Exactly. WHY!
I was wondering that too. Don't companies have trust in BrainChip and therefore try to avoid us? Is that why we have such a hard time being successful in income?

Yes, spot on, that is exactly what I thought and I would never have believed we would have gone this long after that without an announcement. We can only hope that something will come soon. It would be such a boost to everyone.

The nature of NDA’s is they are intended to preserve commercial confidentiality for both signatories until such time as they agree to make disclosure, or are required to for regulatory reasons.
In the case of our EAP customers and other commercial partners, NDA’s help to preserve competitive advantage in a highly competitive global market where there are good commercial reasons for keeping secret what technology they may be trialling or considering.
Being a trusted and reliable commercial partner is an important aspect of Brainchip’s relationship with all our commercial partners and EAP customers, and that particularly extends to respecting and abiding by the terms of commercial agreements like NDA’s.

Yeah, feels like we are well and truly due some good news.
I could do with some excellent news right about now.
Some news that explodes our share price to new highs would be most welcome.

Hi all.
Tony Dawe said "Happy for you to share on TSE. Please show your question and my full reply to ensure context"
Hope this helps all with the recent change by BRN management moving away from LDA funding model.
Note -
1) I removed some personal details and Tony's mobile number from the emails below with XXXXXXXXXX.
2) It is also my understanding that the latest capital raise BRN put in place appears to be a good move given there is a 12 month restriction on trading the institutional placement shares. I'm happy to be corrected if this is not the case.
cheers

Hi Tony
Can you or Sean confirm if LDA refused or would not support another further funding deal to support BrainChip moving forward until BRN revenue model supported itself. It just doesn’t appear to line up with my recall on what was said at the recent AGM by BRN management team.
Pending comment on the above, Is this why BRN management team sourced funding elsewhere in the meantime?
This has been an ongoing discussion with a number of retail investors in recent weeks so it would be good to hear it directly confirmed from BRN management.
Hear from you soon
Kind regards

Hi xxxxxx,
Thank you for your email.
In response to your question, BrainChip and LDA Capital parted company on the very best of terms. We remain open to doing business with LDA Capital in the future, and vice versa.
The LDA Capital funding model was outstanding for Brainchip for a period of time. It provided relatively small parcels of funding quickly, easily and cheaply, and when the share price was higher, with minimal dilutionary effects.
But the LDA funding model wasn't set up for the purpose to raise larger amounts of capital.
We selected Unified Capital Partners to help secure the institutional placement and SPP after an extensive process of consultation, review and evaluation. As part of this process we met with the institutional investors who participated in the capital raising. Our commitment to UCP is not exclusive and does not prevent us from doing business with other financial institutions.
BrainChip is obligated to its shareholders to seek out the best funding options it can for its business, to promote growth and to ensure the company remains fully funded at all times.
At the risk of telling your something you probably already know, investor chat rooms are notoriously unreliable places to gain investment intelligence. I hope when you and your friends online discuss our funding arrangements, that you acknowledge that the terms of the recent placement, including minimising the discount rate and converting all the unexercised LDA Capital shares through the placement were exceptionally good outcomes for BrainChip.
Regards
Tony Dawe

Hi Chips,
From the context, I think they were referring to the fact that they switched from Loihi 1 hardware to Loihi 2 simulation software, not that they had decided not to continue with Akida.
I wonder if they will also try out Akida 2.

The established players, or Big fish aren't going to fold to what is currently a small fry, just because it has the "potential" and qualities we do.
But I believe we are making progress, by the Company's sheer determination, to succeed and the unquestionable brilliance, of what we have.

RISC-V guardian SiFive unveils new chip designs for low-powered AI at the edge
BY MIKE WHEATLEY
Open-source semiconductor design company SiFive Inc. today unveiled its latest chip design blueprints, the SiFive Intelligence XM Series, saying these are the first based on its RISC-V architecture to include a highly scalable artificial intelligence matrix engine.
With the new blueprints, SiFive says, companies will be able to accelerate the development of RISC-V-based chips that are customized for AI workloads in data centers, autonomous machines and at the network edge.
SiFive was founded by the inventors the RISC-V instruction set architecture in 2016, with the goal being to commercialize and popularize its alternative chip format. Instruction sets are a collection of technologies that can be used to build central processing units. They describe the computing operations that the millions of transistors on a chip should carry out.
The company is a rival to the better-known Arm Holdings Plc, which also builds designs for CPUs, mostly focused on mobile devices such as smartphones. In addition to its chip designs, it also sells software for customers to design CPUs that implement them.
The biggest difference between RISC-V and Arm is that the former’s designs are entirely open-source, which means companies don’t have to pay licensing fees to use them.
SiFive’s architecture is used by numerous companies as the foundation of chips for AI workloads, internet of things gadgets and data center servers. The company cites a number of advantages for companies using its instruction sets, aside from the fact they’re free. For instance, they provide greater flexibility in terms of being able to customize the designs for different workloads, it says.
The new Intelligence XM Series instruction sets provide what SiFive says is an extremely scalable and efficient AI compute architecture that integrates scalar, vector and matrix engines, which are necessary to perform millions of calculations per second. They also provide extremely high bandwidth, the company says, while maintaining the high performance its customers are used to.
For instance, the new chips contain four X-Cores per cluster, with a single cluster able to deliver 16 tera operations per second of processing power. They also incorporate one terabyte of sustained memory bandwidth per cluster, accessible via a high-bandwidth CHI port for coherent memory access.
According to SiFive, the Intelligence XM chip blueprints are ideal for organizations that need to run AI on low-powered devices, such as IoT sensors, autonomous vehicles, robots and drones.
Chief Executive Patrick Little said the new designs will enable companies to keep pace with the rapid evolution of AI while maintaining the unique benefits its open processor standard provides. “We’re already supplying our RISC-V solutions to five of the ‘Magnificent 7’ companies, and as companies pivot to a software-first design strategy, we are working on new AI solutions automotive to datacenter and the intelligent edge and IoT,” he said.

For those into unfounded speculation ( like all of us)
gameranx.com
Notable changes from the original Switch include a USB-C port on the top and bottom of the console, a noticeably larger screen and what appears to be an extra bumper on each Joy-Con. The game slot appears to be the same on both models, implying backwards compatibility with games on the original Nintendo Switch.”
On the same thread, a separate leaker shared the purported specs for the console. We’ll share those details below:
That means these two rumors independently corroborated the specs of the console, but just so we’re clear, let me explain what each source is.
The information from four months ago was acquired by dataminers reviewing publicly available information on what components were being shipped to a factory that they believed would be manufacturing the Switch 2.
The information today is claimed to come from factory workers who have the console in their hands.
So, if these rumors are accurate, the CPU is the T239, using the GMLX30-R-A1 codename. There are 2 6 GB RAM chips, running LPDDR5X at 7500 MT/s. There is 256 GB in UFS 3.1 storage.
Now, its easy to get flabbergasted that everything that just got confirmed. What fans speculated then seems truer now, that the Switch 2 will have substantial hardware improvements over the original Switch. But we want to bring up something else that could get lost in all this information. If workers are leaking the prototypes in the factory, than they really are that much closer to manufacture.
All of this may force Nintendo to speed up their announcement of the Switch 2 even sooner than was originally planned. If everything about the device’s hardware has come out anyway, than is there really any point in staying on schedule? Unless there’s something about this device that is not visible even on the prototypes. As we had pointed out, they claim that what they’re leaking are prototypes, and not what is believed to be the final product.
We can’t end this by pointing out that even with this supposed corroborated information, it’s possible that these leaks are a well organized hoax. We don’t even have proof from these new leakers that they are who they say they are. We can’t help being excited ourselves, but we also have to be open to the possibility that this may all turn out to be wrong in the end.

I too have suspected for a few yrs now that large amounts of money already invested in R and D by the big players has played a part in our being “ignored “
When products are still selling well when updates are added to an existing, well liked item, it’s so much easier for them to continue on the same track. (if it ain’t broke don’t fix it attitude)and cruise along to recover money already invested.
Combined with the fact that we don’t seem to have the knock out combo needed to make these Companies understand, sit up, and see the absolute need to move to take the leap to new innovative Edge technologies ….yet.
I hope we are being introduced to their Rand D programs albeit slowly to enable the millions already invested in the pipeline to be recovered first, our turn will come, just hope I’m around to see it.
It will just take one.
I’m sticking fat.

I agree with yourself and Tech it has been a long wait but the number of engagements for all of AKIDA 1000, 1500 and GEN2/TENNs gives me confidence we are getting reasonably close.
One deal and we will not see these prices again.
The other aspect that gives me confidence is that according to Sean prior Institution holders took stake in the raise and they know BRN well.
