BRN Discussion Ongoing

[DingoBorat]

Monday will be brutal IMO
Nvidia down 10% last nite
Nasdaq Dow 2%

Not necessarily..

The broader market was up, due mainly to Israel's muted response to Iran's "unprovoked" attack in my opinion.

The ASX will be generally up on Monday, except on any further developments, between Israel and Iran, over the weekend.

The general ASX, has more influence (as mainly influenced by the DOW, than the NASDAQ) on BRN.

BrainChip isn't following any particular market, in my opinion, but general market conditions of course still matter.

Excellent post...thank you.

Many would have noticed how our share price has started it's usual, slow, possibly deliberate slide south again.
An never ending cycle, why many would be asking ?

• Q1 4C results due within the next 6 business days.
• LDA Capital off-loading their recent allocated shares.
• Geo-Political mounting issues.
• Worldwide Economic headwinds.
• Robotic manipulation attempting to trigger "stop-loss" positions...i.e. 0.35....0.30....0.25

I personally feel that all within the company would agree that the journey to revenue has been a slower process than hoped, some
could go as far as saying, our 'real' business journey didn't really commence until Sean joined the company, meaning, considering
everything that has been put in place over the last 2.5 years, it's taken 5.

Remember I have been banging on about Digimarc Corporation for at least 4 years now, just check out the latest X feed posted on
the company website, it possibly sends a little subtle message in my opinion.

It was sooo subtle, that I missed it Tech..
Unless the link didn't work properly for me..

Do you mind screenshotting, what you're talking about and using a big highlighter, so it's a little less "subtle"

This is great to see, but haven't we been doing "keyword spotting" in demonstrations, for a couple of years now?

How many years you ask?

Yeah, about 2..

Here's a LinkedIn post from Cerence two days ago about Mercedes "wake-up word".

If Mercedes do continue working with Cerence in the future, doesn't that by default mean we'll eventually be working with them together (likewise with all the other companies that have technology intertwined in the Mercedes infotainment/voice control side of things such as OpenAI's 'sChatGPT, Apple Car Play, Google Maps).?

After-all Magnus Ostberg's confirmed in his Linkedin post from a month ago, that Mercedes are determined to be the first to use neuromorphic computing in the automotive industry.

Ahhhhh, remember good ol' the days when every second word that I uttered was "Cerence".

The thing that I hear time and time again of late is that the stumbling block to adoption is there’s not enough programming for sparsity and algorithms for running SNN models available atm, yet Akida provides a CNN2SNN conversion tool with the ADE allowing any CNN model and data already collected to run in the sparsity of Akida’s SNN framework. I don’t get that there should be that many hurdles in getting Akida to be adopted, to me BrainChip have taken care of that and I don’t understand why it is still being talked about ..unless the reference is for Neuromorphic chips in general and not just Akida. AIMO.

yes - but it suits some of the big boys to spread doubt until they can catch up - even as they slide further behind.

I know. Don't they know we all need to be rich cause we've got a bit of "embedding" we'd like to be getting on with, whilst we still can?

I meant if it is new in the twitter profile.

50% up would make me happy for a day or two and then never going down again and slowly moving up every day (like 1% each day) would be great. Digimarc Corporation could do all this for us. They even work in Germany already for Netto (4300 supermarkets in Germany!) and its plastic recycling as well as hidden marks on each Netto private label on the shelf.

Just imagine Akida in every recycling machine all over the world , but starting with Germany would be fine too.
This certainly would make me sleep with a constant smile every night

Great post, yep we are in with Mercedes. It's a sure thing other autos are looking at AKIDA as well. No one wants to get left to far behind.

I doubt it. I can't find a connection.
I hope not, it is better to have two customers than just one

Absolutely agree - Tony Lewis was an excellent choice as CTO, as he is so well connected and respected in the neuromorphic community!

I recall Ralph Etienne-Cummings referring to him in another Brains & Machines podcast. The two of them go back a long way, by the way…

Just some examples:

When posting about the recent Brains & Machines podcast with Amirezza Yousefzadah, one of my comments was:

Sounds like we can finally expect a future podcast episode featuring someone from BrainChip?

Bingo! So at the time the podcast with Elisa Donati was recorded, Sunny Bains was planning to meet up with our CTO before or after NICE 2024, which means sometime next week! Let’s keep our fingers crossed that this prospective visit of hers will work out and lead to an intriguing podcast episode…

TSMC Will Have An AI Business Bigger Than All Of Intel Foundry

Everyone is in a big hurry to get the latest and greatest GPU accelerators to build generative AI platforms. Those who can’t get GPUs, or have custom

www.nextplatform.com

TSMC has been very clear that the N3 node will be a very important volume product for a long time, and it is interesting that Nvidia chose to not use it when Apple did for its smartphone chips and both AMD and Intel are going to with their future CPUs. Apple is reportedly eating all of TSMC’s N3 capacity for its homegrown, Arm-based smartphone and Mac PC processors. It looks to us like Nvidia is hanging back on the N3 process as Apple helps TSMC work out the kinks in this somewhat troublesome 3 nanometer process, and we assume that Apple will also be in the driver’s seat with TSMC’s N2 2 nanometer nanosheet transistor process, which will be seeing real competition from a credible 18A process from Intel Foundry in 2025. But TSMC has been clear that it think its enhanced 3 nanometer process, called N3P, will be able to go up against Intel’s 18A.



The rumor is that most of the $15 billion in advanced bookings over many years that Intel Foundry has on the books are for Arm server chips and AI training and inference chips that Microsoft is building for its own use and for that of partner OpenAI. And with national security flag waving as well as the practicalities of needing a second source for chip suppliers among all chip designers, we think that Intel might be low-balling its aspirations of having $15 billion a year in external foundry revenues by 2030, and we can see the internal Intel product groups for chips in PCs and servers to drive maybe $25 billion in additional foundry revenues. That’s $40 billion, and who knows how profitable Intel Foundry will be.

Media Alert: BrainChip Highlights the 2nd Generation Akida at tinyML Summit 2024

LAGUNA HILLS, Calif., April 18, 2024--Media Alert: BrainChip Highlights the 2nd Generation Akida at tinyML Summit 2024

au.finance.yahoo.com

"BrainChip leads the market in Neuromorphic IP, which allows our customers to build very low energy AI devices at the edge.

Neuromorphic technology excels at the edge where most workloads are streaming workloads where each individual frame of data is highly correlated with the previous," said Tony Lewis, CTO of BrainChip.

"We can take advantage of these correlations to dramatically reduce our power requirements. In contrast, cloud-based AI has evolved an ecosystem of hardware optimized for non-correlated workloads.

We feel that we will have an advantage over other companies who merely try to enable cloud computation at the edge. At the edge, you have to rethink hardware from the ground up. This is what BrainChip has done."

Nice one.

So since they are showcasing as quote:

At the summit, Chris Jones, Senior Product Manager at BrainChip, will present Akida’s enhanced features, including the ability to learn efficiently on extremely small form factor devices, head pose and emotion classification, all done in real-time without cloud connectivity. Company executives will be on hand to offer a presentation and demonstrate the attributes of some of the sustainable and efficient AI solutions leveraging the Akida IP.
As part of its exhibition, BrainChip will showcase their latest iteration of Akida technology that enables more advanced, more capable, and more accurate AI. In combining NVISO Group AI Human Behavioral Software and BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic compute, the resulting system monitors the state of the users through real-time perception and observation of head and body pose, eye tracking and gaze, as well as indicates emotion reasoning.

Does that mean that they have a real Gen2 chip(s) at hand for the presentation or merely simulating?
