Update from Onsor re NEXA glasses. Looking at their timeline, they may just be waiting on patent approval.
Interesting, considering I received this reply from them a few weeks ago....

Didn't mean to offend Peter in anyway about the donation of shares. The fact that it was done in a way that impacted other shareholders is what I was trying to point out.Next time you decide to make nasty comments about Peter and his kindness in donating funds to research projects here in Perth or anyway else that involves research into finding cures to wipe out horrible diseases that effect millions of humans who never got an even break like you or me in life, well, take a good hard look at yourself, the words greed, self-centred come to mind.
You also forget, who was the one who created the technology in the first place, the individual that you invested in, the individual who is still the number one shareholder, the one who also sits on the board, the one who leads our SAB, the one who challenges Sean and holds him to account, stop with your selfish, narcissistic comments, if you actually hold Brainchip shares, well I'm pleased for you, but honestly your comments directed somewhat to our founder are offensive, and yes, he does view this site from time to time, so show a little bit more respect please.
Thanks Tech (Perth)
All I can say to your comments is as Sean said recently “watch us now”I can’t help feeling a bit disenchanted.
The fact that the company is now allocating SPP funds to continue Akida 2 development and prepare for potential silicon deployment suggests they’re no longer concerned about “competing with customers,” which was the original reason Sean gave for not taping it out themselves.
I realise this doesn’t necessarily mean there’s zero interest - the neuromorphic market is still nascent, and many OEMs prefer to see actual silicon before committing. But it does seem to imply that no customer has taken up a licence strong enough to move Akida 2 into production.
It makes me wonder whether this was a significant misstep, and whether the path to Akida 2 commercialisation has now become unnecessarily protracted as a result.
I genuinely hope you’re right and that there is a solid basis for Sean’s upbeat comments about expected revenue in his recent interview.
But as far as I can tell, revenue can only come from new licences being signed. There are no royalties yet (at least none that we’re aware of), and the first revenue from Akida 1500 won’t arrive until the initial batch of 73,000 chips hits the market in 2027, unless I'm either mistaken or missing something.
Don't mean to be a Debbie Downer, but my optimism appears to be on annual leave at the moment...

What does that
Has anyone asked Sean directly? I’m not going to email him again as he is a busy man.What does that mean though?
Hi bravo,Hi Pope,
I don't think it's funny.
Historically a lot of pope's were liars and loads of women died because of them.
Plenty of popes bent the truth, and it was women who paid for it with their lives.
One of the ARCHYTAS project partners is Politecnico di Milano, whose neuromorphic researchers Paolo Lunghi and Stefano Silvestrini have experimented with AKD1000 in collaboration with Gabriele Meoni, Dominik Dold, Alexander Hadjiivanov and Dario Izzo from the ESA-ESTEC (European Space Research and Technology Centre) Advanced Concepts Team in Noordwijk, the Netherlands*, as evidenced by the conference paper below, presented at the 75th International Astronautical Congress in October 2024:
*(Gabriele Meoni and Dominik Dold have since left the ACT)
“A preliminary successful demonstration is given for the BrainChip Akida AKD1000 neuromorphic processor. Benchmark SNN models, both latency and rate based, exhibited a minimal loss in accuracy, compared with their ANN coun- terparts, with significantly lower (from −50 % to −80 %) EMAC per inference, making SNN of extreme interest for applications limited in power and energy typical of the space environment, especially considering that an even greater improvement (with respect to standard ANN running on traditional hardware) in energy consumption can be expected with SNN when implemented on actual neuromorphic devices. A research effort is still needed, especially in the search of new architectures and training methods capable to fully exploit SNN peculiarities.”
The work was funded by the European Space Agency (contract number: 4000135881/21/NL/GLC/my) in the framework of the Ariadna research program.

Hi @Fullmoonfever,
while this ESA-funded paper was indeed published on arXiv.org only a few days ago, it appears to be a revised version of a conference paper presented at the 75th International Astronautical Congress (IAC), Milan, Italy, 14-18 October 2024 rather than novel research.
The deadline for IAC 2024 paper submissions was originally 28 February 2024
(https://www.iafastro.org/news/submit-your-abstract-for-iac-2024-by-28-february.html), and was later extended by about a week. Which obviously means the research involving AKD1000 referred to in that paper submitted by the six co-authors from Politecnico di Milano and ESA to IAC 2024 must have been conducted even earlier.
Although the papers’ titles don’t match, the connection between those two papers becomes apparent when you compare the section underlined in green of the newly released paper you shared today…

Also note that both papers refer to the exact same contract number for the ESA funding, which was awarded in the framework of the Ariadna research program: 4000135881/21/NL/GLC/my
Another hint that this research involving AKD1000 must have been conducted quite a while ago is the fact that co-authors Dominik Dold and Alexander Hajiivanov are still listed as members of the ESA Advanced Concepts Team (ACT) in Noordwijk, The Netherlands, although both of them already left ACT back in September 2024 to become a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research Fellow with the Faculty of Mathematics at Universität Wien (University of Vienna) resp. a Research Software Engineer at the Netherlands eScience Center:

Who knows - maybe the release of the revised paper has to do with Politecnico di Milano being a project partner of the Europe Defense Fund (EDF) research project ARCHYTAS (ARCHitectures based on unconventional accelerators for dependable/energY efficienT AI Systems), which I happened to come across two months ago?
Ty you’ve made my day alreadyToo funny, Pom. You are the only reason I keep coming back.
Maybe Sean’s aIf they can't sign any IP deals before the next AGM, Sean's business plan has failed. He does seem very confident and upbeat at the last interviews we have seen, so let's hope It's happing very soon!

Why would a bottle manufacturing company only charge a customer the variable costs associated to produce the bottle?I tend to think perceptron may be on to something. We aren't selling slabs of VB thats trying to compete with Toohey's, Great Northern, Heineken, etc.... there are hundreds of variants of beer competing with each other for market share.
Brainchip Akida has minimal competition, and doesn't make sense to sell a chip for only $1.06 profit considering the amount of money and resources poured into the product. - you are buying intellectual property that is intangible. Do you think Apple sell their mobile phones for $1000+ and only profit $5-10 from each unit.......

Not sure whether there was much said ot the following which was revealed in the October newsletter.
"BrainChip also revealed a collaboration with SRS Provenance to advance AI-driven animal tracking and habitat monitoring, as well as new LiDAR intelligence capabilities through its partnership with PreAct, extending Akida’s reach into autonomous systems and smart sensing."
Maybe I missed it or forgotten about but this project appears to have only just started at the beginning of Sept with OHB, fortiss etc.

AI4FDIR
AI-based system for fault detection, recovery, and resource management in satellites
AI4FDIR
AI4FDIR is an ESA-funded project led by OHB System AG to develop an AI-based framework for autonomous fault detection, isolation, and recovery (FDIR), as well as constellation-level management and resource optimization in satellite telecommunication systems. By combining machine learning, deep learning, and neuromorphic computing, the project targets a tenfold reduction in both operational outage time and the time to restore nominal service. The consortium—comprising OHB DC, OHB Hellas, SATE, Kepler, and fortiss—will validate the approach through simulators and hardware-in-the-loop platforms, including BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic processors. fortiss will implement a neuromorphic proof-of-concept for spacecraft-level FDIR.
Project description
The project addresses the need for greater autonomy in managing large satellite constellations, where traditional ground-based fault management is costly, slow, and increasingly impractical. The main challenge is to detect, isolate, and resolve failures on board in real time, while predicting potential degradations before they affect service.
To tackle this, the consortium combines advanced AI methods with neuromorphic hardware, enabling fast, low-power decision-making directly on spacecraft. This proof-of-concept approach will demonstrate how predictive monitoring and autonomous recovery can reduce outage and restoration times by an order of magnitude and pave the way for resilient, self-managing space systems.
Research contribution
fortiss will investigate CNN-based classification and detection algorithms on the BrainChip Akida platform. In addition, we will explore pattern-matching techniques, encoders, and complementary network architectures to process heterogeneous multi-channel inputs. As a first step, we will use the public ESA anomaly dataset to identify suitable network models for fault detection. Building on these results, we will validate the implemented algorithms using real-time data from Kepler and the OHB constellation simulator.
