Hey Dio,

I do not believe any of the above would impede with technological developments. Every company that wants to compete in any market, needs to keep up with the latest technologies and offer them to their clientele. If Apple don’t, Samsung will; if Mercedes don’t, Volkswagen will, etc.

R&D budgets for the year are determined way in advance, and would have been approved, stamped and sealed.

If a CEO makes a comment of that nature, especially during a pandemic, he had better well deliver on it.

This should make for an interesting year, one way or another.

Cheers, Mark

Disagree. In challenging economic times, companies tend to change course and cut costs where possible. Non-revenue generating activities/items are usually the first to get slashed, including R&D.

Having worked for many large, public companies there is one thing I know… things change all the time.

We can do better than this !!

Me, myself personally is of the belief that it‘s imperative we maintain robust discussion and debate, without the need to use offensive or abusive language.

I understand both sides of the argument regarding our Battler’s communication, and performance, or lack thereof. It’s healthy to disagree, to have different opinions…but please, have the debate in a respectful manner.

Hey hey has until the AGM in May to produce what he said (or certainly suggested) in the middle of 2022.

During this period, we have the final 4C for 2022 at the end of January, the full year results towards the end of February, and the first quarter 4C for 2023 at the end of April.

The full year report is the one I’m most looking forward to.

Directors and senior management expressed extremely positive forecasts in late 2021 and the first half of 2022. Later we had Hey hey talking about headwinds and wars to explain away slower than expected progress. For mine they are simply excuses, for creating the expectation that is now trying to be diffused.

Btw…I the invitation remains, but I don’t expect to have to pay up. View attachment 27225

Well you should discuss that with Sean Hehir.

They have just added a new constellation in contemporary astrology, there where 88 constellations that are recognized by the International Astronomical Union. 42 depict animals, 29 depict inanimate objects and 17 depict humans or mythological characters, this last addition depicts the future of Ai View attachment wil-stewart-T26KCgCPsCI-unsplash2.jpg

Seans spoken for himself.

Thanks for the response Dio.

There’s probably nothing to discuss; Sean said it himself, and made a point in doing so, in fact, it’s how he closed out his speech during the last AGM.

“I am highly confident the commercialisation results will come in a steady sustainable fashion.
Even with all this commercialisation last five months, the company and myself should not be judged on effort, but results, with that said I look forward to standing before you next year to share all our progress and results from this next critical chapter of Brainchips journey.”

There’s either results by May, or there isn’t.

So nothing's changed since the last AGM?

All I can say is, these fucking Tesla's, his tech is clearly not working as it should, he needs to pull his head out of his ass, swallow is pride and embrace the future of safe and sound autonomous automation that has a "I'm a high toned son of a bitch" sticker on the bumper bar and has a Akida inside sticker on the bonnet. And maybe we can just make this place a little more safer.

The "phantom braking" of a Tesla Model S causes a resounding rear-end collision

[robsmark]

So nothing's changed since the last AGM?

Well, we havent signed any more customers, and revenue is non-existant. Plus we already have posters making excuses stating they wouldn’t expect much from the upcoming 4c.

So in terms of commercialisation… no, not much has happened in my opinion.

No I‘m not nailing the coffin lid down just yet, we have five months before the next AGM to bring a new customer or two, some decent revenue, or an exciting update about the EAP. But partnerships announced on LinkedIn won’t cut the mustard, and neither will the announcement of AKD2000, which was planned for 2023 long before SH joined the company.

Continually moving the goalposts does nothing but justify the building shorts. We are almost three years into our commercial journey, and we need to start seeing results. Sean knows and expected this, which is why he made such an incredibly bold (and I thought this at the time) public statement. If Akida is what we all believe it is (and I still do, evident by my growing portfolio), then sales should be happening.

Edit: Having just reread this post I don’t believe it’s fair to say nothing has happened in terms of commercialisation, I should have said that nothing has been delivered yet. I’m sure plenty is going on behind the scenes, but we need to see some commitment.

Yeah not a fan of him but the essence of the post still stands.
But glad to see you totally missed the point of it.

 

[Bravo]

Nothing stands out here but since this company has shown their hand.
Good to keep up with what's going on.

Soundhound (SOUN)....not a stock recommendation but right up Brainchip's alley

Voice assistants

Look at the total addressable market (TAM) and orders backlog for just one company. Clients include Mercedes.

From yahoo

SoundHound AI (SOUN)

The first AI stock we're looking at is SoundHound AI, a voice assisting specialist. Via speech, its voice AI platform enables consumers to interact with products. This is not some esoteric segment of the market we’re talking about. The company sees a huge TAM (total addressable market) of $160 billion ahead; by 2024, there are expected to be 8 billion voice assistants in use with 75 billion connected devices operating worldwide the following year. SoundHound has some big-name clients on its roster such as Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Kia, Deutsche Telekom, Snap, Stellantis and Vizio.

SoundHound only became a public entity this year, entering the market via the SPAC route back in April. It has been a trial by fire, to say the least. The shares are down by 88% since the debut as SPACs went seriously out of favor in 2022’s bear.

Nevertheless, despite worries about the company being able to withstand the tough macro conditions amidst continued losses, it has been posting some impressive growth. In Q3, revenue climbed by 178% YoY to $11.2 million. The company saw a cumulative bookings backlog of $302 million, amounting to a 239% YoY increase - representing a fourth consecutive quarter of triple-digit growth and a company record.

In November, the company introduced a new product called Dynamic Interaction, a conversational AI tool that enables businesses to use voice AI technology when servicing customers.

Cantor’s Brett Knoblauch thinks it could be a “game-changing technology as it pertains to how humans interact with computers, and more broadly speaking, technology.”

“We believe there are numerous use-cases that this technology could be utilized for, with low-hanging fruit being within customer-service settings like restaurants,” the analyst went on to add. “We believe this product 1) further expands upon SOUN's conversational AI advantage; 2) gives us greater visibility into SOUN's revenue trajectory; 3) will accelerate the mix-shift of revenue towards subscription revenue; and 4) expands SOUN's addressable market.”

Conveying his confidence, Knoblauch rates SOUN as Overweight (i.e., Buy) and backs it up with a $1.60 price target, implying shares will move ~32% higher over the one-year timeframe. (To watch Knoblauch’s track record, click here)

Knoblauch, while bullish on the stock, is somewhat conservative compared to the general Wall Street view here. The average price target is higher than Alexanders, at $3.70, implying a strong upside potential of ~206% from the $1.21 share price. Unsurprisingly, SOUN has a Strong Buy analyst consensus rating, based on a unanimous 3 Buys. (See SOUN stock forecast)

There’s either results by May, or there isn’t.

Sean Hehir...."...the company and myself should not be judged on effort, but results, with that said I look forward to standing before you next year to share all our progress and results from this next critical chapter of Brainchips journey.”

Robsmark...."There’s either results by May, or there isn’t."

My thoughts,....

1) "effort" to me is soft feel good stuff like, "we're visiting with X amount of companies" or "we have many meetings..." or " we have received favorable feedback" blah, blah, blah.

2) "progress and results" to me go together so that Sean can say positive results are happening due to positive progress. I know,....tastes great but less filling (think Miller Lite), right? What we're all looking for is a hearty amber ale served in May instead.

But look at the increasing circle of engagement with or involving Brainchip. These are postive results in my opinion. My gosh the ARM and Intel announcements alone are huge results. We should probably be paying Edge Impulse just for their public relations efforts alone on behalf of Brainchip.

And I had to blink a few times when I first read about some small company called VVDN and a "whoa" escaped my lips once I looked into them. And it goes on and on with too much we are all familiar with.

But here's the thing with a sales driven organization. You have got to have stuff in the tunnel, or pipeline. Lots of stuff. It is not what have you done for me recently, but what are you going to show me or do for me tomorrow. In this respect I believe Brainchip, and as a result Sean Hehir, have hit the proverbial home run in 2022. And if I were at the AGM in May I would give him and the team a standing O.

3) "next critical chapter of Brainchip's journey " Now I am really jacked up to hear him describe what in the heck a critical chapter in their journey is.
What could be more critical than profitability? The Brainchip story has been a great read so far but the critical chapter cannot come soon enough for me. dippY

Startup Using AI Helps Wagyu Farmers to Improve Quality Efficiently

Kinda of reminds back when Rob Telson did a podcast and mentioned they can have something around livestock neck to monitor health, but were not concentrating on that as they were going for where the money is.
