BRN Discussion Ongoing

[7für7]

Hmmm A disturbance in the Force in the forum, I sense. Much negative energy there is. Impatient and reckless, some have become. How criticize the work of your CEO you want, if not in his position you are? Think long-term, you must, have patience. Then, inner peace comes, and the balance of the Force returns. Calm, you must remain, young Padawan. Ready for the stock market, perhaps you are not. Hmmm

In the same vein ...

As a CEO, 2 years into a 5 year programme , a programme which is signed off by the board, I would only say 2024 was a "make or break" year for the company if I knew , for certain, it was a "make". Or else my 4th and 5th years may be looking a little tenuous.

Otherwise, you would hear me saying things like :
"2024 is the last of our foundation building years", or,
" 2024 will see us to continue to build on the ecosystem ".

...

I think you've nailed it here Quiltman. I feel the first 2 years of Sean's 5 year plan was always going to be the 'Foundation' years. This is where Brainchip will build a really solid base for their Ecosystem.

I'm thinking Sean and Board would have felt the early customers prior to Sean joining, would plan to get their products out from 2024, and this would be like a 'Transition' year.

I also feel customers who have decided on generation 2 instead of Akida 1000 has altered Sean's 5 year plan a little bit, as in some of the products set for around 2024/25 may now be pushed back a little bit. So 2025 could be a bit of a 'Transition' year as well.

Of course, there's always going to be little hiccups along the way with Sean's 5 year plan, but great to see he's still very upbeat on how things are tracking, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing what 2024 has in store

Where have all the adults gone?

Well said Harry. Common sense will surely prevail shortly, providing of course, the disbelievers, rethink their strategy and ( LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE ) that is building. Neuromorphic is the " Talk of the Town CURRENTLY " and WHO has " WHAT IT TAKES " in this space, and is currently the leader in this field of endeavor.

Now, as FF has probably uttered a few times, and I will, for the time being at any rate >>>>

BMW will introduce Level 3 autonomy to 7 Series next year​

• By Matt de Prez
• 13 November 2023

BMW is ready to deploy a new self-driving system to its 7 Series model that will allow drivers to watch films and send emails from behind the wheel.
The BMW Personal Pilot L3 system will be available in Germany, initially, on vehicles ordered from December.
It allows drivers to redirect their focus to other in-vehicle activities when travelling at up to 37mph, on motorways with structurally separated carriageways.

Symbols appear on the display behind the steering wheel as appropriate to indicate whether the BMW Personal Pilot L3 is available. It is activated and deactivated by a button on the steering wheel. When the function is being used, the customer still has to be ready to reassume the task of driving at any time.
The crucial difference between Level 2 and Level 3 is that with Level 2 (partially automated driving) responsibility continues to lie with the driver at all times. This is the case with Ford's BlueCruise system, the first of its kind to launch in the UK.
The benefit of hands-off driver assistance systems have been questioned by fleets, who fear the technology could also pose a risk to road safety

That's "Forwards & Down" nothing like backwards!!! Go back to school. The whole market must be following BRN as pretty much alot have done the same thing over the same time. I wonder what could mean?
Remember "FORWARD & DOWN".

 

[curlednoodles]

Is this a deliberate stir on your part or are you showing yourself to be a tad ignorant? Your comment is just silly in the context of what is understood about the time line to product royalties.. ‘no one is using Akida’ ? No one as yet (that we are aware of) has bought a product containing Akida IP. Our two licencees Renesas and Megachips have not officially released products, maybe soon? Megachips has a number of sublicensees that haven’t declared products yet. But hang on, we also potentially have Merc, Valeo, VVDN and Socionext going into production runs for products being released later this year or the next that probably contain Akida IP/Akida1500, ..but as you say the last quarterly shows that no one is currently using Akida so that’s a bit shocking isn’t it!

Not stirring, just frustrated with management. Perhaps "no one" was a tad dramatic, but so far, there seems to be very few users of Akida (that we know about). The 4c is our main indicator to tell if companies are using Akida, and so far, very few are based on the dismal revenue numbers. I have to keep faith that Brainchip are still progressing with implementation across the AI sector as I realise we need to wait for companies to work out how to implement this new tech into their products. Its a crucial stage for BRN as the competition is quickly closing the gap.

I mean, you said it yourself:
No one as yet (that we are aware of) has bought a product containing Akida IP.
Our two licencees Renesas and Megachips have not officially released products, maybe soon?
we also potentially have
probably contain Akida

Certainly not definitive language there..

From ROB ‘liking’ InnovizOne post re the concealed LiDar on the BMWs hitting the German streets J

To evidence that BMW have made inroads re AUTO driving for their series 7 vehicles out in 2024, obviously with their proudly concealed LiDar

https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/news/bmw-will-introduce-level-3-autonomy-to-7-series-next-year


BMW use Innoviz and InnovizTwo LiDAR shows up on Arm's Automotive Partner page as next generation Automotive grade LiDar.

Here

has offers the proof that InnovizOne LiDAR uses Arms Cortex-A57 and it is partnered with Renesas to build the Autonomous driving platform

https://www.rt-rk.com/deep-understa...-usage-of-imp-x5-accelerators-cve-and-cnn-ip/

We also know Renesas has had our IP License since dec 2021 (from memory)

then reminds us about how much better NVISO found their Neuro models performance when AKIDA was inside

Therefore it is not a far stretch to believe that because BMW is accessing InnovizOne or soon to be InnovizTwo for their new cars ‘concealed LiDar’ they may be getting the ALIDA IP through Renesas which is built into the ARM Cortex A57?

We already know AKIDA is available across all of ARM cortex products.



Another ubiquitous find IMO.







OH! and OMG

doesn't stop there, even though she was asked to, politely I may add.
She goes on to propose that If BMW love InnvizOne, or Two, for their LiDar, we have to wonder what aspect of Innoviz is QUALCOM raving on about J

https://innoviz.tech/blog/the-global-mobility-ecosystem-celebrates-with-innoviz-at-the-hq-opening

So let me get this straight.

Innoviz use AKIDA in their version two, new generation LiDar.

BMW use InnovizONE but why stay there when they could move to the NEXT GENERATION InnovizTwo that WE KNOW has AKIDA

Renesas use ARM Cortex and all ARM cortex devices support AKIDA, BMW use Renesas and InnoViz to build their Autonomous driving program.

Now Qualcomm are driven by a “shared desire to create safe and reliable and scalable solutions for ADAS with Innoviz”.



Then SnapDragon (Qualcomms pet) earmark Valeo as a LiDar leader and we know Valeo are a trusted Brainchip partner .



They are all in bed with AKIDA IMO



This is getting crazy, just need ONE contract to be declared with $ attached.



Please come this next quarter.

Sorry for the rehash of previously posted content but together they make a compelling reason to Buy pr Hold not sell BRN shares.

AWESOME work BRAVO

Hey AusEire,

Has the company actually grown???

In the last 2 end of year financials the company only grew from 66 to 69 employees. I have sent direct emails to Tony twice asking what the current head count is but received no reply! I asked at the AGM in question time 5 months ago and Sean said “I’m not sure the exact number but we’ve definitely grown” so I’m still not convinced. Obviously everything that we have been told suggests growth but to what expense? Are some branches of the company shrinking whilst others grow???

It’s a genuine question by the way. Does anybody here happen to know how many employees currently work for Brainchip?

Maybe somebody with some clout can email Tony and ask

Cheers

Most of the innoviz patents I've seen relate to use of MEMS mirror to scan the beam.

They don't do the processor.

Hi Ethinvestor

The company fundamentals have continued to improve and accrue unrealised shareholder value in my opinion.

It has been confirmed by the CEO Sean Hehir in person to myself and others that Brainchip has succeeded in developing and running a number of Large Language Models, LLMs, on AKIDA 2.0 and that AKIDA 3.0 is on track and that its primary purpose will be to focus on running LLM's as its point of technology difference.

It was confirmed by Sean Hehir CEO to myself and others that assuming there is no interruption to present planning AKIDA 3.0 will make an appearance next year. It is still anticipated that a demonstration AKIDA 2.0 chip will be produced. Presently sophisticated customers who have experience of the AKD1000 commercial chip have expressed confidence in their ability to assess AKIDA 2.0 based solely on the IP and all those who were referred to as being given early access at the beginning of 2023 are now engaged or engaged again with Brainchip assessing and discussing AKIDA 2.0 and the commercial opportunities.

I assume that you have seen the list of publicly acknowledged engagements with the AKD1000 chip which totals about 40 companies. Well with the assistance of the mathematical superstar Blind Freddie I have been able to calculate that as Sean Hehir said in his recent podcast that about 75% of current engagements are in respect of AKIDA 2.0 then the raw number of companies based on 40 companies being 25% of current engagements then this would mean 120 companies are engaged currently in respect of AKIDA 2.0.

Hopefully it is clear in the above paragraph that these numbers are based solely on the known AKD1000 engagements confirmed in writing by Tony Dawe a couple of months ago. Since that time there has been multiple confirmations by Brainchip employees that Brainchip's engagements includes companies that wish to remain anonymous but what we do know is that Rob Telson in a presentation in the last few months stated they have many hundreds of companies testing AKIDA technology via Brainchip's Boxes and Raspberry Pi offerings.

It was also confirmed by Sean Hehir CEO to myself and others that the cost to Brainchip of the first ever neuromorphic EDGE Box being produced and marketed by VVDN is not material. The sale price of the VVDN EDGE Box is expected to be very, very competitive and it will be aimed at retail and security applications. In retail a likely application will be stock control on shelves.

While Brainchip will have it as an offering on their website they will primarily be using it for sales purposes as it provides an opportunity to show a real world product being benchmarked against other in the market products from Nvidia and the like. It was also confirmed that Brainchip has a significant stockpile of the AKD1000 chips sufficient to meet any ongoing demand from VVDN for the EDGE Box and their own internal requirements to keep producing the Box and Raspberry Pi for customers to trial.

It was confirmed by Sean Hehir CEO to myself and others that the AKD1000 chip was definitely not a failure and that it is an extraordinary engineering and scientific achievement but that it was narrowly focused excluding many market opportunities which has been addressed by AKIDA 2.0 which is a creature of customer feedback and requests as they explored the possible use cases of AKD1000.

It was also confirmed by Sean Hehir CEO to myself and others that the partnership between Nvidia and Edge Impulse has significant flow on benefits to Brainchip in that it allows potential customers to directly port Nvidia software and models onto AKIDA technology greatly expanding the applications already created and provided in the AKIDA Model Zoo. There is absolutely no downside to this as far as Brainchip is concerned and in fact should encourage consideration of AKIDA technology once potential customers can see the advantages that accrue in using AKIDA over other offerings.

It was confirmed by Sean Hehir CEO that TENNS can be used with other technology and improve that technologies performance however to maximise its performance a customer would be advised to run it with AKIDA. (This confirmed Diogenes's suggestion that TENNS could find its own place in the market.)

It was also confirmed by Sean Hehir CEO to myself and others that they have not lost out to any competitor product during customer assessments and those customer engagements that have not proceeded have been as a result of issues within the target companies. One company they had won and expected to sign a contract with, overnight closed down its operation and laid off some thousands of workers.

It was also confirmed by Sean Hehir CEO, Geoff Carrick Director and Tony Dawe that all the publicly notified companies continue to engage with Brainchip.

As mentioned in my previous post it was confirmed by Sean Hehir CEO that they now have over 80 employees and expect to appoint the replacement for Chris Stevens shortly. Sean Hehir CEO stated that he is very pleased with the proposed appointment.

One further thing I would add of interest is that Sean Hehir also confirmed to myself and others that AKIDA technology has shown the ability to be applied for noise cancellation in headphones and hearing aids.

I should also add that this meeting took place on 6 November, 2023 in Sydney.

My opinion and recollection only but others may wish to confirm the accuracy of the above and remember to DYOR.

Regards
