BRN Discussion Ongoing

AND NOW FROM THE

“VALEO BRAIN DIVISION”
https://www.valeo.com/en/brain-division/

“The emergence of software-defined vehicles (SDV) marks a significant paradigm shift that is reshaping traditional automotive frameworks. Our Valeo Brain Division is actively engaged in this transformation. By accelerating in driving automation with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and reinventing the interior experience, we are leveraging opportunities offered by the new electric/electronic architectures inherent to the SDV.

Our solutions enhance the safety and enjoyment of driving by using a broad spectrum of sensor technologies (ultrasonic sensors, cameras, thermal imaging, and medium to long-range radars, as well as LiDAR), computing units acting like “brains” (ranging from Zone Controllers and Domain Controllers to Central Computing Units), as well as the software itself with advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI).


To reinvent the interior experience, we develop technology in the field of human-machine interface and vehicle cabin monitoring that improves safety, and that also creates a comfortable cocoon-like interior, offering passengers a personalized, interactive and secure experience.

Lastly, connectivity is key in the SDV transformation. Valeo Brain Division’s solutions offer the high-speed, low-latency connectivity required for state-of-the-art driving automation and interior experience.”


Quite an interesting name given to this new to me Division at Valeo

Extremely interesting 👍🏻 by Fergus Longbottom, who works as a software engineer in Space Domain Awareness / Remote Sensing for Canberra-based Electro Optic Systems (EOS):

EOS also have subsidiaries in the US (https://www.eosdsusa.com/) and NZ (https://kiwistaroptics.com/).

And as you can see, it is not the first time Fergus Longbottom has liked BrainChip or BrainChip-related posts… Which of course doesn’t necessarily mean that he is working with Akida at EOS, but it’s definitely good to know someone in the company is very much aware of us, if not more…

I noticed our company’s latest LinkedIn post about Akida PointNet++ got yet another vote of approval (this time even a ♥️) from Fergus Longbottom, who works as a Software Engineer in Space Domain Awareness/Remote Sensing for Canberra-headquartered Electro Optic Systems (EOS).

(Note that there seems to be a timeout issue with their homepage https://eos-aus.com at the moment, but in my two earlier posts tagged above you can see screenshots of that website taken in June).

I don’t recall ever having come across this Akida IP webpage before, although the Akida 1 IP and Akida 2 IP Brochures are not exactly brandnew and were apparently uploaded sometime in April, shortly before the launch of the redesigned BRN website.

Using the 🔍 search function here on TSE didn’t yield any results for me either, but then again I kept on getting the message “The following words were not included in your search because they are too short, too long, or too common…”, so it’s a bit hard to tell whether or not this has been posted before.
A good overview in any case…

Hate that there is a 4 day lag on short positions........

Still.. will be interesting to see what the positions were two days ago...

Shorts for Thursday 2nd... 78,530,026....

None of that matters unless you are a daytrader. Most of us are longs. We need news with revenue, anything else dosent really matter

If you say so....

I mean, it's kinda weird that this SP jump has happened around a non country wide public holiday and there seems to have been a delay in reporting of the short positions. Oh....and we suddenly have 103 million shares traded in a day ......

Hmmm.....

My bad I guess....

Nothing to see here....

Any Akidaholics meeting the below eligibility criteria interested in NASA’s Beyond the Algorithm Challenge that was launched today?

One of the nine finalist teams of NASA’s Beyond the Algorithm: Novel Computing Architectures for Flood Analysis Challenge, consisting of four Columbia University Computer Science students, submitted a solution they named NEO-FLOOD:

“This paper introduces NEO-FLOOD (Neuromorphic Onboard Flood-mapping), a satellite architecture that eliminates this latency by deploying autonomous AI directly in orbit. NEO-FLOOD integrates space-validated neuromorphic processors (Intel Loihi 2, BrainChip Akida) consuming just 2-5W with our novel Spike2Former-Flood algorithm-a spiking neural network optimized for real-time optical SAR fusion onboard small satellites.”

Five weeks ago, I posted about a quartet of Columbia computer science students who had submitted a proposal named NEO-FLOOD for NASA’s Beyond the Algorithm Challenge (launched in March 👆🏻).

“This paper introduces NEO-FLOOD (Neuromorphic Onboard Flood-mapping), a satellite architecture that eliminates this latency by deploying autonomous AI directly in orbit. NEO-FLOOD integrates space-validated neuromorphic processors (Intel Loihi 2, BrainChip Akida) consuming just 2-5W with our novel Spike2Former-Flood algorithm-a spiking neural network optimized for real-time optical SAR fusion onboard small satellites.”

The four young researchers had been picked as one of nine finalist teams who competed against each other at a live pitch event on 17 September, where they presented their ideas to a panel of judges, NASA experts and venture capitalists.

Three winners were chosen, each team being awarded a $100,000 prize!
Among them the NEO-FLOOD team that also won the Audience Favourite Award!

Now it is on to Phase 3:

“In Phase Three, winners will be invited to attend a "Funding 101" webinar course. Additionally, winners will be contacted 12 months after Pitch Event completion for follow up surveys on further challenge research development and implementation.”

Neuronova, one of our potential future analog competitors in the sub-1µW realm (note that not every customer requires on-chip learning), just launched their new website:

Anyone else notice over the last few weeks the regular down dampers have been very positive with the company. Either they know something about our next quarterly or we in for a cap raise again soon and lDA are trying to get the best price they cant before the big dump. Massive amount of shares traded so can it be the normal pump and dump.

Nonsense Pom!
We will see multiple deal announcements!

Morning Pom,

I'm not expecting anything out of the ordinary in the quarterly. Provided all is well with the AFRL contract, it should be solid. As for LDA, a call could be on the cards. Looking at the Tech Roadmap, we are taping out AKD 2 in Q1 of 2026 and also the FPGA of AKD 3 in Q2 so some extra cash on hand can only be a good thing. We just need the BoD to not stuff it up this time (no anns about Anil's holdings from 2 yrs ago or anything about redomiciling.)

If we announce multiple new contracts over the 3 months of a call on LDA the SP will be fine. Come on Sean......

Days to Christmas - 77

:unsure:

Days to Diwali - 11

The company must be looking at a raise sooner than later with the LDA agreement back in Feb for 40 million shares @ probably 0.21 cents a share is just over 8 million raised. So time will tell I guess, but like you said a few deals worth $$$$ will change everything 🙏
