BRN Discussion Ongoing

[manny100]

Personally I don’t come on here to be in an echo chamber. And telling people to sell there shares if they are shitty with the company is bullshit in my opinion. Just my opinion though.

I find it hard to believe that anybody could be 100% positive about how things have gone down the last 3 years.

What’s Sean says and what happens are two very different things. In one of his old interviews with stocks down under he said that it takes partners up to a year to evaluate the product and make a decision. Akida 2.0 (Sean’s baby) has been out for over 2 years with no deals made. This to me is concerning. We are not told why nobody is buying it but we are told at the AGM in 2024 that hopefully we get a couple deals by the end of the year. We have got nothing and told now maybe the start of 2025.

I’m hopeful that this product is what the tech world wants and needs. We all think here that’s it’s needed but apparently nobody wants to buy it. Yet….

Loads of key personal have left and no contracts are being signed that’s a fact!

New Akida products are being released to lots of fanfare and amazing reviews. That’s also a fact.

Also a fact is that the only Akida products everybody seems to use is Akida 1000. The version that Sean slagged off in his first AGM.

There is my rant for the month. And no won’t sell my shares lol

Cheers

Yes, but it's also important to remember what you are buying. BRN is a spec and will be until it makes repetitive revenue.
You either believe it will succeed or not.
There is not a lot of room in between.
There is still plenty of time for it to do deals.

Or maybe its poor leadership leading to poor culture! Why else would Chris mention this in his post!

Any sign of Sean wishing Chris or anyone else that left well ?

So many are sadly just stuck in every negative narrative they can find.

Does the comment have to be a negative or could it simply be a positive assessment of the hire of Steve and that he is a wonderful influence / addition to the team and culture.

Nothing said necessarily implies the culture was bad, just Steves influence is wonderful. Does that speak more of the man or the culture.

Half full....half empty and people will view as they will.

Your thinking is quite negative.

Maybe they shaked hands when he left the building for the last time? I bet they did.

Does everything have to be over the i-net? A good old face to face is hard to beat and some prefer keeping a low profile on social media.
I personally stopped posting my doings on FB because I realized that no one cares, I keep my real friends updated by other means.

Working for Goggle is quite something in that role, over 180,000 people are working there!

I will not speculate why he left because there can be hundreds of reasons, some positive to BRN, some negative and some neutral.

 

[Bravo]

Looks like Tata will be driving Akida into a lot more than just medical devices!

Hi @JB49, I was just looking back at the TCS website and here are some of the use cases they have outlined for neuromorphic computing. And this is just within the banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) industry.

The LinkedIn post from a few days ago confirms the progress they're making on Driver Drowsiness Detection. I imagine commercialisation can't be too far away which means a license can't be too far away either.

Neuromorphic Computing in BFSI: The tech of the future

Spiking neural networks, when run on NC hardware, can help overcome issues in the existing AI and ML deployments and conceptualize new products and services.

Well done on picking the top!

 

[BigDonger101]

I don’t understand why some people think that leaving a company always has to be a bad thing. There are many cases where leaving actually has more positive effects. There must be reasons for it here as well. Perhaps they mutually agreed that he would leave due to insufficient involvement in the company’s operations…maybe he can’t stand the pressure to bring results in a startup…or maybe he wants to pursue other challenges that BrainChip doesn’t offer… or possibly a better salary package at Google? Who knows…or hey… maybe it’s a strategic move for implementing akida into Google… Maybe he can build some goodwill for BrainChip there and even get them to consider testing Akida, etc.


There are so many possibilities and reasons, yet people immediately focus on the worst-case scenario. Let’s hope this doesn’t turn into a crapper forum here

You're really looking for the positive out of what could be a negative.

For every positive leaving reason you've mentioned, there are 5 negative reasons for leaving. Now which is more probable?

This isn't the first staff to leave. There has been a large amount over the past 2 years.

 

[DK6161]

Wtf is going on, founders retiring at the end of the year, ANOTHER key staff member gone.......?


I don't think Brainchip could outbid Google in a headhunting contest.

You obviously haven't done your research.
People come and go etc etc

Sean is too busy signing major deals. Those deals will produce imminent profits my friend!

As always - Not advice

Mate you can't just say ''you obviously haven't done your research''.

What an absolute statement from you. You mean the deal he was supposed to get across the line in the next 27 days?

Yeh mate, I bet he's real busy signing that one.

Nice find, thanks.

I forwarded the link to brainchip with a short message.

Yes..And what do you plan to do about it now? I’ve mentioned it often enough. I don’t understand the point of constantly trying to drag others into your state of mind. If you want to change something, then do it if you can. If you can’t, then spare us the constant negativity.
(Generally speaking… not directly to you)

To answer the inevitable question in advance: Yes, I also share my opinions here in the forum. Sometimes it’s nonsense out of boredom, and sometimes it’s to counterbalance the negativity from others here.

As long as there are negative opinions that don’t significantly impact the company’s progress, I will continue to highlight the positives. Some people can kick and scream all they want; it doesn’t bother me in the slightest.

Nice find, thanks.

I've just emailed the contact from that site - Clare Thiem to highlight the advantages of Akida. Hopefully she can look into our company and perhaps mention it to her colleagues.
I'll follow it up if I don't hear anything by next week.
Cheers

Objectives
The proposed activity entails the definition (definition phase) of an onboard neuromorphic AI data processing unit designed for satellite communication (satcom) Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations, targeting smallsats. The activity contains three main high level chapters:

1. Identification of potential neuromorphic satcom applications and scenarios.
2. Preliminary benchmarking of neuromorphic algorithms.
3. Define the product architecture, user requirements and technical specifications.

The objectives of the Definition Phase are as follows:

1. Consolidate user requirements and technical specifications: Gather and refine detailed user requirements and technical specifications to ensure that all stakeholder needs are clearly understood and documented.
2. Establish a technical baseline: Develop a foundational technical framework that will serve as the reference point for all subsequent development activities.
3. Complete an initial design concept: Create a preliminary design concept that outlines the overall architecture and key components of the product, ensuring alignment with user requirements and technical specifications.
4. Assess system-level performance: Evaluate the initial design to identify potential performance issues and areas for improvement, ensuring that the system meets expected performance standards.
5. Consolidate the initial business case: Develop and refine the business case for the project, including an analysis of market needs, potential revenue streams, cost estimates, and return on investment projections.

These objectives aim to lay a solid foundation for the subsequent phases of the project, ensuring that all necessary requirements and constraints are understood and addressed early in the development process.
Challenges
The key challenges of the project include integrating diverse processing elements into a cohesive system, ensuring high performance with low power consumption, and overcoming the limitations of traditional computing architectures. Addressing the harsh space environment requirements, such as radiation tolerance and reliability, is critical. Developing a flexible and user-friendly framework for rapid customisation and deployment of AI models, achieving real-time data processing and onboard learning, and ensuring the system's robustness against radiation-induced errors are significant hurdles to overcome.
Benefits
The proposed onboard data processing unit offers significant advantages over existing competitor systems. It integrates a flexible, heterogeneous computing platform, combining traditional and neuromorphic processing elements to enhance real-time data processing and reduce latency. This results in a high performance-to-watt ratio and low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) characteristics, crucial for space applications. The system's design allows for easy customisation and rapid deployment of AI models, providing superior flexibility. It addresses existing bottlenecks in data processing, ensuring faster, more efficient operations. Overall, the DPU’s robust, reliable performance in space environments sets it apart from current AI processing solutions, offering a competitive edge in satellite communications.
Features
The product includes a high-performance processing system combining traditional and neuromorphic computing elements to ensure efficient and real-time data processing. The modular design allows for flexible and scalable integration into various satellite architectures.
Key components include high-speed and low-speed interfaces for versatile connectivity and dual storage options for handling large data volumes. The system is built to withstand the harsh conditions of space, with robust hardware and software designed for reliability and resilience. The DPU supports easy customisation and rapid deployment of AI models, facilitating continuous updates and improvements. This combination of advanced processing capabilities, flexible design, and robust construction ensures superior performance and adaptability in space applications.
System Architecture
The system architecture to be developed consists of a modular design with two main interconnected boards: the core board and the neuron board. The core board is responsible for handling high-performance computing tasks, while the neuron board focuses on efficient, low-power AI processing. The architecture integrates multiple processing units, including CPUs, GPUs, AI accelerators and NPU’s, to support diverse and intensive computational requirements. It includes various high-speed and low-speed interfaces for flexible connectivity and robust storage solutions to manage large data volumes. Designed to withstand harsh space environments, the system incorporates safety and reliability features. The software framework facilitates easy deployment and updates, ensuring the system can adapt to evolving mission needs and technological advancements.
Plan
The Definition Phase of the project includes two key milestones. The first is the Mid-Term Review, where use cases are analysed, a shortlist is selected and proposed, and a revised set of product requirements along with the DPU architecture is presented. Additionally, a preliminary analysis of neuromorphic processors and algorithms is performed.
The second milestone is the Phase Completion Review, which involves consolidating the business case, proposing the hardware and software architecture for the product, and completing the analysis of the neuromorphic processor. This phase also includes preliminary benchmarking of neuromorphic algorithms and demonstrations of selected use cases.
Current status
The project is approaching the Phase Completion Review. Achievements include the analysis and selection of use cases, a revised set of product requirements, and the initial DPU architecture. Trade-off and selection of neuromorphic processors and algorithms has been conducted, with the overall hardware and software architecture now proposed. The business plan has been consolidated. Preliminary benchmarking of algorithms with demonstrations of selected use cases have been designed.

Some people struggle with strong leadership, especially when things get tough. I’ve seen many employees burn out when leaders push for final results and higher standards. Who knows, maybe some of them just want the easiest way to make money. Maybe this is what he meant by “all the best to you and yours” There are people like that in every industry. Just an observation.

Yea, maybe getting paid a large percentage in shares isn’t enough to cut it, especially if you need a decent cash flow to survive?

 

[Friends of Rod]

As a long-term holder (of a modest number of shares I admit) it concerns me that so many people here on TSE seem so focused on complaining for the sake of complaining.

If you have the courage to express your convictions the solution is very simple – see the end of this comment for a hint. The fact that BRN has yet to meet its potential, which will translate to a vast increase in SP is concerning yes but it not grounds to bash Sean, lack of deals etc. endlessly. That tedious stream of complaints equates to “sound and thunder signifying nothing” as Shakespeare so eloquently put it unless you are willing to act on your dissatisfaction.

For the rest of us BRN continues to make great strides and is now being named as a major player in this burgeoning space with all the huge potential associated with its rightfully owned place.

With that in mind can I suggest - SHUT UP OR SELL UP

 

[Food4 thought]

I get that part dio, but it doesn't make it any less concerning considering the amount of staff we have bled over the past 2 years with minimal commercial progress (that we know of)

Maybe
Just maybe they too were told this year is the year they will rocket and clearly it hasn’t as yet.
Nothing worse than being promised something and it doesn’t happen.
Or the pressure of the job was to much for them
People leave for all sorts of reasons.
You need a good leadership and even better management that know how to get the best out of people.
And maybe the ex workers had nothing left to give or did not enjoy the people they worked with.

Who knows, but no one is unreplaceable or indispensable
