2025 BrainChip Discussion, page-26

I suppose one could conclude that MB were still working on neuromorphic with Akida through pretty much all of 2024

  For my master's thesis at Mercedes-Benz AG, I conducted an in-depth analysis of frameworks and strategies for converting neural networks (NN) into spiking neural networks (SNN) for neuromorphic processors. The project involved evaluating SDKs for neuromorphic hardware like BrainChip Akida, Intel Loihi, and SynSense to assess their compatibility, functionality, and performance. Using frameworks such as MetaTF, Lava, and Sinabs, I translated the PilotNet model into SNNs and analyzed their practical feasibility, documenting challenges and conducting performance evaluations based on metrics like MSE and accuracy. This work also explored the use of neuromorphic processors as accelerators for neural networks, identifying hurdles and proposing solutions to optimize translation processes.
