“Not for long”

For me that implies that he believes they are going to overtake us and be the new leader?!

Hi Tech,

I think your reasoning holds water.

It should be part of a BRN investor's continuing DD to maintain an ongoing evaluation of the competition's comparative advantages, and, so far, the thousand eyes have not blinked.

Some of the pretenders have gained a commercial toehold due to the commercial availability of physical chips, but. at any level of implementation, a degree of technical expertise is required, whether it be;

installing a PCIe board in a PC, (hobbyist);

incorporating a SNN chip into a PCB, (system designer);

incorporating Akida IP into an IC SoC, (IC designer).

Even the edge box will require some degree of competence above plain PC user capability.

And the rapid development of AI technology means that what is developed today was obsolete yesterday.

“And the rapid development of AI technology means that what is developed today was obsolete yesterday”

I think that this definitely applies in the Von Neumann sphere but as for the adoption of technology that departs from Von Neumann it’s a slow boat to China (not actually China). The world has been running on Von Neumann for the last 75+ years and changing things up is a bigger task than anyone thought. Developing within the current paradigm is always occurring and yes developing something that becomes obsolete before it is on the shelf happens a lot. Changing the baseline technology however hasn’t happened until Akida et al came along. AIMO.

The comments in your screenshot appear to be incorrectly arranged, in my opinion.

This is how it looks Like and makes more sense

Nope, I just logged in and checked and got the same picture as AARONASX.

Anyway we don't know much about this company and their homepage don't really saying much.

Their technology might be very good and on par with BRN but they are minimum a few years behind IMO.

Ok I agree in terms of we don’t know much about the company and so on….but why you say no?😂 I just send a screenshot literally showing what my screen shows.. its 50/50 if you will.

Maybe chapman can bring us some clarification🤷🏻‍♂️

These guys may be fantastic, but this is likely just a tongue-in-cheek comment to drum up discussion.
To Indulge them; If it was so easy Brainchip would be tripping over all the new IP contracts
Its also not like Brainchip has just been sitting on their hands waiting around expecting success to come to them.

Reasons why Brainchip are still in the lead by 3-5 years:
  • No patents in Brainchip's way, but plenty for these guys
  • 3+ years for the design to become reality
    • 2019 Socionext Design began, 2021 Complete Engineering Validation, 2022 full commercial availability
  • Brainchip employs some of the most successful tech-sector executives and staff, with attractive remuneration packages
  • Brainchip has encountered and navigated any headwinds in that period, including market adaption and labour shortages
  • Brainchip's sale teams have expanded both in size and global reach
  • Brainchip can strike immediately if new use cases are found
  • Brainchip offers a suite of Edge products for testing
  • Brainchip has already secured important partnerships with massive industry players
  • Brainchip is publicly listed with funding for as long as required through standing agreements
  • Brainchip has already secured 2 licenses, with their expected revenue to begin flowing as early as this year
    • The IP model makes for nearly 100% margin once engineered
  • Brainchip has already entered into, and maintained 100+ NDA's
  • Brainchip has lost 0 engagements, apart from project cancellations as a whole
  • Akida is Space-ready, including Radiation Hardening
  • Akida is EAR99 classified, allowing Brainchip to sell globally without US pre-approval
  • Through Edge Impulse, Akida is ready to be trained using existing models built for CPU/GPU's form giants like NVIDIA
  • Brainchip has already secured foundry slots in case clients like VVDN sell high qualities of Edge boxes
    • Sean has said he hopes they will dry up the existing AKD1000 stock and will need to order more.
  • Anything else I've forgotten

Reasons why the lead could degrade quickly
  • Edge Ai market was immature, this could change quicker than expected
  • New/better technology created
I know who I will keep my money on.

I 100% agree with you, you need to take everyone together. That is the reason brainchip change their direction strategically.
To me starts with departure of LDN and since then company is focusing on ecosystem than sales. We make technology compatible with existing technologies, and what a transformation it is and so quickly and such a small budget.
We are coming out a winner in the space and every space organisation is looking towards us.
I assume brainchip is understanding the limitations of thinking alone and we are becoming part of world order than to create at our own. So to me it is the best strategy as a start up.

Hi Aaron,

CyberSwarm are a Romanian company.

Their web description of their technology is couched in future tense.

They use phase-change MemRistors.

Their earliest patent dates from 2017. On interesting feature is that their circuits are transparent, which means they have the potential to be overlaid on a display, but I'm not sure why you'd want to have your processor circuitry exposed like that, but then, I was born in the last millennium.

US2023360701A1 PROGRAMMABLE RESISTIVE MEMORY ELEMENT AND A METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME
20180611

1713144059815.png

A programmable resistive memory element and a method of adjusting a resistance of a programmable resistive memory element are provided. The programmable resistive memory element includes at least one resistive memory element. Each resistive memory element includes an Indium-Gallium-Zinc-Oxide (IGZO) resistive layer, a first electrical contact and a second electrical contact. The first and second electrical contacts are disposed on the IGZO resistive layer in the same plane. The programmable resistive memory element includes a voltage generator coupled to the first and second electrical contacts, constructed and arranged to apply a thermal treatment to the resistive memory element to adjust a resistance of the resistive memory element.

[0002] Programmable resistive memory elements can store information as different resistance states. For increasing memory density and data capacity, it is highly desirable to have a programmable memory with multiple resistance states. Programmable resistive memory elements with multiple resistance states can be used in many applications like nonvolatile solid state memories, programmable logic, pattern recognition, etc.


US11386953B2 Multiple memory states device and method of making same 20181023


1713144483752.png



A phase-change material based resistive memory contains a resistive layer and two electrical contacts. After fabrication the memory is subjected to thermal treatment which initiates a transition toward a crystalline state favoring in this way the subsequent obtaining of a large number of resistive memory states.

EP3584749A1 SYNAPSE ARRAY 20180611

1713145436657.png



A synapse crossbar array device is provided. The synapse crossbar array device includes a plurality of Indium-Gallium-Zinc-Oxide (IGZO) thin film transistors (TFTs) and a plurality of IGZO resistive synapses. Each IGZO resistive synapse includes a IGZO resistive layer, a first electrical contact electrically coupled to one of the plurality of IGZO TFTs and a second electrical contact electrically connected to one of a plurality of column connection lines. The first electrical contact and the second electrical contact of each IGZO resistive synapse are disposed on the IGZO resistive layer of the resistive synapse. The synapse crossbar array device includes IGZO resistive synapses that have, each of them, an established resistance value. The synapse crossbar array may be fully transparent and may be integrated into the displays with which portable devices are provided

After watching this video of Mihai Raneti discussing Cyberswarm, I feel very much re-assured that they pose no immediate threat to us.

As far as presentations go, this would have to be one of the worst I have encountered. Sadly, Mihai's forte does not appear to lie in the realms of public speaking. On at least two occasions he describes Samsung and Intel as " small companies"????

Anyway if you can challenge yourself to watch the whole video you'll find, apart from losing 20 odd minutes of your precious life that you will never be able to get back, that the device they are working on is some sot of analogue memristor device that is supposed to emulate an ants brain. It doesn't sound like they're anywhere near commercialisation but this video was taken in 2022, so maybe they have made advancements since then.

I have posted the below video snippet (TURN THE VOLUME RIGHT UP) to commence with Mihai saying "shit" under his breath. I'm not too sure why but presumably he wasn't looking forward to answering any questions. Anyway, he eventually goes on to answer the question saying something along these lines "We have this thing here. Its' already been working. We don't know why. But that's a re-current event in our office. We have things that are working and we don't have any kind of idea why they're working." 🥴

Oh, and then he goes on to say "We have some ideas of what we're going to do but we're sure that 90% of the solutions are going to come from you", which I can only imagine came as quite a surprise to the unsuspecting audience members.

Yeah, so I for one am not at all concerned and can only thank the gods that we have someone as confident and self-assured as Sean representing us on the world stage.

Is anyone else picking up on the fact that his response to @chapman89 was "not for long" basically admitting that we are indeed in the lead of all others..........

That is telling, more than anything else imo

Sounds like a would be if he could be......fake news in my opinion...

What else could Mihai Raneti, of Cyberswarm say?

There are many companies, that should probably just throw in the towel, but they will continue, until they get beaten down.

We ourselves, have always been the underdog, but we are rising up.
