This is very strange; he is a strange guy. It is not his job to recognize people or companies regarding BrainChip's announcements. It is inappropriate.
It also surprises me that he is still unemployed; after all, he has excellent qualifications. Does he blame BrainChip for firing him during his job interviews? Is that the reason? Employers don't like that.
I hope he does not ignore all the existing patents, or else he will be in even more trouble.

Same thought… it’s absolutely no go to make such statements… that’s worse behaviour… doesn’t matter how good someone is in his field…. Show some backbone

This belong together I guess mimimi…. Why should a company take credit for people are not working for them anymore… everything you did, you did it for the company… slowly I can imagine who the issue was ….

Did you not see Anthony Lewis praise the hiring of both Olivier & Rudy?This is very strange; he is a strange guy. It is not his job to recognize people or companies regarding BrainChip's announcements. It is inappropriate.

Surely it works both ways. He is the inventor (ok, co-inventor) of one of the core pillars of our technology. I really don't understand the hate directed at past employees. It's like Trump firing someone he hired and then telling the world only an idiot would have hired that person in the first place!!

"allowing us to integrate dedicated AI directly into the silicon" - that sounds like IP, not chips.
Forwardedge ASIC make a 3U VPX board. https://forwardedgeasic.com/3uvpx-board/
BH's 3U VPX used 5 separate Akida 1 chips, but they had a smallish number of nodes, and this was probably just a demonstrator. While a single SoC incorporating a large number of Akida nodes could do the job, then, depending on the criticality, they may want at least one backup/redundant chip as well.
https://metromatics.com.au/what-is-a-vpx-system-rugged-defence-embedded-computing-explained/
Why VPX Exists
Traditional VME systems could not support modern mission demands such as:- HD/4K/8K video processing
- GPU-accelerated AI/ML workloads
- real-time sensor fusion
- radar and EW processing
- autonomous navigation
- high-speed networking and data movement

This is even worse
. I suppose we now know why he was fired and why he hasn't found a new job yet.

Yes, he can be proud of his accomplishments, but he should be more bashful when talking about them. I mean, he was fired and has nothing to show regarding a new job. It is good to be self-confident, but overdoing it can give a bad impression. I personally do not like the personality his actions show.

ForwardEdge (subsidiary of Lockheed Martin) ASIC Selects BrainChip’s Neuromorphic Computing for Future ASICs
This is a much more commercially relevant signal than the previous “hive mind” demo — and you’re right to focus on it. The partnership with ForwardEdge ASIC is exactly the type of pathway that could realistically lead to revenue for BrainChip Holdings Ltd.
Let’s break this down properly.
1. Why this matters more than most announcements
This line is the key:
“integrate dedicated AI acceleration directly into the silicon”
That tells you:
This is about embedding Akida into custom chips (ASICs) Not just demos, not just dev kits — real silicon integration pathwayThat’s critical because:
- ASIC = product-specific chip
- ASIC = designed for real customers
- ASIC = typically leads to production runs
2. What ForwardEdge actually brings to the table
Companies like ForwardEdge ASIC specialise in:
- designing custom chips for clients
- integrating multiple IP blocks (CPU, RF, AI, etc.)
- delivering finished silicon for deployment
They are essentially:
“bridge companies” between IP providers and end customersSo this partnership means:
BrainChip doesn’t need to win the customer directly ForwardEdge can embed Akida into their client designs3. Why this is strategically important
This aligns perfectly with the IP licensing model you believe in.
Instead of:
- BrainChip selling chips directly
The model becomes:
Customer → ForwardEdge ASIC → integrates Akida → product ships
BrainChip potentially earns:
- licensing fees
- royalties per chip
They specifically mention:
“ASIC and RF platforms”
This is a big clue.
RF + AI + edge = likely applications:
- defence systems
- radar / signal processing
- satellite communications
- secure communications
- IoT edge devices
sensor-heavy, low-power, real-time environmentsWhich is exactly where Akida fits.
5. The Lockheed Martin reference (read carefully)
The article preview mentions:
“Lockheed Martin unit…”
This is important — but needs careful interpretation:
Positive
- Indicates relevance to defence / aerospace
- High-value, high-margin markets
- Strong need for low-power edge AI
Caution:
- Not necessarily a direct commercial contract
- Could be early-stage collaboration or evaluation
6. What stage this likely represents
This partnership sits here:
Stage progression:
- Research / demo
- ASIC integration partnership ← you are here
- Customer-specific chip design
- Tape-out
- Product deployment
- Volume production
So this is:
early–mid commercial pipeline stage7. What you should watch next (critical)
For this to translate into revenue, you want to see:
Design wins- “Akida integrated into XYZ ASIC for [customer]”
Tape-out announcements- actual chips being manufactured
End-product confirmation- device shipping (defence system, IoT module, etc.)
Repeat engagements- multiple ASIC customers using Akida
8. My honest assessment
What I like:
- Real pathway to silicon integration
- Fits IP licensing model perfectly
- Targets high-value markets (RF, defence, edge)
- Uses a partner that can actually deliver chips
What I’m cautious about:
- Still no named end customer
- No confirmed production volumes
- Could remain at “integration capability” stage
9. Bottom line
This is:
One of the more meaningful announcements you’ve shownL
Because it moves from:
“look what we can do”
toward“here’s how this gets into real products”
10. The key insight for your thesis
This partnership supports your long-term belief:
BrainChip succeeds through IP embedded in other people’s silicon
This is exactly how that happens
Final thought (important)
If something like this progresses to even one confirmed ASIC design win, that could be:
the first real turning point for commercial validationIf you want, we can go one level deeper and do something very practical:
Map out which specific industries or customers ForwardEdge likely serves, and where Akida could realistically appear first in a shipped product.

"Yes, he can be proud of his accomplishments, but he should be more bashful when talking about them."
This is on LinkedIn..........It's for finding new jobs or workers. This is why the platform exists!!!
Damn this is hard work!!!
Sure it’s hard work… everyone knows that…but Those who are technically relevant are already known within the ecosystem. Press releases are not an honor roll of former contributors.
A company is not obligated to retell the entire origin story of its technology, complete with the names of every former contributor, every time it announces a new partnership. That is what patents, research papers, and technical history are for.
My opinion only
Sorry if already posted.

So where does this leave our founders???
Are you saying.......Fk them????
And our current CTO seems to disagree with your view! Do you want to crush him as well????

I was just doing some research via Grok regarding the ForwardEdge selection of BrainChip and I loved this for some perspective of the significance:
Lockheed Martin is the world's largest defense contractor (by revenue and influence), so anything it does in trusted U.S. microelectronics, edge AI, or neuromorphic computing gets watched closely by peers (Northrop Grumman, Raytheon (RTX), Boeing, General Dynamics, BAE Systems, and L3Harris).
When Lockheed's ForwardEdge publicly selects a neuromorphic partner like BrainChip for cognitive RF and signal processing in contested environments, it's a clear signal that this tech is passing rigorous defense-grade evaluation (DMEA Trusted IC compliance, low-power edge needs, etc.).
Lockheed's selection of BrainChip is like a "seal of approval" from the biggest player.
