Amazing, thanks for keeping an eye on that Tech!

Edit hey @TECH how did you find the page?
The shop only shows me the previous offerings?

 

[Cgc516]

The question is how many were ready for offering?

Next ...month

Another report, this time from major business and technology news outlet Reuters, has claimed that NVIDIA will be supplying a custom-designed chip for Nintendo’s next console. It comes as NVIDIA is reportedly in the process of building a new business unit dedicated entirely to creating custom chip solutions for different computing and technology firms.

Not having enough product does not strike me as a good thing.

When will new product be available etc.

Have to keep potential customers engaged.....sold out is not what they want to hear. IMO

Hi DB,

Going ubiquitous will take time.

If we are working with ARM, Intel, Nvidia, Tata ..., they have in-house NN expertise and may not need too much support, but providing the support they need will be critical to success.

Then there are companies like Valeo, Prophesee, etc, who have a fair understanding of NNs, but not to the same level as the first group, so they will need additional support. We have joint development projects with many of these.

After them, there are those who understand the advantages of NNs, but do not have any real in-house expertise, and these will require much more support.

BRN will no doubt be guarding against spreading itself too thinly, as it would be difficult to find sufficient staff with the requisite expertise. The BrainChip University program will in time go some way to addressing the shortfall and spreading the skills throughout industry.

I haven't seen any more recent employment numbers or the breakdown of tasks since we hit about 80.

A lot of the support work will be in providing appropriate data models for the customer projects. This may involve converting existing CNN models to SNN (CNN2SNN), and tweaking these models for the specific purpose, or it may involve producing new models which is a quite intensive undertaking.

When we achieve ubiquity, the customers will be producing their own SNN models.

Hi @Diogenese
Don’t forget that MegaChips spent the best part of 18 months having a select group of its engineers brought up to speed by Brainchip before coming out of the woodwork so they could hit the ground running with their customers. (Brainchip even said customers who needed assistance would be referred on by them to MegaChips because of this training.)

Additionally the VP of Socionext said they looked forward to assisting Brainchip to commercialise the full AKIDA product family and because of their work to assist Anil Mankar with the design of AKD1000 they must be very switched on to how it works and it’s implementation.

Then TATA Consulting Services clearly have a group of engineers and data scientists who having worked with Brainchip closely since 2019 at least also have a significant depth of knowledge and practical understanding.

Finally there is Edge Impulse whose platform’s purpose in life is to facilitate customer uptake of Brainchip AKIDA IP.

Brainchip is definitely not facing ubiquity alone with a torch, screw driver and soldering iron.

In one word ECOSYSTEMS are CRITICAL.

My opinion only DYOR

Hi Charles2

Being sold out in the semiconductor industry is not like in retail.

The majority of sellers work to a just in time model. You order and they build. This is why the chip shortage occurred automotive had not placed orders and the demand to set up work from home as a result of Covid saw all the foundries tied up with orders to produce for laptops, PC’s etc;

No one at the wholesale OEM level carries inventory.

If I read the Brainchip website correctly they are taking orders and shipping in April.

Not sold out: "Wow what a bad look, no one wants it"
Sold out: "Wow what a bad look, potential clients won't be able to get one"

[TECH]

The question is how many were ready for offering?

The answer to that loaded question is, one we don't know that information, and two, whether it was 2 or 50 is doesn't matter at this
point, remembering that VVDN Technology is also supplying (offering) this product to it's customers, or another point is, how many
AKD 1000 chips were actually available in the first place, but as the company has already stated, it's main objective was to get more
of the technology into individuals hands not to be a revenue marker, as we the company are still first and foremost an IP provider.

I'd also suggest the players whom have the deepest pockets got hold of one, the companies that will eventually drive Brainchip to
the top of the food chain with our 1% + market share (sarcasm)...just my opinion based around your question.

Regards.....Tech.

Here is a wild thought.

VVDN are the makers of Edge Boxes for Nvidia and Qualcomm and others. This kind of gives them a bit of knowledge about the Edge Box market and demand.

Brainchip has never made an Edge Box or sold one let alone one with a revolutionary neuromorphic chip as the power house.

What does Brainchip do in those circumstances? I don’t know maybe ask the expert VVDN how big should we make the first production run.

VVDN says well based on our past sales of other Edge Boxes we think you should order ‘X’ number. Okay says Brainchip.

VVDN produce and ship ‘X’ number to Brainchip.

Sales explode. VVDN apologise to Brainchip saying we never expected a reaction like that the market just loves them we can give you another slot just give the word.

Just a wild thought as I said.

PS: Major companies like AMD and Nvidia sold out of GPUs when CHATGpt exploded. The selling out of GPUs made Sam Altman a tech legend (and very rich).
