might be catching a falling knife, but I'm in for more shares today.
shorters can get in the bin.
I would have waited for 37c but that number hurts my soul after the last time it was that low.

Warning: Brainchip shares are being highly manipulated! Retail selling, institutional buying. Do your research or get shaken out. This is a once in a life time opportunity for generational wealth. This is my time, if only I had money to buy more at these prices.

Just stand back and reflect on what is happening right now.

- No debt
- Money in the bank for 2+ years
- Multiple partnerships with tier 1 and Fortune 500 companies
- Partnerships intending to produce product with Akida technology with their customers.
- Brainchip has delivered on every promise from R&D, testing, commercialisation strategies and partnerships.
- we have two known sales Renasas and Megachips
- Renasas releasing chip this year, and that means revenue and royalties
- still engaged with all previously mentioned NDAs at various stages in their design cycle (100+ nds )
- we have about 12 EAP that have had access to Akida for roughly 2 years
- brainchip has released Akida 2.0 based on customers requests (if satisfied I’m expecting IP deals)
- we are going to space January 2024
- Company keeps expanding with world class leadership and employees
- we are building rock solid foundations and are now ready to build up!
- new information comes to light almost every day about the use of Akida etc.
- yet price is pushed lower and lower every day. SOMETHING DOESNT ADD UP!

Time to buy and hold.

I have something for the tech savvy to answer. SNN models work on converting input data into electrical spikes with that spike indicating to the model whether that data is significant or not. I know that our hardware is able to process these spikes in a native SNN model or a CNN2SNN converted model with limited or no need for an external CPU. I’m not sure though what is going on if someone only licences the IP. Are they licensing the design of our hardware to intergrate to their hardware or are they licensing a software only version of our process in which case I’m not sure how it can process a SNN model. I guess what im really asking is what the difference in licensing the IP block or actually integrating our physical chip.
Hi TI17,

The Akida IP licence gives the licensee the right to use the silicon circuit layout in incorporating Akida into a chip design. While Akida is capable of performing inference/classification without participation of a processor, a processor is necessary to configure the NPU/Node connexions (the layers of the NN) and load model libraries/weights. However, an Akida IP licence is a 'bring-your-own" processor. So if the licensee chooses to match Akida with an ARM processor, they will need another licence for the ARM processor.

A software version of Akida is provided with MetaTF so a prospective customer can run a simulation of Akida in software.

Hi appreciate the response. Can you please confirm for me then that’s there is nothing preventing someone from receiving the full capabilities of AKIDA by only licensing the IP?

Me too. If LDA can not sell at or above the minimum price set by BrainChip then will they have to give them back? And how long do they have to sell them?

If my memory serves me correctly I remember PVDM faced a similar situation when he entered an agreement to sell shares for charity for alzheimers. My memory is not quite good enough to remember the details.
In my opinion Brainchip has a number of choices:

1. Ask for the unsold shares to be returned;

2. Instruct LDA Capital to hold on to the shares until a further call is made;

3. Revise the floor price to permit LDA Capital to conclude this call.

The thing is as Blind Freddie pointed out LDA Capital could well have finished selling already as they only had 30 million to sell and if the floor was 50 cents they could easily have finished in less than 30 trading days from 11.1.23.

The reporting of the outcome would be done in the upcoming 4C due out end of April.

My opinion only DYOR

The promise to myself to not look at price was broken today... once more WTF... Also no money in kitty after Europe trip and upcoming Melbourne trip...

But the value of my stock in super went way below 20%, so I got some room to add more there...

Don't worry be happy. it will turn... (or do we all have stockholm syndrome at this point, with BRN being the kidnapper... who knows :D )

Not sure I understand the question, but Akida IP incorporated into silicon on its own will not work. It needs to be connected to a processor (MCU, CPU, ...) to configure the NN and to load the weights. The Akida IP does not include a CPU/MCU ...

Only the Akida neuron Fabric and the conversion complex and apparently the DMA I/F are covered by the Akida IP licence.

I am quite certain that Ken would have his finger well and truely on the pulse and push for the most favourable financial outcome for the Co ..... I personally however, would love it if both Tony & Ken could put some pressure on the powers to be, to release a positive ASX announcement now if at all possible so as to cause the S/price to rise somewhat and renew s/holder sentiment and to also cause some concern for the shorters and/or manipulators.

I’ve come to the same conclusion. Who has the most to gain on HC forum with increased posting and views. At best forum owners TMH are culpable bystanders and at worst are intentionally interfering and manipulating to drive up views which in turn benefits them when selling ads and valuing company.
When BRN has its share price breakout, I'll be shorting the he'll out of TMH.

This is the case for AKIDA 1st generation but seems not so for AKIDA 2nd generation or am I wrong:


Add more intelligence to manage complex networks directly in hardware. Akida extends it’s ability to process multiple layers of the network simultaneously with the support for long range skip connections. This allows more complex networks like RESNET-50 to be processed directly by Akida without CPU intervention. This makes the execution faster. The support for 8-bit weights and activations to go with the existing 4,2,1 bit support helps add broader coverage”

Hi, thanks. So the AKIDA IP with a CPU will be able to run a SNN model as power efficiently as having the SNN module run on the PCIE card?

The ONLY THING i can think of in this position is, Brainchip are staying well under the ASX Board's radar by staying quiet "Not making any fluff" because, we are Closer than some think to a Full Nasdaq Listing....Only our Management know the full reasoning so i'll go with their silence "Sometimes...Silence is Golden!$$$", into our Future Together.

Nicely and precisely explained, your post will certainly help shareholders understanding improve.

Great stuff.

I think you might be confusing the "value" of a company purchasing the IP, as opposed to the chip..

The IP is not a "soft" version of the chip, it's what "makes" the chip.

The net revenue to us, would be pretty much the same, whether they purchase a chip from us, or pay IP royalties per chip.

The customer pays more for the chips, but we're outlaying the money, to produce the chips..

Selling the IP, our costs are just employee and IP development related.

Don't underestimate the value of an above 90% margin business plan.

Sorry in advance, if I misunderstood your concerns.

We wouldn’t even be eligible for a Nasdaq listing, and we’d get eaten alive on there too. I have spoken to Tony about this last year and he said that he believes that there is more value to extract from the ASX before considering listing on the NAS. I stand by this conversation.

The company only has itself to blame for this declining SP by locking themselves into NDAs that prevent the release of (alleged) testing, openly stating that the SP will do what the SP will do, and not meeting revenue expectations or signing more contracts.

Until these items are actioned I expect more pain. Honestly they need to wake up.

Hi FF,

I haven't seen the circuit details for Akida 2, but I think it would almost certainly need to cooperate with a third party processor for configuration and weights. It may also need the processor to be programmed to be involved in some of the fancy new features.

Hence the M85 validation - it's a 2-way street. Akida 2 can do the heavy lifting (classification/inference ...), but it needs to be configured under the control of the processor, and may also need the processor to participate in ViT/TENN.

I do recall that for some feature (CNN2SNN?) there is a small % o (~3% ?) of processor work involved in the processing of Akida 1.

1679544217468.png

As I said previously, I can't wait for the book patent to be published.

Edit: As I was about to say before I was rudely interrupted by an internet drop-out, Akida 2 does not need a CPU for skip connections (but it needs to be configured before doing them!?):

The Akida neural processor has the ability to handle multiple layers simultaneously which is an important feature. It now adds support for short or long-range skip connections in the neural mesh or in the local scratchpad. Skip connections reduce degradation (ResNet) or future usability (DenseNet) of the network and are usually handled by the host CPU, and are now handled directly by the Akida neural processor substantially reducing latency and complexity. So networks like ResNet50 are now completely handled in the neural processor without CPU intervention.

Some excitement to look forward to:
TENNs is a BrainChip invention.

TENN https://brainchip.com/akida2-0/

Temporal Event-based Neural Networks (TENNs) are lightweight, energy-efficient neural networks developed by Brainchip that excel at processing temporal data. TENNs offer state-of-the-art performance using significantly fewer parameters and address the low-power requirements of Edge based devices that need to support larger workloads.

So obviously, no one else has a rank-coded digital SNN capable of implementing TENNs the way that Akida does with much less memory.
