  EP 226 - Neuromorphic for LLMs on the Edge

  Sep 30, 202541 minS0

  <p>In this episode, we spoke with Sean Hehir, CEO, and Jonathan Tapson, Chief Development Officer, of BrainChip about neuromorphic computing for edge AI. We covered why event-based processing and sparsity let devices skip 99% of useless sensor data, why joules per inference is a more honest metric than TOPS, how PPA (power, performance, area) guides on-device design, and what it will take to run a compact billion-parameter LLM entirely on device.</p> <p>We also discussed practical use cases like seizure-prediction eyewear, drones for beach safety, and efficiency upgrades in vehicles, plus BrainChip's adoption path via MetaTF and its IP-licensing...
