Come on brainchip, partner or even a new partner and dropped something massive in the next 24 hours and destroy some of these 70 million shorts outstanding.
buena suerte :-)

I haven't posted in a while as the forum gets rather toxic at times.
These podcasts at CES however do clearly tell me one thing - The team at Brainchip have listened to feedback regarding communication. These have been great little snippets of updates with a few partners. My favourite so far being Onsemi and Infineon.
I sincerely hope Nandan will be bringing Farshad's (Infineon) comments to Sean Hehirs attention ASAP. I emailed Tony to also follow up with Sean to hopefully benefit from valuable critique from Farshad.
"I have been involved with Brainchip for less than a year, or maybe a year so far...I've been interacting with the company in terms of learning their capabilities"
"it is very promising, I also think their are certain areas that you're not advertising as best as you could"
"Kind of underestimating yourselves"
I really hope the dot joiners can calm down a little and not dismiss posters where someone doesn't jump to the premature conclusions that some draw here without fact or announcements. I like this place and hate blatant downramping as much as the next well intentioned shareholder. But we are still VERY early on in partnerships with some companies from the sounds of it. And we clearly aren't advertising our full capabilities well enough just yet (one partners' opinion but they are in a better position to comment on this than any of us). Hopefully this is a very fruitful year for us and it sounds like a little traction may be headed our way.

Lol, yes that is my main goal here, you caught me out. You are like the Collingwood football club, either love them or hate them. (I am a Cats supporter in case you missed the point) Although I am aware you like the last word and try your best to belittle people, I will also respond because you asked.
"What I would like to know from you though as a person who runs a successful business why you have so readily leapt to the conclusion that Brainchip's executive staff are not successful business people who work to improve staff performance and counsel the staff member, contractor or even the cadet from one of the University programs responsible for the error?" (Jesus I hope not)
I did not imply the majority of what you have written here, but you love to try and play the wordsmith and bend the meaning behind the truth. The truth is, I have not once before commented on the typos that happened previously. My question was how many errors are acceptable? You call anyone that isn't happy with the situation a troll and go off on a rage defending the company by telling everyone to ignore the errors, look at the content.
The errors are small, but for my liking becoming too frequent so I spoke up. If someone lost their job over this or were hung, drawn and quartered then fine but that is the companies business, if they told anyone what happened, that would again be very unprofessional.
So is this the case? Is the company running in an unprofessional manner? Typos, the wrong photo, pretty basic errors, can happen, and what about inviting a few SH to have a private chat? In the eyes of some (especially the invitees) this was all above board and a non-event, but not all believe this and many voiced their concerns. Me, well I have met and spoken with many execs in companies I hold, so for me it wasn't a huge deal but I respected their view. The company seems great, that's why I have invested, but like some when do we start to question if the problem is not the tech, but the people? Here's a quote from a professional in the field just recently. "There are areas I feel you are not explaining or under advertising as well as you could".
So what is my point? People have other points of view, and you make it difficult to question anything, because you label them as trolls. TBH this place was much better without you, as your research while seemingly wonderful has proven to be worthless. Your timelines have been awful and your prediction for revenue and shareprice have been abysmal.
These are the true FACTS, but alas you still have this overpowering sense of superiority over all. If I had $1 for every time you've told us you're a retired lawyer and some shitty story about it then I would likely have had more revenue than Brainchip.
Why am I letting it out today? Because unlike you, I will leave this forum and no longer post. It is clear people cannot question management or the company here without ramifications from the BRN almighty retired lawyer!!! I'm thinking you were more likely a catholic priest, in all respects.
So good luck with your investment here Mr Retired Lawyer, I do note, you use this title frequently to try and have your minions in awe, but someone who is proud of what they have achieved in the small business world is considered worthy of ridicule.
To the rest of the holders, good luck, remember FF has been wrong in all of his predictions to this point, (but only because of outside influences remember ROFL!) so he's not your messiah he's just a naughty little boy. Look on the bright side people, only invest what you can afford, and as good as a stock seems, there's a reason people don't put all their eggs in the one basket.
Adios.

Rabbit's AI device crosses day 1 target sales by 20X
Santa Monica-based AI start-up Rabbit announced a second round of pre-sale following a whopping success in the first round.
Another edge ai device...akida possible?
Hi D&S,
Good to hear from you.
As usual, that introduction presages a tongue lashing/ear bashing.
This technology is evolving at such a rapid rate that we've met ourselves coming back.
Akida 1 is brilliant groundbreaking technology - digital spiking neural network system on a chip with special sauce (N-of-M coding), using spikes (originally 1-bit) and only activating when an "event" (a change in the input data) occurred.
Previously, the only practicable way of identifying objects in a field of view was with a software program implementing convolutional neural networks (CNNS), either on a CPU (quite slow and power hungry), or GPU (faster but proportionally more power hungry.
Mostly in academic circles, attempts have been made to implement analog (ReRAM/MemRistor) CNN in silicon, but the manufacturing processes and temperature variability have limiter the accuracy of such devices.
PvdM's genius was in realizing that digital NNs could avoid these inherent inaccuracies, and in recognizing the genius of Simon Thorpe's N-of-M coding and, just as importantly, how it could be applied in silicon.
This gave rise to Akida 1, a technology years ahead of the competition. The design is highly flexible, allowing for a few nodes (4*NPEs per node), up to a couple of hundred nodes. Akida 1 was applicable to any sensor (video, audio, taste, smell, vibration ... ) so that, with the appropriate model library, it could classify any input signal. Of course, you don't find model libraries just lying around, but there are open source versions available, and Akida 1 has the ability to learn new classes to add to the model on chip. In addition, BRN has developed its own in-house model library "zoo".
Akida 1 went through a couple of iterations based on customer feedback. Initially it has 1-bit weights and activations - lightning fast and anorexically power sipping.
Customers were prepared to forego portions of these advantages for greater accuracy and somewhat higher power consumption.
So Akida 1 switched to 4-bit weights/activations.
In addition, customers required the ability to use their existing CNN models, so Akida 1 includes CNN2SNN conversion capability.
BRN has been involved with a few leading edge sensor makers for some years - eg, Valeo for lidar, Prophesee for DVS event cameras, both of which are a natural fit for Akida's snn capabilities. But there is an infinite number of applications for which Akida 1 is the best solution, except for Akida 2.
Our switch to IP only made a rod for our own back, excluding all but those who had the odd $50 million laying around to invest in developing new chips. Not that this is an unworkable business model - ARM does nicely out of it, although it would like a larger slice of the pie.
So now we come to the stage where we are prepared to sell devices including Akida 1, not so much as an income generating enterprise as a capability demonstration of Akida 1 ...
... and, to top it off, Akida 2 blows the socks off Akida 1.
How many EAPs are primed to explode? - well. in all the excitement, I've kinda forgotten myself, so, go ahead punk, make my day!

nope you failed again…you did not find what I requested below;
“Now unless you can find any evidence that Akida will be used for processing data at the edge of the sensors in the CLA concept…..then all you have is ‘Hope’.”
….and the Award for the most “Hope Akida Inside”…..goes to BRAVO!!!

I don't know what I wrote that got such a rise out of you (or tongue lashing, as you so eloquently put it), or what the relevance to my post really is. I wouldn't be invested in a tech company that I didn't believe have fantastic technology.
My post was about a partner of ours critiquing the advertising of our capabilities to partners and how I hope Brainchip do take this feedback on board so we get more sales. Something I also sent to Tony because it's great feedback from Farshad. How is improving a function of the business that a partner provided feedback for, an inherently bad thing?? We want more sales, yes? Then we are on the same team.
Beyond that, dot joining can be fun, but it should not be taken as gospel and anyone who doesn't agree with a dot join shouldn't be berated because they have an opposing view. It's the very reason this forum becomes toxic at times.
It seems like you just wanted to chew someone out, or I'm on your bad side for whatever reason.
Hope this punk has made your day.
