I'll throw their name out there then.

Maybe it is dead, maybe stalled, maybe they are still working on NN models and latest iterations of Akida.

i posted the below back at the end of Feb elsewhere and we know that he did evaluation work with Ford on Intel and Akida over the past couple of years, maybe some others, and if so, doesn't spell them out though.

When he finished his evaluation work isn't indicated either. 2021, 22, 23?

i don't see anything about Intel being thrown around yet either. Possibly no decisions made as yet.



Just finished with them in Dec and now gone into AI consulting. Hopefully takes his Akida & MetaTF learning with him to whoever he consults for next
