Hi Frangipani, I received the quoted paragraph below as part of a reply from BRN to a question I had.Is it?
Hi manny100,
I presume you meant to say commercial neuromorphic Edge AI solutions rather than commercial Edge AI solutions in general? But even then, your statement is incorrect. SynSense also offers commercial neuromorphic solutions by now, and so does Innatera:
See this article dated February 6, 2024:
“Innatera, a spinout from the University of Delft, has grown to 65 people with recent funding from the European Innovation Council (15.5 million Euro) alongside Matterwave Ventures and MIG Capital. Commercial samples of the T1 and hardware evaluation kits are available now while the T1 will ramp to production quantities in the second half of this year.”
After Mercedes Chief Software Officer Magnus Östberg had posted “Neuromorphic computing? We’ve got that. ” on LinkedIn earlier this year, I noticed Innatera’s CEO Sumeet Kumar commenting on his post, and subsequently two neuromorphic researchers at Mercedes liking Sumeet Kumar’s post, so those in the industry involved in neuromorphic tech are evidently aware of the choices they have besides implementing Akida. Of course all those neuromorphic solutions available differ from each other in various aspects - Innatera’s T1 spiking neural processor, for example, is not digital and does not have on-chip learning:

The BrainChip website and LinkedIn profile reflect this development by no longer talking about offering the only commercially available neuromorphic processor, but by using the term ‘first-to-market’ nowadays:
“BrainChip’s first-to-market, digital neuromorphic processor IP, akidaTM, mimics the human brain to analyze only essential sensor inputs at the point of acquisition—processing data with unparalleled performance, precision, and reduced power consumption.”
Whether or not Akida is the overall best neuromorphic solution available is an entirely different matter. But to say it is “an indisputable fact” that BrainChip offers “the only ‘cloudless’ commercial solution ATM” is simply wrong.
I do agree with you, though, regarding what you said about the BRN share price:

The crucial word that BRN uses is "unique" which means one of a kind or unlike anything else.
The context of the quote is in relation to my query concerning 'cloud' or 'cloudless' AI at the Edge.
"We know the market is heading in our direction, and the ability to process data on The Edge is something that more and more AI applications will be expected to perform. In that case, we are uniquely positioned to capitalise on that trend."
I just asked whether they had considered having a 'switch' on AKIDA for cloud or cloudless use during the transition to cloudless Edge. No interest in that. Seems to me we are to close to worry about it.
Cheers, manny100
