BrainChip AKD1500 Raspberry Pi 5 Dev Kit BrainChip's $1,295 Neuromorphic AI Kit Is a Raspberry Pi 5 You Could Build for About $340

BrainChip has launched the AKD1500 Raspberry Pi 5 Dev Kit, a ready-to-run box for trying its Akida neuromorphic AI accelerator, priced at $1,295. Inside the metal case is a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8 GB of RAM, the official Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ and an AKD1500 M.2 card. Neuromorphic chips process data as sparse events, closer to how neurons fire, instead of crunching every value in every frame,…

Nordic nRF71 Series Chip Development Board Nordic's New nRF71 Chip Claims 20x Lower Wi-Fi Standby Power, and Adds an NPU for Edge AI

Wi-Fi is usually the first thing to drain a battery-powered gadget, which is why most low-power sensors use Bluetooth LE or Thread instead. Nordic Semiconductor wants to change that with the nRF71 Series, a single chip that combines Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth LE and Thread with its own processors and, on one version, an NPU for edge AI. Nordic claims up to 20 times lower standby power than its current…

Jim Bruges Arduino Project Hub Cover Image Arduino's 16 GB VENTUNO Q Runs a 744-Billion-Parameter AI Model From an SSD, and It Took 7 Minutes to Name Three Planets

Large language models with hundreds of billions of parameters normally live in data centres, on servers with far more memory than any single-board computer. So it is a surprise to see one answer a question on an Arduino. In a project published on Arduino Project Hub, Jim Bruges ran GLM-5.3, a 744-billion-parameter model whose files take up about 419 GB, on an Arduino VENTUNO Q with just 16 GB…
