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.
