Might be a show of support for something else..
If this man doesn't become the 47th President of the United States of America, we, collectively, as in the World, are marching into deeper doodoo, in my humble opinion..

If this carries on all week I could be squeezing the top off my own bottle of bollinger
As a foundation investor, I sincerely hope it’s our time but I have seen the same pattern each quarter. A massive pump at the pre 4C followed by a speeding ticket (probably organised) where management then has to respond with “there is nothing to report” and a subsequent dump. What we SHOULD say is that “the blatant manipulation of our stock should be countered with investigation by the ASX into these illegal practices and followed with prosecution”. Not going to happen but the dream is there IS something to report. Go BRN and my average price is 14 c for the benefit of the bloke who thinks everyone is underwater.
And apologises to all, have paid over $1 for many of them so are no cleverer than the next person just lucky to have found this amazing opportunity earlier. Good luck, our time is coming.

I loved that series.What a great bump in the share price to wake up to while on holidays in EuropeMakes my wallet hurt not quite so much
If any of you are looking for a great tv seriesto watch see if you can find the highly acclaimed "Halt and Catch Fire". It reminded me so much about our journey with BRN over the last few years and things to come.
Here is the overview:
Three people come together to build their own computer, which can usher a revolution in the world of personal computers. In the course of doing so, they have to battle various other corporates.
I've mentioned it to a few in Perth already. Hopefully they got around to it
Onward and upward tomorrow let's hope

So the two of them worked together on “the AWS project”?! Interesting…
Presumably AWS as in Amazon Web Services?!For all we know, Chris Jones could have alluded to an Aussie-style Weet-Bix Stacking challenge that ex-Perth resident Anup Vanarse had introduced to the US-based BrainChip staff after moving to California…
(Alternatively AWS could stand for Automatic Warning System (train safety system), Autonomous Weapon System and lots of other things…)
Assuming we are indeed talking about Amazon Web Services here:
Could this LinkedIn comment possibly be a reference to a small LLM having been or still being developed by our company, in order to be made available through AWS, eg via Amazon Bedrock?
Currently, however, they refer to (large and expensive to train) foundation models only:Speaking of AWS and “projects”:
Less than two weeks ago, AWS introduced “in beta a new generative AI-powered personal assistant for sellers, codenamed Project Amelia.”

Launching today, this personal AI assistant was built using Amazon Bedrock and offers tailored business insights to boost productivity and drive seller growth.

Whenever AWS comes up, I can’t help but think of a potential “connection” to them by way of Ron Diamant (formerly at Annapurna Labs, which was acquired by AWS in 2015), who I have reason to believe is the son of Mauro Diamant, BrainChip’s sales representative in Israel.
Playing private investigator tends to be immensely time-consuming, but can be soooo rewarding, when you manage to discover an hitherto unknown link or finally find that missing puzzle piece you were looking for…
Today I discovered another connection between AWS and Brainchip, namely via the Israeli Diamant family! A gem of a connection, so to say, as the Jewish surname Diamant means “diamond”.
Mauro Diamant, as we all know, is the GM of IPro Silicon IP Ltd, which in late June was announced as Brainchip’s sales representative in Israel.
Now enter my sleuthing and conclusion:
His son Ron, who - just like his Dad - graduated from the renowned Technion - Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, happens to live in California and works for AWS as “Senior Principal Engineer and Chief Architect for Inferentia and Trainium”, AWS’s high-performance machine learning chips:

He was one of the first seven employees of Israeli company Annapurna Labs, which was acquired by AWS in 2015 and actually plays a major part in AWS’s success story - here is an interview with one of their founders:

Nafea Bshara, AWS vice president and distinguished engineer, discusses Annapurna Lab’s path to silicon success; Annapurna co-founder was a featured speaker at AWS Silicon Innovation Day virtual event.www.amazon.science
View attachment 41835
After AWS had acquired Annapurna Labs, Ron Diamant relocated to California and has impressively climbed the career ladder ever since… See his bio above.
Some of you may wonder how likely it is that Mauro and Ron are indeed father and son.
Well, rest assured my claim is not totally unfounded and isn’t merely based on the fact that they are both from Israel and share the same surname.
I chanced upon this Oct 2020 interview with Ron Diamant, reposted by none other than Mauro Diamant himself, who congratulates him and says how proud he is of him!

20 min with leaders - Ron Diamant
Mabruk Ron for a lesson in leadership, for the demonstration in actions of the very best side of the Israeli character, and for showing AWS as a great organization. Proud of you!www.linkedin.com
During the interview, Ron mentions he used to work for (now defunct) semiconductor company Zoran (that’s where Mauro started his career as well) and later mentions that he consulted his father on whether to join the newly founded start-up Annapurna Labs: “I also went and talked to my Dad. My Dad works in the field, and he knew all these folks and said: ‘Thumbs up from me! I know these guys, and these guys know what they are doing. Go for it!’ ”
(from 8:16 min)
And last but not least I found this genealogical record online:

So I’d say it is highly likely that Mauro and Ron are indeed father and son. They also resemble each other optically. Feel free to check with either of them directly.
This postulated family connection could in fact be one of the reasons why Mauro Diamant was selected to represent Brainchip in Israel; mind you, I don’t mean this in a negative way at all (along the lines of nepotism); on the contrary, it is excellent to have first-hand references by experts in their field, even though Mauro is obviously an expert in his own right, with a decades long strong background in sales and business development in the semiconductor industry in Israel.
Although in my eyes the design of IPro Silicon IP’s website leaves much to be desired…
Or maybe it was the other way round and Mauro was actually the one who got AWS in touch with the Brainchip team via his son?
At any rate, almost a year ago, Ron shared the below post which links the AWS Inferentia chip he helped design to AWS Robotics that in turn now appear to have links with Brainchip through ANT61. We are all somehow connected it seems.

I’ll leave you with this glowing praise of Ron that will have made his Dad immensely proud yet again, and rightly so. What an impressive achievement!
Wonderful to have connections like this in the extended Brainchip family…

It doesn't seem very professional, that Chris Jones would just casually drop mention, of a Company like Amazon Web Services, in a "Goodbye" message..View attachment 70066

Especially when such a project would most certainly be under a NDA?..
If it was representative of some other abbreviation (such as your example of Automatic Warning System) then you would still not expect it to be used, because of a possible confusion and implied "connection" with the well known AWS or Amazon Web Services..
Just saying..
"I really enjoyed our talks and working with you on the projects. Good luck on your journey" would have been more appropriate..
I'm betting this comment will be edited, whatever the "reality" is..

Speaking of Mauro Diamant - I just revisited his company website for the first time in months, mostly to check whether it still had that eclectic mix of nature photos (it does!) that one wouldn’t exactly expect on a website describing itself as the “virtual Stop-for-Top shop for best-in-class digital IP in Israel”.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Mauro Diamant remains the sales representative of BrainChip in Israel - strangely, though, the IPro Silicon IP website no longer mentions our company at all…
Instead, the logos of two other companies are now prominently displayed next to that of SiFive: Baya Systems (the company that came out of stealth in June and where Nandan Nayampally is now CCO) and Xiphera. This trio is referred to as being IPro’s “leading vendors” - which suggests IPro actually represents more than three IP vendors - but weirdly the reference to “groundbreaking neuromorphic intelligence” seems to point in the direction of Baya Systems, not in ours?
“IPro provides a comprehensive suite of IP solutions, including cutting-edge IP technologies from SiFive, Xiphera and Baya.” This statement also suggests there are more than those three vendors to choose from.
Scrolling further down, however, it sounds as if those three companies are the only vendors that IPro currently represents in Israel?
In Mauro Diamant’s LinkedIn profile, which suggests he still represents BrainChip, Baya Systems is not (yet) listed - as for Xiphera, his profile states he became their sales representative a few weeks ago… Another update incoming?

Just reposting that thumbnail image of yours in full size, as it reveals the name of a new demo on the right monitor as well as on the info leaflet next to it:

It says: “LLMs on the Edge with RAG” resp. “LLM with RAG on Akida”
I googled RAG, which means “Retrieval-Augmented Generation”.
Retrieval-augmented generation - Wikipedia
en.m.wikipedia.org
“Retrieval augmented generation (RAG) is a type of generative artificial intelligence that has information retrieval capabilities. It modifies interactions with a large language model (LLM) so that the model responds to user queries with reference to a specified set of documents, using this information in preference to information drawn from its own vast, static training data. This allows LLMs to use domain-specific and/or updated information.[1] Use cases include providing chatbot access to internal company data, or giving factual information only from an authoritative source.[2]”
Video uploaded earlier today, showing that new LLM-RAG demo presented by Kurt Manninen at the September 2024 Edge AI and Vision Alliance Forum:

Be more careful with the daily movements here. Market makers determine the price. 1m shares are 'nothing' (€143k) compared to the parent market.
"Enger Markt" - tight market (?), so everything is a bit distorted.

And you buy shares of one stock on a stock market not stocks. It would be like - I by Stöcke. In the case of the ASX it's more like a bazaar and not a supermarket.)

Jörg Conradt’s closing remarks were:
“So I believe there will be significantly more smart devices with very new technology around us very soon.”
