And the drone manufacturer DJI is already using something akin to a deep-learning ASIC in its Phantom 4 drone, which uses a special visual-processing chip made by California-based Movidius to recognize obstructions. (Movidius is yet another neural-network company recently acquired by Intel.)
Wow, this is just so wrong. The Movidius Myriad chip that's used by DJI is not an ASIC. It's a programmable vision co-processor. It was not designed for running neural nets. Movidius is based in Ireland, not California. They are not a "neural network company".
WTH is a "neural network company" anyway?

- dekhn 10y agoThe Myriad is an ASIC: http://www.movidius.com/technology http://www.movidius.com/technology Myriad was Ireland-founded but is currently based in San Mateo. They really meant "machine learning company" not "neural network". But the other two facts are correct.
- nickpsecurity 10y ago"WTH is a "neural network company" anyway?" A company specializing in anything having to do with neural networks. Before the deep learning craze, that was many companies making tools for designing/debugging them, developing ASIC's to accelerate them, further developing the tech if a R&D outlet, or applying them to industrial problems. The number of things such groups might be doing has only expanded with the recent leaps in the technology.
