After listening to the Quarterly Update it seems that the AKIDA product portfolio now includes:
1. AKD1000 SoC
2. AKD1000 IP
3. AKD1500 Chip
4. AKD1500 IP
5. AKIDA 2.0 IP
6. AKIDA 2.0 TENNS IP
7. TENNS software
8. TENNS Pleiades software
9. VVDN AKIDA Edge Box
10. EDGX-1 Brain
11. (To be released) Unigen AKIDA Ai Cupcake Edge Server
12. (Under Development) Cloud based AKIDA FPGA Development Environment.
13. Models for Noise Cancellation and Keyword Spotting.
14. Optimised models for GENAi applications at the Edge including ASR.
My opinion only DYOR
Fact Finder
1. AKD1000 SoC – A limited run of chips was produced with no plans for further production. The chips did not generate significant revenue or sell and are now being repurposed for applications like edge boxes.
2. AKD1000 IP – Two IP licenses have been sold (Renesas and Megaship), and Sean mentions that ongoing engagement continues with others.
3. AKD1500 Chip - The AKD1500 is an accelerator reference chip, which assists partners in developing and demonstrating their solutions as a stepping stone to integrating the Akida IP into their production SoCs - It’s not meant to be a revenue stream (just like edge boxes).
4. AKD1500 IP – No licenses have been sold. However, it's worth noting that Megachip said on LinkedIn they played a role in developing Akida1500, which I found interesting, as it suggested they might have had an end client or their own use in mind.
5. AKIDA 2.0 IP – No licenses sold.
6. AKIDA 2.0 TENNS IP - not a product still in development.
7. TENNS software - not a product still in development.
8. TENNS Pleiades software - not a product still in development.
9. VVDN AKIDA Edge Box – It's not intended to be a source of significant revenue but rather to showcase Akida's capabilities.
10. EDGX-1 Brain – This is not a product; it is a partnership project being undertaken under a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with EDGX.
11. (To be released) Unigen AKIDA Ai Cupcake Edge Server – as per VVDN box
12. (Under Development) Cloud based AKIDA FPGA Development Environment.
13. Models for Noise Cancellation and Keyword Spotting.
14. Optimised models for GENAi applications at the Edge including ASR.
Items 12 to 14 are not products but are under development to support the IP being sold. Sean has repeatedly emphasised that we are an IP-focused company. Our current IP product portfolio available
now is AKIDA1.0, AKIDA1500, and AKIDA 2.0, and these are the products we are aiming to sell to reach
viability.
