Kaspersky Neuromorphic Platform (KNP)

Kaspersky Neuromorphic Platform is an open source software platform designed to explore pulsed neural networks and create commercial products based on them.

2025: Opening Access

Siberian developers "Motive NT" have published open source code for the development of pulse neural networks, their training and use. This will test new capabilities of artificial intelligence for solving a large range of problems. This was announced on January 15, 2025 by representatives of "Motive NT."

The KNP platform consists of a package of programs and an AltAI neuromorphic processor emulator, which allow you to conduct applied research and implement solutions for recognizing and analyzing information coming from digital and analog devices (images, sound, 3D models and tactile data). Based on technologies, it is possible to create systems that can self-learn in real time and adapt to new conditions according to the principles of the neural networks of the brain.

The neuromorphic machine learning technologies that underlie KNP belong to the field of advanced development, which will be in demand in the production sector (predictive analytics), robotics, human-machine interaction (VR/AR, speech interfaces, speech recognition) and unmanned transport. Open access to the platform will speed up the process of studying and practically using the capabilities of artificial intelligence.

The demand for computing systems that has arisen in recent years, including due to the emergence of large language models (LLM), leads to an increase in the cost of training neural networks with classical methods and the need to find energy-efficient technologies.

The platform runs on a neuromorphic AltAI processor that balances performance, power consumption and device size. The power consumption of AltAI chips is at least a thousand times less than that of classic neural network accelerators. This is a fundamentally important moment for the development of artificial intelligence technologies and the microelectronics market in Russia. For January 2025, we are completing the development of the third generation processor and are preparing to manufacture its pilot batch, said Valery Kangler, technical director of Motive NT.
