BRN Discussion Ongoing

I remember a guy at HC that said he would drink a beer for every cent that Brainchip rose.

Anybody who knows if he survived the spike above 2 AUD? :D
I'm not sure the standard liver can handle 164 beers in 20 days, averaging 23.4 beers a day :D

That's an easy answer .......... his wife of course !!! :) :)
Smart wife!

I'm dragging my feet and scowling when I admit that he may do more good at Brainchip than in this forum.

It may not be the case that more iterations mean no one will buy it. The way I see it, when they said Akida 1000 was never meant to be a revenue generator but a demo chip, what happened was that they invented a ground breaking, earth shattering chip but there was no application for it. They have EAP's with the tech and money to try it out and when they said "this does not work" or "it would be btter if this would happen instead" type of things and Brainchip put all the bug fixes and enhancements in AK1500 and the more fundamental changes into AK2000.

I believe that cash is not coming in for AK1000 but with AK1500 for the more run-of-the-mill stuff and AK2000 for the more advanced stuff like deep space, star wars and medical applications, revenue can be explosive. The question now is when? Hopefully before some tech giants come up with a better alternative.

I am just a bit frustrated with the moving of the goal post. We saw no big revenue in 2022 when we were told to watch the financials and now it looks like nothing worth mentioning in 2023 as well.

I guess that is the risk of investing in something so new, it may take much longer time than originally expected to identify and build the applications.
I believe the context is that the actual "chip" was not meant to be a revenue generator. They did not have an enormous amount of the chips manufactured, and those they did manufacture were put into the devices sold to EAP partners, evaluators, and developers.

The AKD1000 IP is still a very viable and marketable commercial product. MegaChips and Renesas have licensed it for their products and customers. BrainChip spelled this out long ago on the roadmap shared at the various technology and investor conferences.

NVISO makes its human behavior SDKs available for the AKD1000 platform but also demonstrates substantial performance differences between BrainChip's technology and more well-known competitors.

My point is that it was not a "throwaway" first pass that was never intended to be a product; quite the contrary. Yes, neuromorphic is still quite a new concept in AI hardware and will require adoption. I imagine the first adopters are making neuromorphic sensors, such as those for vision processing. More will follow over time.

In the meantime, it makes no sense for BrainChip to stop working on its second-generation technology influenced by other companies whose interest has now been piqued. I imagine they will be treated to architectural improvements that will provide the functionality required to fulfill their vision while providing enhanced performance for specific applications.

There are plenty of applications that can be fulfilled using 1st generation Akida architecture.

Yes, exactly, Department of Homeland Security tested Akida 1.0 and saw it favorably against nVidia a100. They then described that they use a 3D model, which I believe Akida 2.0 TENN could handle (as I understand it can either handle 3D or 2D temporal data?). They also had to make a work around to make it run on 4 bit, now Akida 2.0 has 8 bit which may improve the situation. Maybe the direct sensor input of Akida 2.0 would prove to be the solution? Plus Akida 2.0 has more NPU's, so can handle a larger model and is faster.

From my point of view, nVidia should even start to get slightly concerned about their datacenter market.

And I don't see some of them here now.
Looks like the LDA deal is finished after all. Funny how the timing of all that works.
All these podcasts and talk of trillions, all these talks about explosive revenue, imminent contracts and interesting times....
What's interesting is a commercial product such as akida is selling lesser than a research piece such as loihi.
Forget trillions, hopefully BRN makes more than 5 million revenue this year. I know a 20 million market cap company on ASX which made nearly 5 million revenue last year.
Hopefully by 2025... and then when 2025 comes we can move the post to 2030.

Trading activity or the LACK of it today especially after yesterday afternoon trading would seem to suggest that LDA have completed their PUT.

My GUESS is these CXXT trades are possibly shorts closing out slowly.
I also believe that most of the "SHORTS" held are for "Hedging purposes" by the Big Instos against their long holdings. Some smaller shorters exist which gives us that varying daily "shorts" being taken out. IMO

11:30am until 01:00pm has the ASX showing 99% trades being "Cross Trades" ie:CXXT and mostly only 1 >25 share trades.
Volume total ASX is 1.2 Mil for 3 hours of trading.

If this is the case the we can expect BRN announcement of close of LDA PUT with the amounts/$ values etc. Maybe this afternoon??.

Hi Yak, I don't look at the above trading as having anything to do with "shorts"

My take is that the above is classic "bot" trading - small trade parcels working to an algorithmic pattern toward a quantitative design, which in itself is pure market manipulation.

I don't see a relationship per se between bot activity and options trading. If any of the instos who deploy bots were found to be running options trading related to their quantitative analysed algorithms, they would be in deep trouble legally. However I would be very interested to know where legal boundaries lie with regard to any relationship with options trading campaigns and bot trading (HFT) actually sit, I believe ASIC and ASX should make this relationship clear.

Shorts or Put trading is done in contracts, usually a contract is for 100 or 1000 of the underlying (in this case BRN), it is the same with the other most common options strategy a Call (buying options contracts looking at an increase in SP).

Thusly options traders can play the market going up with Calls or going down with Puts.

You cannot just go to a trading platform or broker that I am aware of, and ask to borrow some shares for the purpose of shorting or going long. You look up options chains, you have to buy contracts (not just random numbers). Options trading is complex, and it is also risky if you don't know what you are doing, there is always someone on the other side of the trade, it is certainly no walk in the park - as I see so many posts here indicate.

This is not personal at all Yak, I see so many posts on here re shorters which IMO indicates a clear lack of knowledge about what is involved in trading options.

I may post re the LDA deal later (if I can find time) because I believe that it is not well understood here, this is in part because the wording of the announcement itself does not clearly elucidate what the LDA arrangement actually constitutes. To be perfectly honest I find the wording and terms used unusual.

This forum is really slipping again due to the negative nellys.

Some people really aren’t mentally prepared to hold shares in a speculative company. Which Brainchip still is - it’s entry into the ASX200 was premature and due to a great plug by Mercedes. But Brainchip is a speccy.

Where anyone “feels” like Brainchip should be by now is irrelevant. It always goes back to having a plan. Take responsibility for your own investment. Whining here does nothing and the same whingers rarely contribute anything beneficial.

Why pay a membership for this forum, I can get whinging for free from the Mrs.

There's of course always the general short funds, that just short broadly:

B.t.w., interesting that if you click into ROBT an AI and robotics fund, they own more Brainchip than they own nVidia:
