On
January 29, 2023, BrainChip announced that it has completed the design of its AKD1500 reference chip. On March 6, 2023, BrainChip announced the second generation of its Akida platform. BrainChip added support for 8-bit weights and activations, Vision Transformer (ViT) engine, and hardware support
