BRN Discussion Ongoing

IloveLamp

Top 20
My goodness. I had heard how the debate in this place had evaporated. Then there's the eerie/smug digs at another platform.

Dropped into see if others had been called. I think this is a terrible waste of time and money. It is outsourced but needed to be discussed and outcomes discussed.

After 9 years I am voting for a spill.
I don't believe you are as big a moron as you make out to be

Holding onto what I've got
Good Morning,

EDIT to clear up confusion: As previously noted #83,325 by Diogenese...the edge Box has 2x Akida SoCs and an NXP 8 Quad processor.

*****

So, my now opinion below is, as we can assume NXP and Brainchip know each other, I think we can assume the eIQ has Akida's architecture built in.

MCX N Series Microcontrollers​

MCX N series of highly integrated Arm Cortex-M33 microcontrollers are designed for high performance and low power consumption. MCX N includes intelligent peripherals and on-chip accelerators providing multitasking capabilities and performance efficiency. Select MCX N families include NXP's eIQ® Neutron neural processing unit (NPU) for machine learning applications. The low-power cache enhances system performance, while the dual-bank flash and full ECC RAM support system safety and offer an extra layer of protection and advanced security. These secure MCUs include our EdgeLock® Secure Enclave, Core Profile offering a secure-by-design approach, secure boot with an immutable root-of-trust and hardware-accelerated cryptography.
Speed up development time for general-purpose Arm® Cortex®-M-based products like the MCX N series with

eIQ Neutron Neural Processing Unit (NPU)​

The eIQ® Neutron Neural Processing Unit (NPU) is a highly scalable accelerator core architecture providing machine learning (ML) acceleration. The architecture provides power and performance optimized NPUs integrated with NXP's very wide portfolio of microcontrollers and applications processors.
Optional system-level components such as tightly coupled memory, DMAs, data mover cores, control cores and weight compression decompression technology for optimal processing throughput.
The eIQ Neutron NPUs offer support for a wide variety of neural network types such as CNN, RNN, TCN and Transformer networks and more. ML application development with the eIQ Neutron NPU is fully supported by the eIQ machine learning software development environment.

CAVEAT for those with Schwab accounts who own BRCHF

As you may know Schwab has bought out TDAmeritrade. The last of the accounts were switched over this past weekend.
I discovered today (before pulling the trigger) that the Schwab fee to trade BRCHF was $50 US. The Ameritrade charge had been $6.95. I am having a discussion with them now.

Bad news.....no flexibility so Adios Señor Schwab

Any suggestions from fellow BRCHF holders to guide my move?

Addendum: One is able to trade for $6.95 BCHPY (equals 40 shares BRCHF) but the spreads need to be intelligently dealt with for best financial outcome.
You're not alone. I have always purchased my shares through Fidelity, and every time I buy shares in a single transaction, I have to pay a $50 foreign transaction fee. This led me to wait to save a few paychecks to spread the cost per share out over that fee, as it was akin to having a $5 ATM fee to withdraw $5 cash. This was frustrating because I couldn't catch the dips in the stock price to improve my dollar cost average.

For a brief period, this fee was waived, but that was back when BrainChip supposedly had DTC eligibility. Apparently, they were no longer eligible after a few months, and the $50 fee was reinstated. Fortunately, I managed to get a reasonable amount of shares during this period.
I had inquired about them trying to get DTC eligibility again, but it seems that it was not a priority for them to resolve.

An alternative is to buy the ADRs on the OTC Markets (if available through your broker), which don't have a fee to purchase. One ADR represents forty (40) shares of BRCHF. The only caveat is that you do not own the underlying shares, and have no voting rights for the shares as they are owned by the bank that issued them.

I wish you luck, and if you find a decent broker that can beat that $50 fee, please let me know!

Edit: I forgot to mention that if you want to look for the ADR on a different platform, it is under the OTC market symbol BCHPY.

@Diogenese
What are your thoughts on this.
I read the term MAC's, which I think you often say is not us, but the rest sounds so much like us.
Is it only the term SNN to be believed?
I get so confused with this stuff, apologies if a dumb question or asked before.
cheers

Why not just cut straight to the point and tell us that you want the share price to tank, so you can buy more shares?🥴

I have also been in for 9 years and I could not think of anything worse than "voting for a spill".

I mean IMO I would be kissing goodbye my 9 years of investing in a company that I totally believe in ..As frustrating as it has been, I think we really are so close to GREATNESS!!...... Why would anyone serious about their investment want to create financial ruin by this action!

None of us know what is happening behind closed doors? A deal or two could be in the last stages of getting finalised???

Could you imagine if there was a spill and CEO's of companies we could be dealing with then turn around and say hey the deal is off until we see some stabilisation back within BRN.........back we go !!!!!!

I know we all have our own reasons and thoughts for our own investment strategies but personally I will not let my total frustration with the company at the moment get in the way of the 'Big picture ahead' ....I am very bullish on what is ahead for our Akida... 'Second to none technology'


My thoughts

Good luck Chippers

Couldn't agree more Buena Suerte, a spill is not in the interests of shareholders at this point in time and I would urge other shareholders to vote against it. There are many other ways to make your feelings known to the company than to take this potentially damaging route. If you have concerns the AGM is a chance to ask questions of the company and that would be by far a better way to approach the issue without any of the risks that a spill involves.

I've been doing a bit of research on what SoftBank is up to in regards to it's AI ambitions and have discovered that on 4 August 2023 SoftBank announced it had launched a new company to research and develop homegrown Large Language Models (LLM) specialized for the Japanese language. The company is called SB Intuitions and it will also develop, market and provide generative AI services.

Hironobu Tamba will lead the new business, SB Intuitions. He was a long time Softbank employee who has most recently been running the company’s AI and IoT division. Whilst he was at SoftBank, Hironobu was involved in the collaboration in 2017 between SoftBank and a company called Inuitive. Below is an excerpt from the collaboration announcement.


Screenshot 2024-05-16 at 10.42.17 am.png



Inuitive is an Israeli fabless semiconductor company that develops advanced vision processors for edge devices, notably the NU4100 vision-on-chip processor is the third generation of Inuitive's vision processors series and is ideal for robotics, drones, VR, and edge-AI applications that demand multiple sensor aggregation, processing, packing, and streaming. It is specifically designed for XR headsets, robots and other applications that sense and analyze the environment using six, eight or more cameras, as they make real-time actionable decisions based on that input.

Interestingly enough, around 7 months ago, our SBD in Israel, Mauro Daimant "reached out" to Dor Zepenuik and Yaron Rashi in relation to Brainchip's 2nd Gen Blog. Dor Zepenuik is Founder and CTO of Inuitive and Yaaron Rashi is System on Chip Architect/Engineer at Inuitve.

BTW, I don't have any idea how long SoftBank continued with its collaboration with Inuitive, maybe it's still ongoing today, but obviously Hironobu Tamba is aware of Inuitive, having worked with the company previously.


Screenshot 2024-05-16 at 10.40.52 am.png





Hironobu Tamba, whilst he was at SoftBank wrote this Case Study on Vantiq, which is all about making the Port City of Takeshiba, Tokyo the smartest city in the world. As you can see, he is very interested in edge computing.

Make of all of this what you will, but for me, I think it's very clear that, as recent reports have suggested, SoftBank is intent on capitalising on the AI wave and there does seem to be a focus on edge computing, smart cities, automation,, etc basically all areas in which our technology would be a perfect fit.

Totally agree GDJR .....Lets hope for some resolve at the AGM so we can all move onwards and upwards to huge successes awaiting us!! :)
