Does it mean prophesse approached Qualcomm after they were convinced about a complete solution with help of akida.I've had an interesting email exchange with Ken Scarince that I thought you might be interested in. I sent an email to the company as follows and had the following response:
The questions I asked in my email were:
'1. Why are Renesas not mentioned on the Partner page? Do we still have an IP Licence agreement with Renesas?
2. The partnerships: Is there a written partnership agreement with each of the partners? If not, how do we protect our IP and profit from the partnerships once products are developed?'
The Response from Ken Scarince was:
'Thanks for your note. I received your investor relations inquiry from our sales team.
We do indeed have an active IP agreement with Renesas. They are not considered an ecosystem partner, rather they are considered a customer. We define partners as companies or institutions with whom we collaborate on designs or applications using our combined technologies as opposed to a customer where we simply license our IP to them and they incorporate into their products for sale. And yes, we do have a written partnership agreement with each partner that very clearly defines who owns what to prevent any IP “pollution”. Typically, there is little risk of IP issues arising as the goal is to create something that requires a customer to purchase or license the core products from each partner. In some cases, the partners simply use our products to demonstrate the capabilities of their products when combined with Akida. But in any case, it goes through a thorough legal review process'
This means that we have a partnership agreement with each partner and that the goal is to develop products to on sell to their customers. As I suggested in an earlier post, this seems to be consistent with my view that the partnerships were really a way of getting companies on board quickly with Akida without the up front cost of an IP Licence. It also means that when the joint products are produced, they potentially have a ready customer base with our partner's customers. I think this puts in context the commercial purpose of the partnerships and makes you realise just how significant they are. It also means that we have products being developed by multiple partners now. Imagine what is going to happen when all the partners are ready to sell the products to their customers. It makes you start to think that in due course all these partnerships are potentially much more commercially significant than they might at first appear. (I don't wish to reopen the debate about whether they should have been announced on the ASX - no one will care about that when all the products are being sold in the market and the $$$ are rolling in)
That will also mean prophesse can partner with Qualcomm and akida is also in picture even when partnership is between prophesse and Qualcomm.

Yes, I thought it was interesting that he answered me in the way he did regarding to sharing it. I told him that it’s lucky that he wrote to someone who respects that, as there is nothing stopping many other people from sharing from your correspondence on an email.

I didn’t leave the conversation feeling much different from before the email. I still strongly believe Brainchip is well positioned to succeed, but there wasn’t any particular enlightening new information regards to my questions that hasn’t already been shared before. I strongly encourage anyone that are worried to open that conversation with Tony themselves.

I have a couple questions for you, TheFunkMachine.
1) After receiving his confidential reply do you remain invested?
2) After you received his confidential reply did you sell any shares?
3) After receiving his confidential reply did you add to your position?
Regards, dippY
The FunkMachine ........ maybe you should have signed off as " FF " on your email and you might have received a totally different response to same ?? !!!
Obviously the Co imo doesn't want to formally communicate / respond or disseminate information on a equal basis nor on a level playing field with loyal and LTH shareholders ....Thus the ongoing Co stance of the " Cone of Silence " treatment..... imo, so much " fluff " raised / implied previously from the Co implying that they did care about us s/holders and the support we s/holders have previously provided over the many years ............ imo, what an insult and a slap across all our s/holders faces for being so trusting and obliging ..... Oh and by the way, they still want their increased remuneration approvals from us shareholders for the upcoming AGM ??!! .......... SHAME, SHAME SHAME !!!!

Hadn't seen this Nanoge conference earlier this year. Just popped up in a search.
Not about Akida but is about our type of AI and is good to see what Huawei think of neuromorphic. Positive thoughts.
Though, they indicate in the abstract they are still playing with analog....maybe they'll wake up at some point
Trusting the other telecoms etc are starting to get their head around it and think the same way.
When I see Huawei and neuromorphic linked, I got back to the eX3 independent program that was using Akida in HiSilicon KunPreng 920s & what gets shared

Abstract
Neuromorphic computing is widely regarded as a constraint that increases AI efficiency but trades off proficiency, such as accuracy. However, this separates neuromorphic use cases from mainstream AI, into niches where proficiency is not crucial. To the contrary, our recent work [1-5] shows that neuromorphic mechanisms do not constrain but rather they expand and improve mainstream AI in conventional measures of proficiency, while also improving efficiency. Specifically, we show that neuromorphic algorithms can outperform the state of the art of the broader, conventional machine learning field, beyond neuromorphic niches, in classification accuracy, robustness, inference speed, learning speed, and task reward. We show these in tasks such as keyword spotting, ImageNet classification, playing Atari games, controlling robots, many of which are usually out of reach for neuromorphic models. We test these in settings of online adaptation, supervised, unsupervised, self-supervised or reinforcement learning, meta-learning, and non-backprop-based deep learning.
This is achieved by exploiting also other biological mechanisms than spikes. The biological mechanisms that we employ include spikes, Hebbian plasticity, short-term plasticity, and efference copies. The algorithms remain suitable for efficient neuromorphic hardware, and include a new method for decreasing the power consumption of weighting operations in analog synapses. Based on these results, we propose that exploiting the breadth of neuromorphic mechanisms, besides spikes, in suitable applications, is a path towards making neuromorphic the mainstream type of AI computing.

Whilst this is from early 2022 I personally hadn't seen it before (though others probs have) and has a section on Quantun Ventura and the US Navy.
Kinda liked what they specialise in haha and also a certain strategic development partner...hmmmm

Good weekend read.
Balanced article about AI and international regulatory concerns. No easy answers......fraught dominates my outlook. And I generally consider myself an optimist.

Yeah I felt a bit the same at first but then you've got to consider that this isn't a closed forum and anyone worldwide can see what is posted here. Bearing that in mind it is prudent for our company representatives to be cautious when responding to specific questions.The FunkMachine ........ maybe you should have signed off as " FF " on your email and you might have received a totally different response to same ?? !!!

If we want to be accepted into the 'big boys' club with Merc and other multi-nationals then we need to prove that we can act appropriately and in a manner that can earn their trust. Sharing information with unknown shareholders on a public forum is not the way to do this and could damage our reputation and chances for success.
Sean in the last podcast said that once you get your foot in the door with these companies it often leads to decades long engagements, that's what our team are trying to achieve.
I still hope that we get some enlightenment from the AGM and feel more secure with our investment thereafter.
Thanks for sharing.
It's in TD and the company's best interest to answer these questions so that it can be disclosed to all shareholders.
TD would hate answering the same questions repeatedly and I would hate to see inconsistencies in their answers based on individuals.
Transparency is essential to us shareholders.

Good morning all,
On reading a number of reply posts to the Funks earlier post regarding email correspondence with Tony, lets please just shut down
this subject.
Tony is highly educated in Corporate procedures, enjoys working for the company and knows the damaging consequences of straying
from his job description, yes he is obliged to answer all and any questions, despite the frustration of having to repeat himself, having to
cop totally unjustified, disrespectful abuse from individuals whom think that Tony is the companies punching bag when things appear
on the surface to not being going the way that they as shareholders believe is in the best interests of the company as a whole.
If, what the Funk has stated in his initial post, I'm 100% sure Tony was just offering a reassuring response, nothing more than that.
Whether in the past the odd comment has slipped through to the keeper is open for debate, but I can personally reassure you all that our company has tightened up on all Corporate procedures, and practices so as not to expose our company to any action that may totally derail us at this most critical point in our journey.

Purely my own views on the subject, have a pleasant Sunday.....Texta

Yes for sure Tech, Tony does cop a lot of repeat abuse and in my opinion he well and truly deserves his paycheck for both protecting our Company and calming the nervous nellies too! Vlad.Good morning all,
