil & the crew.

First business plan was to licence the IP, but no one, none of the big boys who wer trying to crack this nut, were brave enough to buy it and try to implement it.

Plan A was a failure.

Nothing daunted, PvdM and Anil set about designing the Akida SNN SoC a task beyoned the capabilities and imagination of IBM, Intel etc., to prove what they knew was not merely possible but doable. leaving the big boys chasing their self-laid red herring tracks.

They had a FPGA and Akida Development Environment software simulator built and sent to potential customers for testing.

Then they designed SoC Akida version 1 and had engineering samples made and sent to EAP clients.

More feedback - more development - CNN2SNN, a nose-ring to lead the experts in neural networks from their comfort zone to the nirvana of SNN.

And now Plan A is doable.
