Abstract
This paper reviews applications of stochastic computing in brainware LSI (BLSI) for visual information processing. Stochastic computing exploits random bit streams, realizing the area-efficient hardware of complicated functions, such as multiplication and tanh functions in comparison with binary computation. Using stochastic computing, we implement the hardware of several physiological models of the primary visual cortex of brains, where these models require such the complicated functions. Our vision BLSIs are implemented using Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) 65 nm CMOS process and discussed with traditional fixed-point implementations in terms of hardware performance and computation accuracy. In addition, an analog-to-stochastic converter is designed using CMOS and magnetic tunnel junctions that exhibit probabilistic switching behaviors for area/energy-efficient signal conversions to stochastic bit streams.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
