"has not been a licensed agreement with Mercedes Benz signed yet"Hi Tothemoon
I highly doubt that AKIDA is in these new Mercedes models as their has not been a licensed agreement with Mercedes Benz signed yet.
Wasn't it stated that the new MB system would be released in 2024 and that imo will be our big year.
Ok so the silence on AKIDA being utilised might not be solely because of NDA's but simply because no one has yet employed AKIDA in their products (in a commercial sense anyway). Or perhaps they are really close to letting the cat out of the bag after prolonged R&D. I wonder if our management team can shed any light on licensee numbers, progress etc. Surely they are updated through the licensees.I'm keeping a low profile on here at the moment but I will say one thing.
I did have a conversation with Tony Dawe in my hiatus and his direct quote to me asking about companies purchasing licenses through third parties (such as Megachips) was this:
"It seems highly unlikely that a customer of one of our licensees would keep its use of neuromorphic AI a secret for very long.
Such a company would almost certainly use the employment of Akida neuromorphic IP as part of its marketing pitch to attract customers by differentiating its product from its competitors".
So hopefully, the floodgates are released soon and we hear of a number of products utilising Akida.
"has not been a licensed agreement with Mercedes Benz signed yet"
You can't say that as a a fact TasTroy, only as an assumption, on your part.
For my part, I'd bet money, that one of the licence agreements secured by MegaChips (which we've received funds for) was with Mercedes.
It would be great if they would provide that information but I don't see it being forthcoming.Ok so the silence on AKIDA being utilised might not be solely because of NDA's but simply because no one has yet employed AKIDA in their products (in a commercial sense anyway).

It's not about being stand alone, it is likely Mercedes needs MegaChips's help, to integrate the BrainChip IP into their A.I. solutions (remember, that they have also just helped BrainChip, with the backend design of AKIDA1500).Hi DingoBorat
No I can't but for Mercedes Benz to be branded on the Brainchip website one would think that they are a stand alone not through Megachips or Renesas.
Man I would love to be totally wrong believe me.
Wow pretty good first attempt at a mini ChatGPT with a domain of just this website or is the Brainchipinc website? Anyway, it stumbled on my first question - I asked it ‘What is JAST?’ and it said (paraphrasing) that this website contains no information about JAST? A little disappointing but that’s why you want the feedback I’m guessing.I am thrilled to share my latest creation with you! I've developed an AI-powered Q&A application that can be used on any website, and I've chosen the Brainchip Inc website for the purposes of this demo.
You can access it through this link: https://tw.zeebot.org/web-crawler/brainchip/.
I know the demo might be a little slow, but please bear with me! This is just a temporary issue and is a result of the early demo/prototype nature of the app. I wanted to share it with you as soon as possible because I'm so excited about what it can do.
As early testers, your feedback is incredibly valuable to me. Please don't hesitate to share your screenshots, comments, and suggestions with me. It will help me make the app better and ensure that it meets your needs as users of my Q&A type application.
My app crawls any website in full to provide you with accurate and up-to-date information using advanced language AI.
There's no setup required for any company that would like to implement it on their website, or as a live chat, or email responder, or anything else you can imagine! It's like having an extremely knowledge personal assistant, sales, or customer care agent who never sleeps.
It’s only limited by what has been published on the website.
So what are you waiting for? Give my app a try and join me in the excitement of the future!
Best regards,

It's not about being stand alone, it is likely Mercedes needs MegaChips's help, to integrate the BrainChip IP into their A.I. solutions (remember, that they have also just helped BrainChip, with the backend design of AKIDA1500).
Remember from the Strategic Partnership agreement with MegaChips.
"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"
Now sure, Mercedes could licence the IP directly from us, or they could licence it through the party designing their ASICS (assuming it's MegaChips).
Same same really, but makes more sense, just to do it through MegaChips.
"Hey there MC, we've just licenced BrainChip's IP, which you already have a licence to use, can you design our chips, using said IP?"
The above doesn't sound like a likely scenario..
Remembering, that regardless, Mercedes has to pay the licencing fee, for our IP and any other IP, being used.
We know Mercedes is not shy about mentioning us, so it's not for reason of keeping the association under wraps, as it "may" be with other companies.
@Foxdog's and @alwaysgreen's wish for a disclosure of the number of licence agreements, through MegaChips (or Renesas, but they only licenced 2 nodes) is a Great idea and someone should ask it at the AGM, or even through Company channels.
I don't see any reason at all, why such a figure, couldn't be revealed?..
Nice to read that again.Whie we're talking MegaChips, a quick refresher:
BrainChip (ASX:BRN) clarifies MegaChips contract revenue arrangements
ASX News, Technology
ASX:BRN MCAP $768.6M
Josh SmithEditor, Companies & Marketsjoshua.smith@***************.com.au25 November 2021 11:22(AEDT)
Processor maker BrainChip (BRN) has opened green on the ASX today after releasing some revenue forecasts relating to its MegaChips deal announced earlier this week.
- BrainChip (BRN) opens green on the ASX after releasing some revenue forecasts relating to its MegaChips deal announced earlier this week
- Brainchip on Monday announced the deal to license its Akida tech to external MegaChips customers and today breaks out of a trading halt to provide more contract details
- As it stands, BrainChip is expecting to table aggregate revenue of US$2 million (A$2.8 million) through to December 31, 2022, under the MegaChips deal
- However, the company says many potential revenue streams — such as royalty arrangements and proof-of-concept project fees — are not yet quantifiable
- Shares in BrainChip open 5.6 per cent higher at 66 cents each this morning
The company on Monday announced it had struck a deal with Japan-based semiconductor specialist MegaChips for an intellectual property (IP) licence over BrainChip’s Akida processor technology. Under the deal, MegaChips can integrate BrainChip’s tech into external customers’ system-on-chip designs for a licensing fee and royalties arrangement.
Today, BrainChip has broken out of a trading halt to announce some additional details regarding the revenue arrangements around the contract.
The company told investors some terms of the MegaChips agreement were subject to “strict confidentiality provisions” between the two companies, meaning some aspects of the deal are still shrouded in mystery.
BrainChip said it was expecting to table aggregate revenue of US$2 million (A$2.8 million) through to December 31, 2022, under the MegaChips deal. However, the company said some potential revenue streams under the contract were not yet quantifiable.
For example, on top of the standard licensing fee, BrainChip also stands to pocket royalties on the sale of products using the Akida technology to MegaChips customers.
The royalties are to be calculated as a percentage of the net sales price of products that have been designed and manufactured to include the Akida tech, though the percentage will be based on the volume of products sold.
Further, BrainChip said it was charging license fees for application-specific product development and project fees for proof-of-concept projects with MegaChips customers.
On top of all this, BrainChip expects to receive payments for support services and software licensing associated with its Akida IP.
While the nature of these additional potential revenue streams means accurate revenue forecasts might be difficult, BrainChip said in any case, the MegaChips deal was “highly significant” to its growth strategy given the access the agreement gives BrainChip to MegaChips’ global customer base.
There has been a lot of speculation about whether we would get 10 cents or 30 cents royalty per product, but, apparently in the MegaChips deal, it is a percentage of the sales price of the product, on a sliding scale, ie, the more the customer sells, the smaller the percentage.
As an example, assume there is a high volume $10 product and a lower volume $100 product.
So, according to the sliding scale (set according to volume of sales), if it's 2% for the $10 product, we get 20 cents a product, whereas if it's 3% of a $100 product, we get $3 per product.
Remember, these are just example royalty rates and sales proces, not the real thing.
Apparently, this is the model to which ARM wishes to move.
PS: What's 2% of a Mercedes?
This makes a lot of sense considering that one would expect our ex-Arm employees to hyper-extend the Arm model. Arm is working on something very similar according to recent news...Whie we're talking MegaChips, a quick refresher:

I think we still have to have a single unit price figure to work out exactly what the revenue would be on say a % product sale price.The average Mercedes is $76,590 USD.
Mercedes Cars Become More Elusive After 43% Jump in Prices
Driving a shiny new Mercedes-Benz may soon become a distant dream for many but the most affluent.www.bloomberg.com
@ 2% = $1531.80 USD x AUD.
View attachment 33026
ANSWER: 2% of an Average Mercedes is $2302.83 AUD. X 2 Million cars.
The answer: Just a little over $4.6 Billion
Mercedes-Benz Cars: unit sales 2023 | Statista
Mercedes-Benz Cars, the Mercedes-Benz Group's passenger car manufacturing subdivision, sold over 2.04 million vehicles in 2023.www.statista.com
Time will tell.....if the dreams are alive.

Licensing revenue is $4,049,889 USD
So an extra $2 Million + in licensing revenue are additional to Renesas and MegaChips.
Could it be Mercedes?
Could it be Lasson Peak?
Could it be more?

Thanks Xray1.I think we still have to have a single unit price figure to work out exactly what the revenue would be on say a % product sale price.
For instance : say a low priced Merc uses only 200 sensors whilst a high end Merc may end up using say 1,200 sensors
