Evening Bravo & Pom ,

Tizz a intriguing wager .

Pom ,

You do realise 50,000 Bucks is alot of animals.

To put it into alittle perspective ,

One fully laiden Road Train with triple trailers, double decks , could probably carry 144 animals= 24 animals per deck = 48 per trailer x 3= 144 animals per train.

50,000 animals requires minimum 347 Road Trains & 1, 041 Trailers/ double deckers.

Never mind rustling the 50,000 animals.

RTA, Road Trains of Australia could not do this lift in one shot

Bravo,

Hope you have several thousand hectares to put them on,
Otherwise the hay bill will be crippling.




*Many moons ago I witnessed the single biggest lift of cattle off a property in a single day , at that time in history.

Went up in the chopper & Road Trains , lined up ,litteraly went for kilometres down the driveway.

Truely a sight to have witnessed.

This wager could well be more exiting than watching BRN.

Regards,
Esq.



Noah to Esq.....

Timing is everything in investing.

With Brainchip I suspect most here had not recognized nor were prepared for the lengthy time it has taken this marvelous technology to convert to the heretofore elusive tech powerhouse.

That said recent developments have rekindled my optimism. I am less worried that I will succumb before Brainchip delivers more than just despair. And to better understand my particular viewpoint.... my 80th is this month.

So with the onrush of senility I purchased 1k shares of BCHPY (the ADR) just today.

Recognize me for my prescience later...or if more appropriate forget that I posted this......as I surely will.

I think it's "always" a good time for an announcement, Gazdix! 😛

But with US markets now even healthier than ever and the US to continue to strengthen, they may just have their "Golden Age" which will bolster Western business in general.


We all know how hard and fast, BrainChip can move, when given a hard whip and sticking those spurs in, so sharpen them up!

This tough Stallion, is far from being sent to the glue factory, being processed into dog food, or "mislabeled" as prime cuts of aged beef!




(All analogies are for illustrative purposes only, I don't condone the use of pain to get results, although maybe that might work on Sean 🤔.. Or the consumption of dog food, unless you're Caninely inclined)...

🤔...
A friend of mine lost so much on BRN he had to eat dog food. That's all he could afford. He died 2 weeks ago. He was sitting in the middle of the road licking his balls and was hit by a truck.

“It is gratifying to see Renesas harness the performance and reliability of TSMC 22ULL embedded MRAM technology to deliver outstanding results for its RA8P1 devices,” said Chien-Hsin Lee, Senior Director of Specialty Technology Business Development at TSMC. “As TSMC continues to advance our embedded non-volatile memory (eNVM) technologies, we look forward to strengthening our long-standing collaboration with Renesas to drive innovation in future groundbreaking devices.”

Robust, Optimized Peripheral Set for AI​

Renesas has integrated dedicated peripherals, ample memory and advanced security to address Voice and Vision AI and Real-time Analytics applications. For vision AI, a 16-bit camera interface (CEU) is included that supports sensors up to 5 megapixels, enabling camera and demanding Vision AI applications. A separate MIPI CSI-2 interface offers a low pin-count interface with two lanes, each up to 720Mbps. In addition, multiple audio interfaces including I2S and PDM support microphone inputs for voice AI applications.
The RA8P1 offers both on-chip and external memory options for efficient, low latency neural network processing. The MCU includes 2MB SRAM for storing intermediate activations or graphics framebuffers. 1MB of on-chip MRAM is also available for application code and storage of model weights or graphics assets. High-speed external memory interfaces are available for larger models. SIP options with 4 or 8 MB of external flash in a single package are also available for more demanding AI applications.

New RUHMI Framework​

Along with the RA8P1 MCUs, Renesas has introduced RUHMI (Renesas Unified Heterogenous Model Integration), a comprehensive framework for MCUs and MPUs. RUHMI offers efficient AI deployment of the latest neural network models in a framework agnostic manner. It enables model optimization, quantization, graph compilation and conversion, and generates efficient source code. RUHMI provides native support for machine-learning AI frameworks such as TensorFlow Lite, Pytorch & ONNX. It also provides the necessary tools, APIs, code-generator, and runtime needed to deploy a pre-trained neural network, including ready-to-use application examples and models optimized for RA8P1. RUHMI is integrated with Renesas’s own e2Studio IDE to allow seamless AI development. This integration will facilitate a common development platform for MCUs and MPUs.

Advanced Security Features​

The RA8P1 MCUs provide leading-edge security for critical applications. The new Renesas Security IP (RSIP-E50D) includes numerous cryptographic accelerators, including CHACHA20, Ed25519, NIST ECC curves up to 521 bits, enhanced RSA up to 4K, SHA2 and SHA3. In concert with Arm TrustZone®, this provides a comprehensive and fully integrated secure element-like functionality. The new MCUs also provides strong hardware Root-of-Trust and Secure Boot with First Stage Bootloader (FSBL) in immutable storage. XSPI interfaces with decryption-on-the-fly (DOTF) allow encrypted code images to be stored in external flash and decrypted on the fly as it is securely transferred to the MCU for execution.

Elon Musk-Backed Neuralink and BrainChip Turn Sci-Fi Into Profit. You Can Buy BrainChip​


Annika Masrani
Annika MasraniJul 01, 2025, 09:45 PM
Neuralink is wiring computers into the human brain. BrainChip is wiring the brain’s logic into computers. They are building the same future from opposite directions. One is a moonshot in medicine. The other is a processor you can buy today.

Elon Musk-Backed Neuralink and BrainChip Turn Sci-Fi Into Profit. You Can Buy BrainChip


One company is connecting machines to human thought. The other is building machines that think like humans. Welcome to the brain-tech era, and yes, you can invest in part of it.


It sounds like the start of a movie, but it’s very real. While Neuralink is focused on creating interfaces that link the human brain directly to computers, BrainChip is designing processors that mimic the brain itself. One is surgically embedded into people. The other is being plugged into machines across defense, robotics, and edge computing. Together, they offer two sides of the same future, a future where intelligence is no longer bound by biology or silicon alone.


Neuralink Pushes Thought-Controlled Tech into Human Trials



Neuralink, founded by Elon Musk, is building brain–computer interfaces designed to let people control devices with pure thought. In early 2024, the company successfully implanted its device into a human patient. That patient was able to play online chess without using a keyboard, mouse, or controller, just brain activity.


The company’s short-term goal is to restore basic communication and motor control to people with paralysis. Musk has said Neuralink aims to give humans a way to keep pace with artificial intelligence. It is a mission that borders on transhumanism, but Neuralink is already conducting human trials and has FDA clearance.


Despite its media attention, Neuralink is not a public company. It is privately held, and unless you’re a venture capital fund or one of Musk’s inner circle, you’re not getting a piece of it, at least not yet.


BrainChip Builds Neuromorphic Chips That Mimic the Brain



If Neuralink wants to read your thoughts, BrainChip wants to think like them. BrainChip Holdings (AU:BRN) BRCHF +14.79% ▲ , listed on the Australian Securities Exchange under the ticker BRN, builds neuromorphic processors. These are chips designed to process information in the same way biological neurons do. The company’s flagship chip, called Akida, doesn’t just run AI models — it learns directly on the device. This allows machines to make decisions locally, instantly, and with very little power.


Unlike cloud-dependent systems that need massive servers and constant connectivity, Akida enables real-time intelligence on the edge. It is already being tested in radar systems, smart sensors, robotics, and surveillance equipment. Akida ships in a compact M.2 format, making it easy to integrate into real-world devices that need fast, efficient, on-site intelligence.


While BrainChip is still pre-revenue in many respects, and operating at a loss, it remains one of the only public companies purely focused on brain-inspired computing. Investors who want exposure to neuromorphic technology do not have many other options. Larger companies like Intel INTC +2.01% ▲ or IBM IBM -1.21% ▼ are exploring similar technologies, but BrainChip is one of the few focused entirely on the architecture of intelligence itself.



Two Companies Take Different Paths Toward the Same Goal



Neuralink and BrainChip are working toward the same long-term goal. One is trying to bring computers closer to the brain. The other is bringing the brain’s function into computers. Neuralink is medical, invasive, and currently reserved for extreme use cases. BrainChip is commercial, software-driven, and already in field testing.


Both companies are part of a broader shift, a world in which intelligence is not exclusive to living organisms, and cognition itself becomes programmable. This may not be the full sci-fi reality of uploading consciousness, but it is clearly the first step.


BrainChip Offers Public Investors a Direct Play on Sci-Fi Tech



Neuralink may be the more provocative story, but it is off-limits to retail investors. BrainChip, by contrast, is trading on the open market. While it is not without risk, and certainly not profitable yet, it offers a rare entry point into a technology sector that is years ahead of the mainstream.


BrainChip is not marketing fantasy. Its processors are being deployed in real scenarios, including defense and industrial use cases. If the neuromorphic field matures, and BrainChip manages to land significant design wins, its stock could reprice dramatically. For now, it remains a speculative but pure exposure to the silicon side of brain-tech.


Is BrainChip a Buy?



Investors considering BrainChip should note that while the company is building ambitious, sci-fi-grade technology, the fundamentals are still catching up. TipRanks’ AI Stock Analysis tool gives BrainChip Holdings a rating of 39 and labels it Underperform. This score is driven by persistent losses, negative cash flow, and a bearish technical outlook, compounded by a negative P/E ratio.


While no traditional Wall Street analysts currently cover BrainChip, TipRanks offers an AI-generated Stock Analysis tool, making it one of the few tools providing insight into emerging, thinly-covered tech plays like this one. The AI model highlights significant valuation risk and weak momentum, information retail investors should weigh against the company’s long-term narrative.

BrainChip’s biggest edge? It’s not just building chips and TENN's—it’s building a full-stack Edge AI platform that’s ready for deployment today.
We need to maintain our leadership position.
We used to see a comparison table as a slide in presentations showing us clearly as superior.
I guess now we just have to ask AI for a comparison against rivals.

Ooooh...I wonder if CNRT will come to NASA's rescue?

As we all know, the CyberNeuro-RT (CNRT) product, developed by Quantum Ventura in collaboration with Lockheed Martin and Pennsylvania State University, it is an AI/ML-driven, real-time network defense cybersecurity solution. CNRT utilizes BrainChip's Akida processor.

Lockheed Martin also has substantial involvement in NASA's programs.

Regarding the development of cybersecurity solutions for NASA's space systems, while specific collaborations between Lockheed Martin and NASA on cybersecurity are not publicly detailed, Lockheed Martin's emphasis on cybersecurity in its space division suggests a focus on protecting space infrastructure. Maria Demaree, a Lockheed Martin executive, has highlighted the importance of cybersecurity in space systems, indicating the company's commitment to this area (see article below).

Both Lockheed Martin and NASA are partners of BrainChip, so it's quite plausible IMO that NASA could consider deploying CNRT to enhance cybersecurity in their space systems in future, assuming a product hits the market soon.

Speaking of plausibility, how plausible is it that BrainChip's Akida neuromorphic processor could be integrated into Valeo's Smart Safety 360 (VSS360) system, particularly in components like radars and ultrasonic sensors?

Remembering that in 2020, BrainChip and Valeo entered into a joint development agreement to incorporate Akida into advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicle platforms.

The VSS360 system's components haven't been publicly disclosed, but the system's reliance on real-time processing of data from various sensors appears to align well with Akida's capabilities. Akida's event-based processing and support for TENNs enable efficient handling of spatiotemporal data, making it suitable for applications like radars and ultrasonic sensors requiring low-latency and low-power consumption.

Production of the system is set to begin in 2026.

This is great news 😆
Is it?
How?
Underperform!

In finance, underperform signifies a stock's anticipated performance being lower than that of its peers, its sector average, or a relevant market index. It's essentially a negative outlook given by financial analysts, suggesting the stock is likely to lag behind in returns. This contrasts with an "outperform" or "buy" rating, and doesn't necessarily mean a stock will decline, but rather that its gains will be less than expected.

If they don't secure any IP deals during the remainder of the year (we just passed the 1/2 way mark) it's not good, and I will start getting worried.

Surprisingly quiet from Sean, the podcasts have stopped. Okay, that's not necessarily a negative because you can only make so many backslapping ones before people will say, okay very nice, but where are the deals?
Edit, one just came out now, well, well, LOL!

I think many investors are like me, we would really like to see some deals!

There was a post today about Renesas and I can't see anything Akida in their new MCU's?


The 2 IP deals that BRN secured must be running out, nothing came from them as far as I know.

The Renesas IP deal was the first BRN ever secured back in December 2020!

Sean it's your turn now, come on!

Hmmmmm...This news could be very promising for BrainChip.

RTX (formerly Raytheon Technologies) and Shield AI are partnering to develop autonomous drone and counter-drone technologies. Their focus is on autonomous battlefield awareness and AI-driven flight for contested environments. Autonomous edge processing is implied, even if not named explicitly.

The systems aim to be fast, reactive, and capable of operating without GPS or direct human control, leveraging AI onboard to make split-second decisions.

While BrainChip is not named in the RTX–Shield AI press release, the existing collaboration between BrainChip and Raytheon makes them a potential contributor IMO, especially if radar, electronic warfare, or on-device classification features are prioritized.

Given the Akida roadmap (including 3.0 and TENNs), BrainChip may have a pretty unique value proposition for any RTX counter-drone system that needs rapid, lightweight inference at the edge.

Shield AI employs its proprietary autonomy software, Hivemind, to enable edge processing capabilities in its autonomous systems. They have also developed EdgeOS, a modular, real-time autonomy middleware built for edge deployment. But Akida could potentially be integrated as a specialised co-processor to enhance perception or energy efficiency in subsystems within Shield AI-enabled drones or other Raytheon autonomous systems. At least this is what ChatGPT seems to think, for what it's worth.




Question : Does this mean that Hivemind and EdgeOS performs the same sorts of functions that Brainchip's tech could offer, therefore making it less likely for it to be incorporated, despite Raytheon and Brainchip's existing partnership?

🎯 Does This Make BrainChip Redundant?​


Not necessarily. Here's why:

  1. Complementary Use Case:
    Hivemind still needs to process sensor data efficiently. Akida could slot in before or alongside Hivemind to preprocess radar, sonar, or audio data — especially where power, latency, or size constraints exist.
  2. Mission-Specific Hardware:
    If Raytheon (or the DoD) is building smaller, lower-power drones or missile-based defense systems, Akida would be an ideal embedded neural inference engine, compared to larger, power-hungry GPU-based systems.
  3. Specialized Processing:
    Akida excels in micro-Doppler radar analysis, gesture recognition, audio classification, biosignal monitoring, and anomaly detection — tasks that could offload or accelerate parts of Hivemind.
  4. Raytheon Relationship:
    BrainChip already partners with Raytheon (for CyberNeuRT), which increases the probability of reuse or scaling Akida across Raytheon’s broader edge-AI architecture — possibly even complementing Shield AI’s stack.



🤖 Bottom Line​


  • Yes, Hivemind + EdgeOS provide many capabilities traditionally performed by software on CPUs/GPUs at the edge.
  • No, this does not eliminate the value of BrainChip — it just means BrainChip would need to be adopted as a specialized co-processor (not the whole stack).
  • Likely scenario: Akida could be integrated to enhance perception or energy efficiency in subsystems within Shield AI-enabled drones or other Raytheon autonomous systems.

Is it?
How?
Underperform!

In finance, underperform signifies a stock's anticipated performance being lower than that of its peers, its sector average, or a relevant market index. It's essentially a negative outlook given by financial analysts, suggesting the stock is likely to lag behind in returns. This contrasts with an "outperform" or "buy" rating, and doesn't necessarily mean a stock will decline, but rather that its gains will be less than expected.

If they don't secure any IP deals during the remainder of the year (we just passed the 1/2 way mark) it's not good, and I will start getting worried.

Surprisingly quiet from Sean, the podcasts have stopped. Okay, that's not necessarily a negative because you can only make so many backslapping ones before people will say, okay very nice, but where are the deals?
Edit, one just came out now, well, well, LOL!

I think many investors are like me, we would really like to see some deals!

There was a post today about Renesas and I can't see anything Akida in their new MCU's?


The 2 IP deals that BRN secured must be running out, nothing came from them as far as I know.

The Renesas IP deal was the first BRN ever secured back in December 2020!

Sean it's your turn now, come on!

Face value being in the same sentence as Elon is imo great news even tho it hasn't $$$$$ attached yet. We are heading north like a turtle but we're moving.
