[Fullmoonfever]

Further to @Fact Finder s post about issues in the current climate attracting quality, experienced staff I see KBR advertised again through March (closed end Mar) for a RadNeuro Research Engineer...unless of course they need an additional one

Is the same details as the role advertised in Jan this year I posted HC in early Feb.

Good to see still working towards prototyping for NASA at least.

Latest first then HC snip.

I feel a bit embarrassed posting this after the previous posts which have all been so eloquent, thoughtful and just plain bloody brilliant! But I just wanted to let everyone know that my horoscope prediction for today was spot on in the finance section, not once but TWICE!

In spite of how frivolous it may seem, it strikes me that it bodes EXTREMELY well for all of us!

Expenses = More BrainChip shares
Investment Gains: More BrainChip shares

Accumulated more earlier this week and more today... was strangely hoping sp would drop down into the 93c mark. Why? Because, as many have repeated, we most likely won't see these prices again. Insto's definitely driving prices down, so why not use that to our advantage also? It's a long game. Revenue will increase this year but I fear we are investing too much emotion on these short term figures... 2025 is where the action will take place.
I also can't help but feel a little nervous about all the Mercedes-Benz hype. I think this will slowly pan out but I'm investing on the expected returns from the renesas and megachips deal... our IP will be in so many products, this is where the saturation will take place.
Every dollar (or 93 cents) invested today in BRN is 5 dollars in 2025 or slap me in the face.... If u prefer keep your cash under the mattress or take a holiday but I can wait for my vacation in 2025.

But then it went on to say this, which I am a bit weirded out by. But that's ok, I'm going to have a chamomile tea and clean my chakras out, so everything should be fine by tomorrow.

Topics: The future of AI within everyday technology like phones, smart homes, and transportation. The science behind ‘mimicking the brain’ – allowing art…

Another podcast from Rob Telson

Haven't had a chance to listen myself yet but thanks for the find @Dallas

As poor old Molly used to say DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR and take a listen to this podcast.

I apologise in advance for the Vice President of World Wide Sales at Brainchip being over the top excited about the product he is selling called AKIDA Technology.

I also apologise for the podcast host being more excited about AKIDA Technology than Rob Telson and for his over the top statements at the end of the podcast that AKIDA technology is going to change the World.

I know some retail investors will get carried away and buy shares in Brainchip just because of their combined enthusiasm so please don’t do that actually listen to why they are so excited then decide whether to invest.

My opinion only DYOR

Do I recall BRN discussing AI in agriculture at some point.

Not implying BRN involved but companies starting to R&D and look to implement.

From Kubota Corp Ann Report in Mar.

Yes definitely from at least 2020 Agriculture has been spoken of by Brainchip. The former CEO Mr. Dinardo spoke quite passionately about the roll that AKIDA could perform in bringing smart agriculture to the World.

Hi @Bravo77 you may recall I emailed Bernard Vogginger, asking about Akida and why it was not also reviewed. Well, he wrote back last night. As I am not well versed in the world where I can respond to Bernhard, could the more intelligent posters (@Diogenese !) lead me to the peer reviewed articles and other issues he mentions?

"weights cannot be set manually", - it does have MetaTF/ADE, not to mention one-shot learning, but, no, there are no manual weight changers, after all it's not a gym.

Hardware details not available:
(I'm not sure if this has been posted before)

I can see that Bernhard is not convinced about Akida because he knows nothing about it.

Who was it said: "If you want to do AI/NN research, use Loihi - if you want a commercial NN, get Akida"?

PS: I wonder if what Bernhard heard had been peer reviewed?

The excerpted paragraph below is from the written topic description beneath the podcast start arrow. I think it is incorrect. It implies that 60 billion is what Brainchips market value will be in 2025 when I think it should have said the edge compute total addressable market will be 60 billion. Thoughts?

...from the podcast description,.....
"BrainChip is publicly traded on the Australian Stock Exchange, and the OTC Market, and was named among the ‘EE Times’ Silicon 100’ list. Within a year, BrainChip’s market cap also grew from just below $200m to nearly $1 billion+ at present. BrainChip also predicts it’ll be worth $60 billion by 2025! "

I think a lot of cult followers are of the belief that since the evaluation kits and testing boards have been on sale we should see massive dollars.

The AI edge chip market is on fire, kindled by 'staggering' VC funding

Dozens of startups continue to get tens of millions in venture funding to make chips for AI in mobile and other embedded computing uses. The race shows no sign of slowing down.

This 4C is expected to be <2mill and that should be expected as per any long term holder aware of the business model. No royalties will be paid by the only two licensees, however fees for licensing may apply at this stage.

Growth will be slow and royalties will come in following years… we should be looking at competitors for revenue expectations. Hopefully we see some more licensing deals eventuate this year which will carry through to royalties roughly two years later…

As an investor I would be extremely disappointed with less then 10 more license deals this year… gradually increasing per year.

The following is a quote from an EETimes article on Rain.Ai’s own web site:

“The first Rain chips will deliver 125 million INT8 parameters for vision, speech, natural language processing and recommendation workloads, consuming less than 50 W. The company expect samples to be available in 2024, with silicon ready for commercial shipment in 2025”

I think they linked this article about SiFive and Brainchip because it is aspirational. They are certainly in no way shape or form a competitor.

Hi @Rocket577
I have extracted the best bit where Mike speaks about Brainchip as cults are not interested in false gods:

“Some companies began with such a different approach that they set themselves apart early, but have taken some time to bear fruit.

BrainChip Holdings, of Sydney, Australia, with offices in Laguna Hills, California, got a very early start in 2011 with a chip to handle spiking neural networks, the neuromorphic approach to AI that purports to more closely model how the human brain functions.

The company has over the years showed off how its technology can perform tasks such as using machine vision to identify poker chips on the casino floor.

"BrainChip has been doggedly pursuing this spiking architecture," said Demler. "It has a unique capability, it can truly learn on device," thus performing both training and inference.

FlexLogix

BrainChip has in one sense come the farthest of any startup: it's publicly traded. Its stock is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange under the ticker "BRN," and last fall the company issued American Depository Shares to trade on the U.S. over-the-counter market, under the ticker "BCHPY." Those shares have since more than tripled in value.

BrainChip is just starting to produce revenue. The company in October came out with mini PCIe boards of its "Akida" processor, for x86 and Raspberry Pi, and last month announced new PCIe boards for $499. The company in the December quarter had revenue of U.S.$1.1 million, up from $100,000 in the prior quarter. Total revenue for the year was $2.5 million, with an operating loss of $14 million.”
