The buyout would most likely be for a round number, such as US$5 Billion or greater. That would be a share price of AUD$4.15, and I would be ok with that

I think Rob liked everything to look busy lol but he seemed to spend far to much time online liking things instead of selling.Rob Telson Liked several Mercedes posts re the GWagon in the last 12 months
and there's this
BRN Discussion Ongoing
On Graimatter I was reminded of the parable of the Fox and the Grapes after reading his comment. Perhaps he is letting his backers/ investors know that they could have had a deal but it was not right at the time and so Prophesee partnering with Brainchip says nothing about his technology being...thestockexchange.com.au

There is no need to suspect it.
That is what they are actively doing and they are not trying to hide or be delicate about the fact.
They want us to vote in accordance with the BOD recommendations.
I have had similar calls in the past from various companies wanting to know if I will be participating in credit raising's, share price plans and soliciting my votes in favour of specific proposals at AGM's.
Nothing new or strange happening here.

Jinx almost same time. I told them I had already voted then they asked me if I had voted yes to the resolution?? I told them its non of their business what I voted. Bit bizarre she reckons she calling on behalf of Brain. (She gets the company right at the start but then said Brain)
Phone number was 0390663400 in case it was bogus. Don't think it was but I told her to mind her own business but wasn't really happy someone has hold of my private number

Just like James Brown.........the hardest working man in show business.
Sean (and the board) could learn from that.
Who is currently doing both Nandan & Rob's jobs.
They seemed kind of important.....(Nandan head hunted for bigger money)

So who received a call today, did you vote for or against last year? As it wouldn’t surprise me they are only calling shareholders that votes yes last year only.
No. I very rarely comment on the forum, but read every day. I have a substantial 6 figure holding and have held for nearly 5 years. I've not heard of a company doing this before. Takeover bid in the air?

Akida neuromorphic computing the breakthrough tech the world needs or lipstick.
If PVDM sells for less than $10 his net worth will be less than that of Kim Kardashian
and she sells Fxxken lipstick.
Who do you want to be Peter a Jobs or a Kardashian.
I know where my vote lies.

I just got my call at 5.30pm.
I told the caller that I was attending the AGM, but she asked if she could read her script anyway, which I obviously said yes. I confirmed my positive vote with a no at the end.
I tried to get some sort of feel for the feedback she was getting and if people were being kind. She commented that a lot of people were NOT forthcoming on their voting intentions and that many had not voted.
Firstly, I applaud the company for being pro active, and hoping the intentions are genuine.
Secondly, I appeal to holders to consider the big picture, I know too well how time as dragged out, believe me, there are things I want to do, that I can't, because of my decisions with this investment. As much as I'm frustrated, I'm still so very excited and pumped about the future.
I know the AI market is pumping, and good enough is probably still profitable for many.
They don't use "good enough" in the space industry where we are shining, and I think the beast is wakening. BRN is so much ahead of it's time.
Hang in there chippers, vote as you see fit, but Im all YES and finishing with a NO for a NO spill.
Have you ever seen so much commentary on BRN and the growth of the Ecosystem and partners??
I've got friend's going Macca, WTF??????. They don't do the research but have invested on chats that we have had. (probably over BBQ and too much wine, ha)
Genuinely I think we are close. I really don't see a down side, big picture. We either get licences and royalties a go go, or we get brought out at much higher that any of us have paid.
Ive been in and staying for the longer game, though keen to sell a few at maybe 2.50, to appease the wife, with travel and goodies galore, so the sooner we get there, happy days for me. (edit, not to suggest I have unhappy days, usually I don't, life is good !!! )
Enough of my ramblings.
Thankyou to all the posters, genuinely positive or negative, and fuck you to the blatant manipulators, or as Hopalong would say, the bastardo's

I've held for 7 years.
Had other shares where the board was under pressure and they went this route.
If only they could share more information with us........this might not be a problem...

BrainChip published a document noting that 2 nodes on 14nm running @ 1GHz speed, will perform at about 1 TOPS or Tera Operations per second (or one trillion operations per second). 256 nodes will scale up to 131 TOPS. Higher clock speeds can be used if you scale to 7nm, so theoretically, it could be above 131 TOPS. Keep in mind that this supported 4-bit activations, whereas it seemed that demand was for up to 8-bit activations.
In a cursory look, I didn't find the performance measurements (in TOPS) of the AKD1000 processor and reference board. However, it is important to note that the manufactured chips were 28nm, and from Anil's presentation, contained 20 nodes (a total of 80 NPUs) in its neural fabric. He noted that this could run two or three different networks depending on the application.
Now Akida 2.0, according to this article, scales up to 128 nodes and 50 TOPS. This is a guess, but I wonder if the scalable support for up to 128 nodes (half that of Akida 1.0) is due to allowing 8-bit activations.
There was an interesting article on TOPs and why it is important for AI. They cite the speeds of various other processors (assuming they are accurate), such as Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite NPU running at 45 TOPS, and Intel's Lunar Lake CPUs with an NPU running at 45 TOPS. They also point out that a larger TOPS number is not necessarily better if the NPU is tuned for a specific task at a lower number of operations per second. BrainChip can run with the big dogs, yet they don't get the attention they deserve.
The article also quotes another Tom's Hardware article that points out that next-generation AI PCs will require about 40 TOPS of NPU performance. This, of course, is something that Akida 2.0 could easily accomplish if tuned to do this task. While targeting the Edge market, it seems like Akida could have the opportunity to participate in the next wave of AI PCs if they play their cards right.
