BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Straw]

Just a mention of MF's published opinions from a couple of days ago. I think Mr Mickleboro seems to be quite upset. I don't think anyone is forcing him or anyone else to buy shares, so chill.
And after holding shares and taking on significant risk for 7 years and not just "following" the story, I have along with that risk had to put up with paid attention grubbing at any cost like his for years so have zero tolerance for his very targeted gripes. It is people like him that encourage everyone to think short term and make things even more difficult for emerging companies and certainly retail invested in them (not to mention potentially making CRs more dilutive by talking everything down and then whinging about it in the same breath). I wonder if they do that to companies they currently have a stake in.
I haven't once told him he should buy some BRN shares on my widely distributed opinion network.
Not impressed.
It is truly beyond me why he is surprised that people are taking it personally. Is there any particular reason he made no mention of Mercedes, ARM, Megachips, Nvisio, Edge Impulse and Prophesee and instead decided to dredge up any failure of the company over that 7 years and any other engagenent that has uncertainty surrounding it. Yet the company has adapted and are still here and reached the commercialisation phase of the first (and maybe second) iteration of the primary product that they have always been aiming for despite the ongoing wider world events and still looking forward.

And as a final comment, of course on a totally unrelated subject, shorting needs to be totally banned, period. It is criminally predatory, highly damaging to legitimate companies (and their shareholders) and completely unnecessary. Just thought it needed saying again. I will also continue to say it in the future.

Great post mate.

25% of all ARM chips is a big call though! I like it but Kevin today mentioned that Akida "solved some very specific use cases". Not sure how to take that comment. Is the use for our IP a small and specific market or could we potentially be utilised in, as you say, 25% of their chips. I hope it's the latter.

Hi @alwaysgreen

If you read my earlier post I mentioned “scalability” getting a mention by DELL, ARM, Mercedes Benz but also Peter van der Made and Anil Mankar since day one.

“A simple definition of scalability:

What is scalability in computing
Scalability is the measure of a system's ability to increase or decrease in performance and cost in response to changes in application and system processing demands.”

AKIDA technology is scalable from the extreme far, far, far EDGE right through back up to the data centre.

I posted an article a few days ago in which ARM had acknowledged a while back that it’s Ai offerings did not meet market expectations and changing this was a priority.

If you put this all together then in my opinion 25% might end up being conservative.

But what would I know I cannot work my son in laws TV remote.

My opinion only DYOR

AKIDA BALLISTA

Just gunna leave this here.......

Toyota, Sony and other major firms join forces to manufacture chips in Japan

The move coincides with a worldwide chip shortage that has affected industries ranging from automaking to appliance production.

Well I'd like to see it develop so that Akida IP will be offered as an optional extra for all ARM chips - certainly those with AI/ML applications would need seriously consider the option.

There is a shortcut registration process in Australia where, if the patent has been granted in certain countries (including USA), the patent can be granted in Australia without examination if the claims are identical. So I guess that's what has happened here, but I haven't checked to see if the claims are identical.

"An improved spiking neural network".......? Does this mean an upgrade?

"An improved spiking neural network".......? Does this mean an upgrade?

Hi stockduck,

This is what BRN said about the US equivalent:

US 11,468,299 “An Improved Spiking Neural Network,” protects the learning function of BrainChip’s digital neuron circuit implemented on a neuromorphic integrated circuit.

https://brainchip.com/brainchip-for...portfolio-with-new-awards-and-ip-acquisition/

The Australian patent:

AU2021254524B2 AN IMPROVED SPIKING NEURAL NETWORK

an improved spiking neural network (SNN) configured to learn and perform unsupervised extraction of features from an input stream.

the neuromorphic integrated circuit can be reprogrammed for many different tasks using a user defined configuration file. For example, the connections between layers and neural processors in the neuromorphic integrated circuit can be reprogrammed using a user defined configuration file.

Interesting how this latest Mickleboro article absolutely caning Brainchip is approved no worries by MF, but an MF article I sort of recall from about 1 to 2 years ago where this other guy who was extremely bullish on Brainchip got scrapped shortly after it was released.

I remember this particular author had some decent credentials as well but I think that was pretty much the last time I saw him release anything on MF. I know we talked a little about this on HC at the time, so maybe someone can recall.

This reminds me a bit of the ASX query stuff that goes on.

Ostrich farm?

The startup's chips come in a variety of form factors, including a stand-alone processor as well as an M.2 PCIe card and a standard PCIe card. A year ago, the upstart said its MP10304 PCIe card, powered by four M1076 AMP chips, was capable of delivering up to 100 trillion operations per second of AI performance while only using less 25 watts of power.

Mythic turned to analog chips — used for computers decades ago before digital circuits become all the rage — in trying to figure out how to bring processing elements as close as possible to the memory, a challenge many chip designers are trying to solve to improve performance and efficiency.

• Startups bag billions to fill gaps left by chip world giants
• AI caramba, those neural networks are power-hungry: Counting the environmental cost of artificial intelligence
• Intel takes on AMD and Nvidia with mad 'Max' chips for HPC
• Chipmakers are crippling products to evade US China ban

By using analog chips instead of digital chips, Mythic was able to take the concept of "compute-in-memory to an extreme" and "compute directly inside the memory array itself," according to the company.

"This is possible by using the memory elements as tunable resistors, supplying the inputs as voltages, and collecting the outputs as currents," Mythic said on its website.

Garibay said Mythic proved its point at the AI Hardware Summit in September, where the company showed off analog chips that could run the YOLOv5 object detection algorithm on high-resolution video at 60 frames per second while only consuming 3.5 watts.

"I am extremely proud of what our team achieved in taking a concept that almost everyone else in the industry thought was impossible to implement and building it in to a real working silicon product," he said.

As of last year, Mythic had raised a total of $165.2 million from investors, which included Hewlett Packard Enterprise and New York investment giant BlackRock. ®

I wonder what the resale value of their patents will be?

Got to feel for them - they are feeling the cold early winds of recession. No doubt their engineers were just a dedicated as BrainChip's.
