BRN Discussion Ongoing

Honestly, it’s getting hard to watch.
While other companies are out there signing real deals, winning awards, and showing up in official datasheets, BrainChip is still busy declaring itself a “leader in Edge AI.” Self-proclaimed greatness...

Meanwhile, we’re stuck guessing whether Akida might possibly be hiding somewhere in some secret chip… because apparently, nobody is allowed to just say it outright. That’s our big win? Speculation?

Week by week, the dream that we found an undiscovered diamond is turning into the realization that we’re just holding a shiny rock.

Here’s what we actually need in the coming weeks:
1.Real customers. Signed deals. Not NDAs – contracts.
2.Revenue. You know, money. The thing businesses need.
3.Proof that Akida works outside of PowerPoint slides.
4. ..I leave it to you..

And here’s what we really don’t need any more of:
-Another buzzword-filled presentation for the faithful
-Another “I’m excited” post from an academic on LinkedIn
-Another glowing brain animation that looks cool but pays zero bills

Hope is not a strategy. Neither is pretending everything’s fine.
We’re out of excuses – it’s time to deliver.
Thank goodness you put "rock" there, I thought you were going to say we were just holding a shiny...

Fair beefs, except this one..

"3.Proof that Akida works outside of PowerPoint slides."

Das ist zwar dramatisch übertrieben ausgedrückt, aber ich denke, die Botschaft ist klar: Wir brauchen endlich etwas Reales – etwas, das uns zu einem profitablen Unternehmen macht.
How many more times do you want to write this? Everyone here already knows it. If you’re so stressed about it, I’d suggest selling your stocks and investing in an ETF instead. That way, you can be much more relaxed.

Hi SharesForBrekky,

The real concern is that Innatera is now firmly in the spotlight with its neuromorphic product having been awarded “Best in Show.”

From what I can see, BrainChip didn’t even attend COMPUTEX 2025 - which is surprising, given it’s one of the world’s leading technology exhibitions, drawing nearly 1,400 exhibitors and over 86,000 attendees from 152 countries.

In my view, this was a major missed opportunity. Now everyone who attended the event, from media to potential partners, will have taken notice of their achievement.
Maybe we’re short of a few $$$ to be able to attend 😂

I believe this is definitely a good thing, as stated by their CEO "this recognition highlights a broader shift across the industry toward smarter, more sustainable AI."

It shows neuromorphic computing is getting noticed more and more. As neuromorphic computing evolves, there's naturally going to be more competition for Brainchip, which is a healthy sign.

As each company who are involved in neuromorphic computing are competitors, they will be looking to push the boundaries even further to gain that lead and bigger slice, which should hopefully lead to the next stage in the AI revolution and world domination.
Going from "We are the first mover and only one" to "Competition is always good".

What's next?
"At least we're not last in the race" or
"Oh well, we gave it a good go didn't we?".

From a paper (survey of other papers as well) just released June 2 by our friends(?) at TCS and Uni Singapore.

Haven't read it all as just found it but looks like a good source of info in one spot for players in the mkt. They all seem to have strengths, weaknesses and their places in the mkt.

Abstract.
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) have emerged as a class of bio‑inspired networks that leverage sparse, event‑driven signaling to achieve low‑power computation while inherently modeling temporal dynamics. Such characteristics align closely with the demands of ubiquitous computing systems, which often operate on resource‑constrained devices while continuously monitoring and processing time‑series sensor data. Despite their unique and promising features, SNNs have received limited attention and remain underexplored (or at least, under-adopted) within the ubiquitous computing community. To address this gap, this paper first introduces the core components of SNNs, both in terms of models and training mechanisms. It then presents a systematic survey of 76 SNN-based studies focused on time-series data analysis, categorizing them into six key application domains. For each domain, we summarize relevant works and subsequent advancements, distill core insights, and highlight key takeaways for researchers and practitioners. To facilitate hands-on experimentation, we also provide a comprehensive review of current software frameworks and neuromorphic hardware platforms, detailing their capabilities and specifications, and then offering tailored recommendations for selecting development tools based on specific application needs. Finally, we identify prevailing challenges within each application domain and propose future research directions that need be explored in ubiquitous community. Our survey highlights the transformative potential of SNNs in enabling energy-efficient ubiquitous sensing across diverse application domains, while also serving as an essential introduction for researchers looking to enter this emerging field.

Always the same tired response: ‘Just sell and buy an ETF.’ That kind of advice usually comes from those who can’t (or won’t) intellectually process valid criticism. It doesn’t show seriousness – it sounds more like reactive posturing without any meaningful counterarguments. Or maybe it’s just a cry for likes? Ignore 🤩

What’s Next: Scaling Neuromorphic AI in Healthcare​

The capabilities demonstrated in seizure prediction are only a starting point. The same underlying technology—low-power, event-based neuromorphic AI—can be applied to a range of neurological and muscular conditions where early detection and real-time response are critical.

  • Beyond Seizure Prediction: AI-powered systems have the potential to predict tremors in Parkinson’s patients before they occur, monitor stroke rehabilitation with greater precision, and detect early signs of cognitive or motor decline. These applications demand constant, adaptive analysis [7,8], something neuromorphic processors can deliver without compromising battery life or data privacy. BrainChip and Onsor are already exploring broader use cases, demonstrating how this platform can scale across multiple domains of personalized, real-time healthcare.
  • Gesture-Controlled Prosthetics:In prosthetics and assistive mobility solutions, neuromorphic processors can interpret EMG or neural signals to provide precise, real-time control of limbs. SNNs improve responsiveness while keeping power consumption low, enabling all-day operation. With on-device learning, such systems can continuously adapt to each user’s signal patterns and control behavior, improving over time without retraining [4].
  • Continuous Rehabilitation Monitoring: AI-powered wearables can track muscle movements, gait patterns, or facial expressions for 24/7 monitoring. These devices can flag early signs of falls, pain, or emotional distress in patients who may struggle to communicate. Always-on operation makes long-term monitoring possible without constant recharging [9].
  • A New Model for Edge AI in Medicine: Medical AI at the edge is becoming more feasible, secure, and personal. BrainChip’s Akida processor enables smart wearables, implants, and monitoring systems that run AI locally without compromising speed or data privacy. Future devices could track brain or heart signals in real time, adapting to individual health profiles without cloud dependency [10].

Seizure prediction powered by BrainChip’s Akida processor demonstrates how real-time, low-power AI can drive meaningful change in everyday healthcare. With solutions like the NEXA Smart Glasses, patients gain autonomy, caregivers benefit from timely insights, and treatment shifts from reactive to proactive. Neuromorphic AI is set to redefine how intelligent devices monitor, learn, and respond: on the edge, continuously, and with precision.

Remember SALUTS (formerly known as Salutes Space), the Space Infrastructure as a Service startup headquartered in Weßling, Germany? https://www.saluts.de

Ever since spotting a picture of an AKD1000 PCIe Board in one of co-founder and CEO Mohamed Sobhy Fouda’s LinkedIn posts back in March 2024, I’ve loosely followed this early-stage startup on LinkedIn, where Fouda confirmed last year that SALUTS had indeed used Akida when developing NEROnaut, their Robot-on-Chip.


Here are several recent LinkedIn posts that caught my eye:

In April, SALUTS and SARsatX Saudi Arabia signed an MoU:



BEFD70C8-E952-4C61-AE91-51060DDB1E46.jpeg




Then, two weeks ago, there was this post:



D1D67CB8-C02B-4C7F-972E-43CAA485332B.jpeg



Markus May, a fellow BrainChip shareholder from Germany, congratulated Mohamed Sobhy Fouda in the comment section and asked him whether playing with Akida had remained experimental or whether “the chip” had eventually found its way into this actual application. After thanking him for the good wishes, Mohamed Sobhy Fouda’s somewhat cryptic reply was: “Only this much in advance: surprise - it is a triple shot/tri-shot system.”

🤔 Anyway, sounds to me as if the team at SALUTS continues to be enamoured with Akida (no doubt one of the reasons being its commercial availability, see my 25 January post above).


261C22D0-BD60-4717-871C-99A79DE660B7.jpeg



After representing SALUTS at the Make It In The Emirates exhibition in Abu Dhabi (18 - 22 May), the company’s Dubai-based Regional Sales Manager Engy Zaher posted:


880A47CA-6E7C-4694-8A57-DC6A59BCE7BD.jpeg



On May 25, Mohamed Sobhy Fouda posted about SALUTS returning to London and launching next-gen defence intelligence from Fleet Street (where their London office was registered in December 2024, https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/16148749/officers), as partners in “a British-German alliance, powered by teams in London, Edinburgh, Munich & Berlin.” Since the company is headquartered in Weßling just outside of Munich, two of those teams (London and Munich) appear to be from SALUTS, which leaves us with two yet undisclosed partners in Edinburgh (close to where Mohamed Sobhy Fouda spent a year as an Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Trainee with Perth-based Air Service Training in 2017/2018) and Berlin (where he subsequently moved to from Scotland and graduated with a Master of Space Engineering from TU Berlin in 2022).

Strangely, this LinkedIn post was deleted a day or so later. So far nothing else has been revealed, despite the Christmas 2024 announcement that there would be a release on 25 May 2025.



4CE34141-9414-4812-87B5-D99B61B3EA54.jpeg




However, there was a different reveal on 31 May, again relating to Saudi Arabia: a strategic partnership with a Saudi Arabian company called Unifiaccess.

SALUTS: A New Name for a New Era
With its rapid ascent on the global stage, Salutes Space has rebranded to SALUTS—symbolizing an expanded mission from orbital servicing to critical infrastructure, industrial automation and defense.

“Our goal is to develop not only smarter but also more resilient and responsible AI—systems that learn, adapt and operate independently.”
— M. Sobhy Fouda, CEO of SALUTS

About SALUTS
Founded in 2023 and headquartered in Weßling, Germany, with offices in London, Riyadh and Dubai, SALUTS delivers Space Infrastructure as a Service (SIaaS) through ultra-low-power AI chips, autonomous systems and secure satellite links. Its core platforms—CHIRB and NEROnaut—enable real-time, decentralized AI for applications ranging from orbital servicing to smart manufacturing, maritime autonomy and critical-infrastructure protection. A winner of the 2024 “Economics of the Future” award at the Entrepreneurship World Cup and a Top 100 finalist in 2023, SALUTS is committed to human-centered innovation, environmental stewardship, sustainable low-power design and ethical transparency.

We invite investors, defense agencies, and technology leaders to join us in building a cyber-proof future.

SALUTS: as the risks associated with AI and robotics grow, the most effective countermeasure shall be to fight fire with fire—or rather, robots with robots digitally and physically. By deploying our Robot-on-Chip in intelligent machines, we can mitigate life 3.0 threats using the very technology that challenges us.





And here’s the latest post referencing SALUTS’ NEROnauts, the robots-on-chip that appear to involve Akida:

The thing with space-tech start-ups like SALUTS, EDGX or ANT61 is of course that they don’t have the financial means to license our IP - instead, those early stage small players would instead want to purchase physical Akida chips to integrate into their offerings, which will obviously not be high volume productions in the millions, unlike some consumer products that could benefit from neuromorphic technology. Also, we know the EDGX DPU comes with an optional neuromorphic Akida add-on (and I wouldn’t be in the least surprised if this was over time also extended to an optional SpiNNaker 2 add-on, cf.
https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-438883), so not every unit sold will have our technology in it.

Even though early-stage space-tech startups are not going to bring us the much-needed revenue in the near future, it is still encouraging to get our tech validated by more and more of them. And don’t forget that their own ecosystem network keeps growing as well.

Whether they will all mature into successful companies one day remains to be seen, of course. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
