I agree that something isn't working. We have revolutionary technology but after several years of availability no one since Megachips has signed on the dotted line for it. This certainly isn't what the company was expecting either (remember the explosive sale and exponential growth presentation at the AGM circa 2020 or 2021?). I'm not sure what the problem is but is it that the IP only business model isn't' working? I don't know what the answer is but I don't think anyone back in 2021 expected that halfway through 2024 we'd be sitting in the 20c range. I'm still expecting the company to get there but I hope that at board level some serious discussions are going on about why things have not worked out the way we thought they would to this point and what the road to success now looks like. We need to get traction or our 3 year advantage will be squandered and we risk being left behind.It is very difficult to understand from a laymanâs prospective that BRN wasnât chosen if we are three years ahead of everyone else ?. I am struggling to understand what the problem is as clearly something isnât right or am I missing something ?.
I too expected to be living a little better than when I started this BRN journey.at have the deposit on my Island paid in full.i am afraid it looks like we are going to be left behind instead of being the the leader.âCome on BRAINCHIPâI agree that something isn't working.

Maybe Akida isn't that much better than what different companies can do themselves?It is very difficult to understand from a laymanâs prospective that BRN wasnât chosen if we are three years ahead of everyone else ?.

Maybe companies don't want to take the risk of of developing a product with a small company that has no industry investors. eg TATA or Softbank or Valeo.Maybe Akida isn't that much better than what different companies can do themselves?
If they can save money on a IP contract deal and still sell their own product, I am pretty sure they will go in that direction.
The TENN technology is still in the baby stage but I have some hope here.
If no deal is signed this year, it's starting to look very bleak IMO but we been promised so ...................!
But, it opens the door to a huge player grabbing BRN for themselves. Apple are always talking to hundreds of suitors for new implementation and those conversations will have been happening for years. What also happens with Apple is that their licences preclude suppliers selling their tech to anyone else. They claim certain rights over them and confidentiality is just one. So, do you fulfil your company's potential with one single huge client or hundreds with potentially a far larger ultimate audience creating greater ROI?

There are a few reasons.I agree that something isn't working. We have revolutionary technology but after several years of availability no one since Megachips has signed on the dotted line for it.

The conversation on a podcast recently about Chiplets seemed to me to be a good idea, but wether it is currently in play or not is a complete mystery . It does seem to be a gap between the IP only deal and the chiplet idea of an off the shelf BRN integrated design within a partnership but what would I know.I agree that something isn't working.

I don't think that will be a problem but the survival of the company depends of some big players starts using the technology.Maybe companies don't want to take the risk of of developing a product with a small company that has no industry investors. eg TATA or Softbank or Valeo.
Elon wasn't impressed!
Inbetween 2 and 3, you left out the Ukraine War, which began in February 2022 and led to the sharpest rate of interest rate rises, from May 2022, in Australia's history (14 interest rate rises to the highest in 12 years).There are a few reasons.
1. As you say the change of business model set back commercialization by a year or two and put the hockey sticks on hold.
2. Covid set the world back a year or two.
3. Then just when the green shoots of Akida 1 were beginning to show, we ploughed that back to plant Akida 2.
On the plus side:
A. Akida 2 in software simulation has been available to EAPs for a couple of years (see 3 above).
B. TeNNs is a whole new kettle of fish.
B. There is a rumour that some EAPs are moving to using Akida 2 simulation software commercially while Akida 2 silicon is finalized (Mercedes, Valeo, ...).
C. Edge Box is a powerful self-contained plug-and-play commercial/industrial system monitor demonstrating the prowess of Akida 1 which should generate some income this quarter.
D. The general AI zeitgeist.
E. The newly discovered enthusiasm for edge AI.
F. BRN's burgeoning ecosystem.
G. The pressure on the von Neumann processor makers to become truly AI-capable and save the planet.

Hasn't stopped some competitors from signing deals and making substantial gains in their share prices............Inbetween 2 and 3, you left out the Ukraine War, which began in February 2022 and led to the sharpest rate of interest rate rises, from May 2022, in Australia's history (14 interest rate rises to the highest in 12 years).
It was the single most depressive event, in recent history, that has had lasting consequences and couldn't be "stimulated" out of, because of all the stimulus already made, causing too much inflation.
All major economies, had these sharp interest rate rises, after years of excessive accomodative stimulation.
Covid, ended up being a boon for investments.
The Ukraine War, not so much..
This hampered new business, around the World and especially for businesses treading completely new ground.
Risk aversion was very high.
I think the biggest thing, preventing actual "sign on the bottom line" proposals now, is how fast technology and developments are happening and progressing.
The software approach hypothesis, you have with Mercedes and Valeo, gets around this, but at some stage silicon has to be a better option..
I still believe deals will be forthcoming soon.
Competitors with neuromorphic technology, or competitors with legacy technology?Hasn't stopped some competitors from signing deals and making substantial gains in their share prices............
