BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Bravo]

A radical reinvention of the in-car audio experience called "MBUX Sound Drive."!!!!!!! Such a weird concept to think will.iI.am might know about Akida!

This really is music to my ears. No pun intended!

This marries up very nicely with a statement from Mercedes (discussed previously - see below) which indicated they have been working on neuromorphic 'systems' plural with BrainChip. Perhaps one of the plurals was this new audio system.

And also, you have to wonder, Mercedes were concerned enough over energy efficiency with the Vision EQXX and now with the new CLA Class they've thrown in every extra energy guzzling gizmo apart from the kitchen sink (ie.ChatGPT, the new gaming system, the new MBUX Sound drive, the new virtual assistant, etc) into it.

I wonder how they manage to process all of this additional data yet all the while keeping power consumption to a minimum? Hehehe!!!

Extract 1
“Working with California-based artificial intelligence experts BrainChip, Mercedes-Benz engineers developed systems based on BrainChip’s Akida hardware and software,” Mercedes noted in a statement describing the Vision EQXX.

HA! I'm sorry, but who on earth voluntarily pays subscription fees for such a silly magazine, knowing that it's a dumb publication? It's their own fault! Like seeing dogpoop in front of you, intentionally stepping in it, and then complaining that it stinks.

They save their good recs for the Subs that cost way bigger $$$'000's.
They don't waste their good recs on the chump change high churn subscriptions.

I'm sure we could boost their number of reviews?

Would appear HPE including neuromorphic now in there research lab intern roles.

From about 4 days ago.

Hewlett Packard Labs -- AI Research Lab Accelerators Group Research Associate Intern at Hewlett Packard Enterprise in Milpitas, California 1161436

www.talentify.io

The Artificial Intelligence Research Lab within Hewlett Packard Labs focuses on researching and developing technologies, architectures, hardware, and software to create cutting edge solutions in key areas of Deep Learning and Machine Learning. This is a unique opportunity to work at a start-up pace within a big company. We are looking for an entrepreneurial mind-set, and a deep passion to take a ML problem and conduct research and come up with a solution with a fast turnaround time. You will have an opportunity to work with Machine Learning experts who have made multiple successful products and will get guidance and coaching in different areas including software engineering, hardware optimizations, data pipelining, and innovations from latest AI research to bring hardened Deep Learning solutions to the real world.

The Emerging Accelerators Team in the Artificial Intelligence Research Lab has openings for Research Associate interns who are pursuing a PhD degree with a background in electrical engineering, computer engineering, physics, or related fields. The researcher will investigate high-performance accelerators which combine CMOS and emerging ReRAM device technologies (or memristors) for computing applications including network security, machine learning, neuromorphic computing, finite automata, and other novel computational models. The work can span a range of activities including the design of prototype systems and/or integrated circuits; invention of new architectures, circuits, and/or devices to take advantage of physical hardware systems for acceleration of target computations; the operation of existing hardware platforms; and performance evaluations with competing systems.

First off, I have a sense of humour, accept it for what it is.

Our staff on the other hand will be ramping our company's technology, products and potential possibilities between 9-12 Jan, and in fact
throughout the year.

1. Obviously any poster can post up or down comments, I don't control the narrative, but like many on this site we offer opinions, I personally
have no objection to negative comments IF they are based on fact, not emotionally charged looking for an argument.


2. Lets just deal with the facts as CES plays out, this event isn't going to seal multi-million dollar deals in this environment, that could take a
number of years, sorry to lower your expectations, but in answering your question, excuses are only issued when a commitment hasn't been
fulfilled generally speaking, has the company "promised" something that I'm not aware of ?

3. Haven't you learnt anything over the years that you've held this stock ? There is currently NO guarantee that any revenue or IP Licenses will
be delivered in 2024, as you already know I personally chose January 2025 to review my own holding, I would like to see IP Licenses and revenue
start to commence during the next 4 quarters, as product cycles for some EAP's must be awfully close to maturing.

4. Is there a reason why major funds are increasing their holding in Brainchip stock ?
Brainchip isn't going away anytime soon, we have zero debt, solid funding, proven technology and NO CUSTOMERS according to you, while
I will concede I receive a few messages from posters privately from this forum who are frustrated with the lack of product, IP License deals and revenue, I do agree that the time frame has been a lot longer than many of us had initially envisaged, but through being educated by Antonio
and others within the industry we have hopefully learnt that 2/4 years appears to be "normal" from start to finish.

Finally, I'm comfortable holding at present, and see absolutely no change in my view...regards Tech

Hey Tech.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but 18~24 months ago I'm sure you said 2024 is the year you expect things to happen. Maybe I'm mistaken....
Do love your comments on behalf of Brainchip.......

Just wanted to put in my 2 bob up ramp. CES aside which at the very least will further extend our tentacles into the "ecosystem", this year we WILL get some descent revenue. Big call I know but it is our year! Next year will be recapitulation, cementation and growth... our time is now!!!! lets go brainchip yeah!
(Pure speculation)

MATE......PASS IT AROUND BROTHER......OPEN THE WINDOWS......Im with ya

PDU
Did you buy a facial recognition version. The reason I ask is we have all seen the image detection at edge Akida can do with no connectivity. So was wondering if this was not tethered to a data device if it could be Akida inside. If on the other hand you need to connect via wifi and have your home computer or phone establish the facial metrics and the door needs to check back each time then it’s just old tech.

Needed to be connected to my internet that’s all I know

Unfortunately wrong logo and company.
The blurb it links to if you click on it notes Virpi Pennanen, CEO of NVISO Group and that is the Nviso group we are all aware of.
The Nviso.eu is a totally different company of which Virpi Pennanen is not CEO.

I have emailed JPR communications so hopefully that is the correct person to fix the error.

Funnily enough, this lady’s name just popped up in my Google search on Fortinet, a Silicon Valley-headquartered cybersecurity company with a global presence that develops and sells security solutions like firewalls, endpoint security and intrusion detection systems. They recently introduced Fortinet Advisor, their Generative AI Assistant. Reading a headline about that announcement is how I stumbled upon them.

No indication that we are involved, but certainly an intriguing second degree connection via the Australia-based CEO of NVISO Group Ltd (the company’s new name after restructuring), who left Fortinet less than a year ago and on very friendly terms, it seems, judging from her colleagues’ LinkedIn comments responding to her “Today is officially my last day with Fortinet” post.

Worth to keep an eye on…

(Odd though, that as Fortinet’s Sales Director for Southern Region in Australia Virpi Pennanen had been in charge of NT (!) and seemingly all of WA, not only its southern half?)

It would be nice if the learning was AKIDA.
Also the spiking would be good if it also was from AKIDA.

Unfortunately, Renesas linked with PlumerAi on the RA MCU and M85.

However, drawing a long bow, as not really read up on PlumerAi, was the Renesas tape out for a 3rd party as I read it and the subsequent BRN update about Akida being able to work with the M85 part of this....hmmmm, I wish

Thankfully I personally don't mix electronics and drive

'sfunny - the old engineers who were there on the cusp of the changeover from valves to transistors would always caution the young engineers not to mix valves and transistors ... not that I ever met one who was tempted to, what with the difference in operating voltages - but that was well before the days of 0.5.

Even at 0.8, you could still have a few drinks and still drive. In fact I was a much better driver at 0.8 than I ever was at 0.5.
