Hey friends - trying to wrap my head around this one from a commercial point of view, hoping someone smarter than I can help me (there may be others too?) out here.
ANT61 on LinkedIn: #robotics #ai #machinelearning #innovation #space #spaceaustralia…
A neuromorphic chip inspired by the human mind? It seems like a concept from a sci-fi novel, yet it's the perfect core for our cutting-edge space robot! In…www.linkedin.com

So unless I am reading this wrong (or reading too much into the specific wording), we have been providing ANT61 chips directly? Does this mean a license would need to be purchased, or can chips be procured directly at $X a pop? And of course tack ongoing engineering and consultancy fees on top of that.
If I have mucked up and this is likely an arrangement through Renesas or MegaChips, my apologies!
More great validation of our product and as you can see from the LinkedIn post this has piqued the interest of others in similar industries which is great!

So glad to see our synapse symbol still has a place in our marketing ecosystem.
Done in orange it really makes the blue of the lettering "pop" and was afraid after seeing its virtual dismissal from the website, that Jerome may have banished it for good. Note they are still using it on the about page (of the website) as virtual asterisks in front of the Brainchip global addresses. And (perhaps) different graphics guys are still playing around with it somewhat as evidenced by the use of it as the dot above the i in akida in some signage.
Long live our synapse!
A simple yet elegant, expressive and differentiating part of our branding.

The two that we've particularly that we have partnered with are BrainChip and Quadric, and we chose them for a combination of reasons and really in the end, the same.
Speaker2: [00:13:30] Number one, they both had incredible capability. They had, you know, the technical expertise and the performance demonstrated. We were able to demonstrate performance that was that was right at the leading edge of the marketplace.
Secondly, they had some real traction in the marketplace. They had been out talking to customers for a year or two already, had had significant customer engagements, and these customers were starting to get to the point of actually wanting to do actual designs with these products.
And third is that both companies had the appropriate proof of proof of capability in Silicon and the software support environment to make it possible to successfully integrate these the evaluate and integrate these chips or this IP onto onto ASICs chips. So that was a combination of reasons we chose to because we think they were largely complementary.
Brainchip is a very unique capability. It has on device learning can pair up very easily with existing processors to accelerate. Neural network processing can handle wide variety of networks and is also extremely low power. And so those were very strong characteristics that we had had had in mind.
Hi charmander,
Akida was provided in the form of PCIe boards. Brainchip either sold or donated the PCIe boards.
Someone posted a statement by MIKHAIL ASAVKIN about vibration testing the boards.
No licence would be involved.
The licence is for the use of Akida IP to make chips.

Hi Charmander,
I think in this case with ANT61 is more so the validation of BrainChip’s Akida technology as the brain for ANT61 robotics.
We can see from the video, ANT61 is using the AKIDA PCIe Boards at the cost of around $800 Aud. So ANT61 may have purchased a few to develop their system or Brainchip could supply ANT61 with the AKIDA PCIe Boards for free and Brainchip could be charging for engineering fee.
ANT61 is also a startup and hopefully they become a commercial success in the future and acquire an IP from Brainchip. But at this stage I don't think ANT61 would have the funding to purchased AKIDA IP.
Hope that's answered your question. Other members can add to this as the above is just my opinion.

And, to add onto Dio...'s comments, I see Brainchip working with a small Australian startup and helping them to meet their goals by providing Brainchips tech more or less for proof of concept purposes (from Brainchip's perspective). The least of Brainchips short term goals are licenses, IP contracts, etc. Ant is not (yet) in that position to move any needles revenue wise. But if this project goes well it will be a PR coup for Brainchip and Akida, ...and of course Ant. I see this as a total risk-reward gamble on Brainchips part in that they lose a few thousand dollars for the opportunity to prove to the Space industry that they have a solution that works. My opinion only. Regards, dippY

There is "gossup" circulating that the US FED may initiate up to ............... get this, ............. 2Trillion Dollars for the whole banking systemn
............. not just the banks that are on shaky ground.
Possibly the reason for the "green overnight markets @BienSuerte

This sounds like a confluence of opportunities:
"They had been out talking to customers for a year or two already, had had significant customer engagements, and these customers were starting to get to the point of actually wanting to do actual designs with these products."
"They" being BrainChip and Quadric had engagements with customers who were wanting to create designs in silicon, and MegaChips fits the bill.

BrainChip Partners with MegaChips to Develop Next-Generation Edge-Based AI Solutions
Laguna Hills, Calif. – November 21, 2021 – BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN), (OTCQX: BCHPY) a leading provider of ultra-low power high performance artificial intelligence technology and the world’s first commercial producer of neuromorphic AI chips and IP, today announced that MegaChips, a pioneer in the ASIC industry, has licensed BrainChip Akida™ IP to enhance and grow its technology positioning for next-generation, Edge-based AI solutions.A multibillion-dollar global fabless semiconductor company based in Japan, MegaChips provides chip solutions that fulfill various requirements, including low power consumption, cost and time to market, while achieving breakthrough functions and performance by fusing knowledge of Large Scale Integrations and applications for problems in device development. By partnering with BrainChip, MegaChips is able to quickly and easily maintain its industry innovator status by supplying solutions and applications that leverage the Akida revolutionary technology in markets such as automotive, IoT, cameras, gaming and industrial robotics.
“As a trusted and loyal partner to market leaders, we deliver the technology and expertise they need to ensure products are uniquely designed for their customers and engineered for ultimate performance,” said Tetsuo Hikawa, President and CEO of MegaChips. “Working with BrainChip and incorporating their Akida technology into our ASIC solutions service, we are better able to handle the development and support processes needed to design and manufacture integrated circuits and systems on chips that can take advantage of AI at the Edge.”
BrainChip’s Akida technology brings artificial intelligence to the edge in a way that existing technologies are not capable. The solution is high-performance, small, ultra-low power and enables a wide array of edge capabilities. Due to its flexibility and scalability, the Akida (NSoC) and intellectual property can be used in applications including Smart Home, Smart Health, Smart City and Smart Transportation. These applications include but are not limited to home automation and remote controls, industrial IoT, robotics, security cameras, sensors, unmanned aircraft, autonomous vehicles, medical instruments, object detection, sound detection, odor and taste detection, gesture control and cybersecurity.
“The MegaChips and BrainChip partnership furthers both company’s missions to push boundaries and offer unprecedented products,” said Rob Telson, BrainChip VP of Worldwide Sales and Marketing. “By providing Akida’s on-chip learning and ultra-low power Edge AI capabilities as an integrated technology in MegaChips’ ASIC solutions, we are able to deliver a cascading array of benefits to cutting-edge products that not only ensure power efficiency without compromising outcomes but can run autonomously for incremental learning without the need to go back and forth to the cloud. This is an exciting collaboration from both a business perspective as well as from an industry-altering aspect.”
So this is a symbiotic relationship:
BrainChip has the Akida IP,
BrainChip has customers wanting to incorporate Akida IP into their products,
MegaChips has expertise in LSI ASIC chip production,
MegaChips takes a licence to incorporate Akida IP into ASICs,
BrainChip refers customers to MegaChips to produce ASICs including Akida IP for the customers,
MegaChips produces ASICs including Akida IP for BrainChip customers,
MegaChips pays royalties to BrainChip for the ASICs produced including Akida IP.
The last year or so has not been conducive to expansion in the semiconductor industry (government subsidies aside), but the MegaChips statement cited by @stuart888 shows that there is a backlog of chips to be produced and that it has been over 12 months in the pipeline. I suggest you stand away from the end of the pipe.
The Eu bail-out for Credit Suisse seems to have steadied the ship.

Wish I could get a bail-out everytime I stuff up an investment. Zero accountability for these banks who are supposedly at the pinnacle of the financial system. This is the same system that allows short selling.....Bloody disgraceful if you ask me.
