You obviously haven't done your research.
Sean is too busy signing major deals. Those deals will produce imminent profits my friend!

As always - Not advice

People come and go etc etc
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.

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.

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. 😌

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.

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?

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

Maybe you should take your own advice and shut up. Not everyone has modest holdings, and absolutely it is grounds for shareholders to express their dissatisfaction with Sean as the buck stops with him.

The company keeps shareholders in the dark and we are left to blindly follow. It is just not acceptable.

Your ignorance to suggest people shut up or sell is astounding to say the least. The company has continually failed its shareholders and made false promise after false promise. Three years with Sean at the helm and no deals with significant dollars attached.

As Sean said three years ago.. judge me on my results... Well that's exactly what shareholders are now doing!
 
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

The frustration comes, I believe, from believing in a product, putting your hard earned behind it and promises being made by management not coming to fruition. Even viana said that if we haven't done deals by the AGM, we are in a bit of strife.Each week passing without a deal certainly feels like a bit of a dagger to the heart (or hip pocket!).

"Shut up and sell" is a bit harsh. Investors want it to do well for obvious reasons. People are holding on hope and some are choosing to ride or die with the stock. Let them vent. It isn't hurting anyone (except maybe a few sensitive souls).

Well it's clear that Google don't see working at Brainchip as a negative.

Chris is Google product Manager for OpenXLA which is a consortium working to develop an open source compiler to adapt various types of ML software to different processors, GPU, CPU, xPU.

The consortium includes all the usual suspects except BRN. I suppose it doesn't work for digital SNNs with N-of-M coding

https://openxla.org/

An open ecosystem of performant, portable, and extensible machine learning (ML) infrastructure components that simplify ML development by defragmenting the tools between frontend frameworks and hardware backends. Built by industry leaders in AI modeling, software, and hardware.
