BRN Discussion Ongoing

Happy Fri.

This was nice to see in the NASA 21FY Annual Review from Sept.

Most of the early and recent functional and working testing is around Loihi for obvious reasons but we in that frame...cherry picked out couple mentions :love:

Not long....Q1 - FY23 all going well (y)

PowerPoint Presso attached had to convert to PDf.

Also touches on the fast rover program in the presso.

Oh....Akida known as Freya stage in their Presso. Norse goddess.

Awesome Top Bloke @thelittleshort! I just watched this hour-long video of the main Prophesee Founder.

If I understood correctly, he was working on his PhD in Med College, and his final thesis was on the Retina. He implied it set him on this journey of SNN Event Based Vision, all focused on solutions and use-cases to help the world. He has been at it full speed for many decades, all just like PvdM, spikes, timing, and brain like.

The more I read and learn about them, I come away thinking that Prophesee + Sony + SNN Brainchip = Freaky Big Winning Combination.

Longer video, lots of history, but I like learning more about this, so worked for me. Ryad is a life winner.

Great 8 min video Jesse. How good is it hearing how well ARM are doing knowing that BrainChip are partnered with them. In the future there will be hundreds and hundreds of ARM chips in an autonomous vehicle. Phones will have more and more AI in them. Is ARM in the next iPhone? How long before Akida is in an iPhone. Very exciting times.

Hi FF, great to have you back.
There is another scenario that I have been thinking about. I feel that it’s quite conceivable that BrainChip has struck a deal with its partners ARM, Renesas, SiFive and MegaChips whereby we are giving them our larger EAP clients to take care of as part of a commercial deal (although not sure of ASX reporting requirements and timing). Therefore it could be that the license revenue that we have received from MegaChips is the full payment for our IP that will be used for a client that we have passed to them. I think this accounts for why things have gone so quiet on BrainChip’s commercial front. Feel this would provide a win-win-win. Possible?
Yes I was thinking if one of those EAPs was Samsung for example the timing of paying a licence via Megachips and putting out an AI washing machine would be about right. Saw a commercial last night for the washing machine - which was one of the commodities PVDM mentioned that would make a debut in his 2022 AI outlook blog late last year. AIMO.

Me too. When I saw that commercial I immediately thought of Akida. Same family of 4 are in 3 different commercials. TV, refrigerator and now the washing machine. Fingers crossed.

Learning to the Top 🕵‍♂️
when will we know if we can stay? cannot find the rebalancing date...
Hi chef,

It's happen every quarter, March, June, September and December.

However, I don't think this September rebalance will effect Brainchip.

Learning.

There are electronics everywhere.”

It has been said by others. This is a must watch/listen.

My takeaway points:

1. Haas: I won’t talk about pricing of chips - I have said it many times Brainchip’s secrecy around pricing is semiconductor industry standard.

2. Haas: EV’s reducing energy draw for the compute to maximise battery use to turn the driving wheels is the challenge - (Mercedes Benz knows this and works with the Ai Experts Brainchip to achieve this with AKIDA technology to create a car that thinks like you. What are the odds against ARM taking advantage of this Brainchip advantage. But wait they promote AKIDA for all automotive. )

3. Haas: There are currently dozens and dozens and dozens of ARM chips in vehicles and in the future hundreds and hundreds -(he said this against the background of saying power for compute in cars has to reduce but he is adding more compute how can he achieve this??? I believe I know.😂🤣😂)

4. Haas: Re Apple - Will not speak about ARM customers but all mobile phone makers are looking to innovate and add more Ai - Again I have said it before many times every company is chasing first to market with innovations that their competitors do not have and no one in this space talks about it in advance.

It is the golden rule just as Lex Luther never told Superman he had KRYPTONITE in his pocket in a lead lined case until he opened it.

Again Brainchip is following industry standard practice with keeping secret details of EAPs and published customer engagements. ARM does it and ARM AKIDA chip sales will not be shouted from the roof tops by either of ARM, Brainchip or the CUSTOMER.

But how will I know? Watch the financials might be one way.

BRN has extraordinary low operating costs including R&D, marketing etc of about $40m/yr. Once revenue starts streaming in their margins will be incredible.
Where did you get 40 million in operating costs? They are more likely about half of that.

Holding onto what I've got
Food for thought why Brainchip more-or-less ~5 years ahead for everyone else might be wrong. (IMO)

-If you put where the development aspect is at this stage aside for second
-If you assume the competition is doing something identical to Akida's (still 5 years)

If we start now (which we already have) and agree there is a lot of closed door NDA & OEM's developing already....between now and a few years more and more products with Akida will publicly roll out....at this point we are still ahead of the next competition (as far as we know)

Even if someone managed to make a chip SLIGHTLY lower power /SLIGHTLY higher performance (this is going to be hard) I don't see a partnerships jumping off Brainchip to the next, for them it would be too costly to change, re-educate, re-model, re-devople, re-deploy your already established business for marginal results.

Therefore we would need to think that if we are 5 years now + x years for another competitor to market - years to undo and change your product and more to them (for an OEM to do so) we are a lot more than 5 years.

When we throw in the mix, FOMO and simplicity of integration, ease of training etc we already have....you have to try and out perform Brainchip and move away from Brainchip where the cost versus benefits is worth it, for the foreseeable future I don't see anyone stopping us

Precisely.

Thank you for this video.

I started buying small parcels of Brainchip shares when they were still in single digits based on a tip from a work colleague. The more I researched, the more I purchased. The true tipping point for me though, was the ARM podcast and the appointment of so many ex ARM employees. That is when I went "all in" with a large portion of my life savings. The ARM connection to me is the one that has the potential to saturate the market with Akida.

A very interesting demonstration, I am impressed by the self driving ability of this vehicle. I would not be comfortable to sit in the back seat though.

Another little hiccough was at 3:43 when it stopped, holding up traffic visible in its side rear mirror, because a cyclist was approaching on the opposite side of the road. And there wasn’t even a floating plastic bag anywhere to be seen.

Unfortunately, needlessly coming to a complete stop, under many non-dangerous situations, is what autonomous vehicles will be programmed to do, and this will cause dangerous situations. This may be programmed for safety, but it will result in infuriating drivers behind the vehicle who may dangerously overtake just to get away from the unintelligent vehicle that seems to jump at shadows.

The vehicle also seems to let other vehicles slip in front of it; there was a point when it left a big gap at an intersection and a van pulled in front—that could be good to exploit when in traffic.;)
You have perfectly highlighted a use case for why Akida is so needed in the mix of autonomous vehicle technology.
