I think our success comes down to the fact that cyber started as the remit of ASD and then the ASCS when it became slightly less classified and more open to other agencies and industry so the culture has always been pretty tight lipped, but it could also be down to the fact that I don't think any politician in living memory in this country has ever planned more than 24 hours in advance...
True ... now if we could just "manage" the news cycle ... Orwell that ends well ...
Is this still a happening ?
BrainChip Studio 2018.3 Improves Facial Classification Accuracy December 19, 2018

Studio was put on the backburner when BrainChip realized that thet needed to demonstrate that the Akida chipo worked in silicon. Studio was SNN software designed to work on a CPU, and it delivered significanlly improved performance compared with existing CNN programs.

I guess that, from talking to customers, LdN and co realized that the SoC/SoC IP market was much larger than just the facial recognition market and was ready for an edge/standalone, low power, battery operated SoC solution with onchip learning.
At that stage, BrainChip retrenched its marketing sales force and put all hands (and all dollars) to the oars into developing Akida. It was a bracing period for long term shareholders, but they strapped PvdM to the mast, plugged their ears, and survives the sirens' pull to a watery grave.
So the short answer is: we still have the software IP and code, and, if the pressure eases sufficiently, and there is sufficient demand, Studio could be revived. I don't know what happened to teh then existing customer projects.
