Hi rob,Hey Damo, defiantly not directed at you - I have zero personal issues with anyone on this forum, most of you I don't know, and those of you who I have met in person are fantastic people. I was simply responding to a post.
I want to respond to your post accurately, so I'm going to break it down by sentence.
In my honest opinion, there is a disconnect between SP and the outlook of the company.
Six months ago and I'd have agreed with you, now, I think we are probably appropriately priced. Every passing day without commercial adoption (and lets be clear - that's all that matters here. Partnerships, podcasts, scientific articles, new hires, Robs likes on LinkedIn all mean nothing if nobody buys our product) diminishes the value of this company (in my opinion of course). AKD1000 has been available for over two years', and call it a test chip if you like (and that another story as this isn't what the company sold it to us as initially), but it was sold to two clients, so obviously there was potential for it to be sold to more - why wasn't it?.. We've seen articles and "evidence" being posted here for the four years' that I've been a shareholder, so why haven't any of the referenced signed a contract? By means of example - We've seen multiple phone and device releases by the big two over that period, so that completely null and voids the argument of development time. We're apparently at the start of an Artificial Intelligence revolution, we have a working chip, ready for sale, better and cheaper than any of the largest semiconductor companies have got, and we cant sell it? It's beginning to feel like there's no appetite for it.
I don't believe we are looking like we are 'done.' If I did, I would have sold.
I actually said that without commercial take up we're done, obviously we have sufficient operating capital for the coming months, but what happens when that runs out? Investors aren't going to keep throwing good money at it without a return. Without being patronising - look at the chart! If it continues on this trajectory for another 18 months without further commercial contracts and revenue then I'll stand by that statement.
There are plenty of companies on the ASX that have peaked and failed, and this is looking very similar right now. Its not good.
I think it would be insanity to believe this company is destined for failure but still hold on. Unless you believe we will be pumped back to a level in which you can exit with most or more than your money in hand? All prior to the apparent inevitable collapse?
TBH there's many people here who would sell out at or around their avg price which is so silly too, but to each their own.
I believe we are at a defining moment in the companies history, and the tires need to touch the tarmac. I've been bullshitted time and time again by company representatives (to my face) telling me that they're extremely positive about the coming months, etc., only to be let down by a fucking partnership or some other insignificant news. Contracts and revenue are needed, and they are needed very soon, but I'm questioning whether we have a team that are up to it, assuming that the chip is as good as its said to be.
I have a significant number of shares. Nobody wants this company to succeed more than I do. I've read and read, and researched and read and have weighed up this investment against others, and this is my current outlook. Its mine, and everyone is entitles to their own. I see high level posters stating with fact that the future is rosy and big things are coming, but (and in response to your question a couple of days ago @Rise from the ashes, this is me calling out the bullshit) they don't know what will happen in the future and they have no guarantees that management turn this company into a success.
To answer your questions about why, I can only trust what management have to say.
Unfortunately I don't know more about Brainchip than them, so I don't believe its prudent to reject their responses.
If we can't trust them when they speak of the position they are in now, why have so many held onto single sentences from Sean regarding watching the financials, or lumpy revenue?
Sean has said a lot of things, as have the rest of them, but the proof is in the pudding and as i mentioned previously, nothing has transpired.
TBH I can see why management is tight-lipped, everyone here expects them to crystal-ball revenue figures and IP contracts and then try to crucify them when they miss.
I don't think that's fair. They need to do better with shareholder engagement and have more transparency. The podcasts tell us nothing, but elude us to believe a future where Akida runs the world, but in reality we're a microcap again, with no real world adoption and a declining SP.
I'm no stranger to making my concerns vocal (and yes, I understand that rubs a lot of you up the wrong way), but I'm a genuine shareholder with genuine concerns that I cant seem to get a proper answer to:
- What is the status of the EAP participants?
- How many companies are Brainchip currently engaged with?
- What is the sector distribution of these engagement?
- How advanced are these engagements?
They aren't hard questions, and don't specifically break any non-disclosure agreements as there is nothing specific in them.
"The share price will do what the share price will do" - This about sums up how few fucks management actually give about company shareholders.
They need to do better.
Just on SiFive D.Hi rob,
I usually don't respond to what might be called would-be Cassandras, but you have taken some time to elucidate your thoughts.
I thought that when I bought in 5 years ago, the SP was about to explode because the company was giving a geeks presentation in the US, and I still believe the SP is about to explode. It's just taken a bit longer, or maybe it's a slow explosion ...
Starting with your 4 questions:
a response to Q1 would be the sort of thing for which the ASX would demand further and better particulars, which would put us in conflict with all the NDAs, a la Ford;
Similarly for Q2;
Q3 is reasonable, but I think this has been answered with the degree of specificity allowable under the NDAs - automotive, health, mechanical maintenance, aerospace, ... . As I said 5 years ago, it would be easier to list the areas where Akida cannot be used (it's a very short list).
Q4, see Q1.
Taking your example of mobile phones, the development cycle is several years, so, while we missed the recent releases and those shortly upcoming, there is nothing to suggest we are not being considered for future releases. Our association with Prophesee gives us a strong link into the process, especially given Synsense's admission of its low level applicability.
Remember BRN is on a steep learning curve. We need to discover what our customers need, and they don't know because they don't know how revolutionary Akida is. Last year we were talking about the recently invented LSTM functionality for "attention", and now we have bypassed that for ViT/TeNNs in Akida 2. This is not to say Akida 1 is obsolete. We have developed Akida 1500, which is Akida 1 el cheapo, or at least stripped of the ARM Cortex processor, available from 2 nodes (8 NPUs ) up to 20 nodes, whether you want an always-on wake-word watching device, a vibration monitor, or a full video processing chip.
The IP licensing business is a long haul project, much longer than selling chips.
You know that Renesas and Megachips are bringing out processors incorporating Akida 1. Renesas has its own in-house DRP-AI but has found applications where Akida is more relevant.
I find it encouraging to remember:
Prophesee loves us;
nViso loves us;
NASA is a fan;
Mercedes is impressed;
Valeo is a partner;
we are compatible with all ARM processors;
SiFive, ARM's up and coming rival, is also a partner;
...
It is true that the company has had a few major business model changes, and this has inevitably shifted expectations. We've been a software company, a chip company, and now an IP licensing company. Software provides only a pale shadow of Akida's capabilities. Chips would have produced a quicker return, but again, without maximizing the benefits of the Akida design. Would we produce different sizes for different applications. Putting all our eggs in the IP licensing basket makes it a harder sell because of the up-front costs to the customer. But I am trusting that the superior performance of Akida will win over customers like Mercedes, and partners like Prophesee and SiFive, and marquee clients like NASA/DoD/DoE (DOE - that's right, we do do cybresecurity too).
The SP is down now, but within a few (short?) months ...

Think you may have to direct that message to another few dozen posters.Dear Nigerian Prince.
Please deposit all your deep and meaningful share price posts into this thread (https://thestockexchange.com.au/thr...d-the-fugly-and-general-concern.139152/unread). They will be received well there as opposed to here.
Thanks.

Everybody keeps forgetting VALEO, Brainchip in my opinion is behind Scala3 which has already taken more than $1 billion euros in pre orders, and that was at the back end of last year, so maybe they’ve taken more pre orders?
Regardless, scala3 is hitting the market at the end of this year/very early 2024 in 2024 model vehicles.
Who here remembers the Valeo premier back in 2021? I certainly do. If you need a refresher, watch the video again.
Also, as @Diogenese can attest, automotive takes 3 years minimum, we (Brainchip) have a joint development with Valeo where we get paid on undisclosed milestones, that was announced back in June 2020.
I’ve posted this before, but on the CTO of Valeo interview post on LinkedIn about 2 months ago, I asked if they’ve achieved Scala3 by neuromorphic, this was the response I got from a Valeo employee below.

It is happening, believe it, we will get paid and that will be a recurring income and will only grow as Scala3 becomes standard for even more vehicles.
Of course my opinion but based on the facts out there, who else can supply Valeo with their neuromorphic IP?? There is nobody. We’ve been through this before!

Do we have the capability to also be in the X280 cores mix possibly?Just on SiFive D.
We know NASA has also been looking at the X280.
I noticed on that recent presentation table that the X280 is also slated for 2025 with the RISC-V cores TBD.

Given we are also on the table stand alone and also have the SiFive relationship, do we have the capability to also be in the X280 cores mix possibly?

I'll add my $0.02 to this excellent response.As far as Akida is concerned, the configuration of the NN determining the number of layers and in allocating NPUs to each layer, and the determination of the weights from the model library are the functions carried out by the CPU preliminary to using the NN to classify input signal spikes.
For CPU based SNNs, the programme includes instructions to compare the model library imges and the incoming signals.

Phil Dworsky, Global Head of Strategic Alliances, SiFive“Through our collaboration with BrainChip, we are enabling the combination of SiFive’s RISC-V processor IP portfolio and BrainChip’s 2nd generation Akida neuromorophic IP to provide a power-efficient, high capability solution for AI processing on the Edge,” said Phil Dworsky, Global Head of Strategic Alliances at SiFive. “Deeply embedded applications can benefit from the combination of compact SiFive Essential™ processors with BrainChip’s Akida-E, efficient processors; more complex applications including object detection, robotics, and more can take advantage of SiFive X280 Intelligence™ AI Dataflow Processors tightly integrated with BrainChip’s Akida-S or Akida-P neural processors.”
A lot of shareholders that have been holding BRN shares for years and years have been patiently waiting for these next 9 months. These are the championship rounds. No time for the wobbles now. Can’t understand the efforts some are making to try and convince others that they should be worried.
