Agreed. Plus, I doubt the companies using Numenta's sdk want it advertised that they are using it.

If you have not tried their sdk, I highly recommend it. It is open source(not free though). You can play around with it for free but if you want to use it commercially you need to pay.

I have taken a look at the website. Apart from hype there is nothing that I have seen that makes me want to use it for any AI (which I do a lot of commercially).

How does it compare to other architectures? What sort of problems does it excel on? Where are it's weaknesses? What is the training like compared to other methods?

I wouldn't really take them seriously until a paper is linked to from their front page explaining the above. At the moment it just looks like hype.

Are we still talking about Numenta? Their website links to several papers that address all of your questions:

Yes we are talking about numenta.

Unfortunately the three (why aren't there more?) independent papers didn't use HTM, and certainly don't answer all my questions.
