BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Pom down under]

Hi Hoppy,

I had taken a nibble the week before the SPP was announced, but, thanks to the taxman's bounty, I'm in a position to take another small nibble, and will take some of the SPP.

I know there's a 10% difference, but, as you say, the money goes to the company in which we are invested - so, in a way, using thimble-and-pea logic, I can convince myself that I've still got the money (in my company) as well as the extra shares.

I think most of the long term holders are emotionally exhausted, but still exhilarated at the thought of what is to come, if it is possible to hold such an oxymoronic psychological state.

I was really hoping that the quarterly would have shown north of $500K from the edge box. Did they really have only 50 for sale?

I know that Akida 2 is 10 times better than Akida 1, but Akida 1 is 10 times better than anything else, and suitable for lots of battery powered edge devices, so, as I keep banging on, I thought that the Akida 1 baby should not have gone down the plughole with the bathwater to update a pre-plumbing saw. That was a wrench which upset more than the marketing department.

when the delay drags on my consciousness, I remind myself of the potential of Akida 1 and Akida 2 with TeNNs, and the fact that BRN has many EAPs and active partnerships.

Obviously, leading edge manufacturers like Mercedes would not want to be stuck with "old" silicon, and we know they are using software to process sensor signals in their "software defined vehicle".

As Magnus Ostberg told me on Linkedin in response to my query about the use of NN software in the CLA concept car's water-cooled processor - "Stay Tuned".

Based on this, and our long association, I have convinced myself that MB have been, and are, running Akida 2 + TeNNs simulation software for in-cabin DMS etc., for the last couple of years, and hopefully for process sensor signals, given that Valeo's SCALA 3 also comes with software for signal processing. It seems that this will continue into commercialization.

So I'm wondering if software licensing is a new string to our business model bow. That would be going full circle to Brainchip Studio, only now the follow-on hardware accelerator is TeNNs, to be included in silicon when the development has reached a suitable plateau.

Agree with everything you say apart from you taking a nibble at the SPP as I don’t know who in there right mind would do this unless involved in the company one way or another, but I’ve had my suspicions.

Gidday Dio and a happy Sunday to ya!

I have to agree that the length of this particular bit of string is sticking in many an investors craw.
And it’s unfortunately exacerbated by that one measure that many of us are fixated upon and that presently, and for the last couple of years, we all have our nose rubbed in daily. The share price.
And that same bit of rope attached to our hip pocket nerve which for many, is also associated with the parasympathetic partners nag reflex.
Not only do we need to balance our own oxymoronic psychological state, but also convince others who have access to slow effect poisons and rather faster acting multigrips, that it’s just a matter of time now, Dear.

But Sunday joking around aside, you are of course correct with your explanations of the progress made and the possibility’s potentially nearing climax.
It has certainly been a journey.
Happy to share it with you all.
Let’s have the $10 party at Laguna Hills.

Hopefully by then we might be able to afford the accomodation. Here's a place that even has a hot tub.

If we carry on the way we are going we might only be able to afford this

I think this might be more within our reach and possibly setting a pretty high bar at this stage of the proceedings.

Go back and listen to ep4 of the investor podcast for Q4 - 2023. Around the 21 minute mark, Sean talks about IP as the primary business model, and the allocation of resources and funds to diversify into additional revenue streams, i.e edge boxes.

Then says “spend judicially on the edge box and one other area we are working on right now”

Could be software… I haven’t picked up on any other hints as to what it could be since the podcast.

Just saw a couple interns at BRN while googling randomly as I do haha.

Can see Dhvani has listed some achieved value in process and sales team efficiencies via resume on git.

Thanks for the share. I will add a critical question. What did she Upsell lol wr as far as I'm concerned have sold nothing if we sell we would see revenue. So if I have 0 x 300 up sell I still have Zero lol

But does have an impressive GPA though.

Hope the sale was for this quarter !

HI FMF,

She is now actually an engineer at BRN got hired 6 months ago!

Hey Kachoo

Thanks for that and she must have added some value then and also enjoyed the work with BRN.

I read it that the GUi tool just helped the tech sales team with some efficiencies, increased customer engagement and natural flow on of upsell opps.

Would be nice though if there were actual sales though as you say.

Hi Kachoo,

Upselling could be from Akida 1 to Akida 2. Some "engaged" customer may have been tyre-kicking Akida 1 and she may have said "But you want more ...?"

This is quite an impressive CV for an intern - supporting sales team with web-based GUI tool, presumably to access the Akida 2/TeNNs simulation software. Could this be the seed of the cap raise to develop a web-based customer portal to access the Akida 2 FPGA?

Pytest is test software:
The pytest framework makes it easy to write small, readable tests, and can scale to support complex functional testing for applications and libraries.
https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/


The automated test with Pytest reinforces my confirmation bias that customers like MB and Valeo, who are using software to process sensor signals, could be using Akida 2 simulation software, and "reducing time-to-market" is the icing on the Raspberry Pi.

Going back to the pedestrian hackathon from late last year and I know @Frangipani (& others) posted quite a bit of digging on it and SPICES and Christian Axenie but I hadn't seen this video on it by Christian with Open Neuromorphic from mid January. Soz if it's been posted prev.

Def worth a watch through. Link bottom of post. Doesn't embed in post for some reason

Found it interesting that a number of questions posed online to the moderator for Christian were from Gregor Lenz (Neurobus) and now we are working with them as a partner with Frontgrade and Airbus.

He must have been impressed overall with the outcomes and possibilities of using Akida.

For any friends in Germany.

Can anyone have a dig around websites about Stadt Swabach (city?) for implementation or documents regarding same as at the 30 min mark Christian says they have engagement to install the system citywide there for testing I presume.

Didn't realise that Gilles Bezard (BRN) is a member and some pretty decent members to be rubbing shoulders with

Some other familiar members too.

There is a conference in Sept and couldn't see us individually presenting (didn't read all) but get the feeling Akida will be popping up.

Snips bottom of post.

Organisers – SPAICE

spaice.esa.int

With the Spaice conference itself I also saw that Gregor Lenz is presenting the paper that he and Doug McLelland of BRN authored.

EdgeX are also a poster presenting their work with COTS neuromorphic...wonder who that could be?

There is also a TCS poster who is part of the TCS Edge & Neuromorphic team as per a previous post. Wonder if we factored in it anywhere? May recognise some other names...Edge & Neuromorphic team: Arijit Mukherjee, Sounak Dey, Swarnava Dey, Abhishek Roy Choudhury etc al.

I would say, just ask him on X ? I think the chance you will get a response to your question is higher than here!

At least we assume he knows all about Brainchip??
