As previously mentioned yesterday’s announcement was not a big announcement. We currently have a market cap of around 470 million.
If we want the SP to actually move we need a deal with millions attached or with a tier 1 name. Not a minor company that brings in a few million in revenue.

I suspect, given our dominance in space news as the latest innervation in Europe and the recent award by the US Air Force, SpaceX will be well aware of our existence..... Just a matter of time and BOOM!!!! You will get your tier 1 announcement.... Don't you worry about that.

GOTHENBURG, Sweden--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Under a newly signed contract with the European Space Agency (ESA), Frontgrade Gaisler is leading an ambitious initiative to secure European sovereignty in advanced semiconductor technologies for space applications. This project aims to develop foundational technology for some of the world’s most sophisticated integrated circuits for space, leveraging Ultra Deep Sub-Micron (UDSM) nodes as advanced as 7nm.
“ESA is proud to support this groundbreaking initiative, which represents a critical step toward European sovereignty in advanced semiconductor technologies for space,” said Boris Glass, Technical Officer at ESA. “By investing in Ultra Deep Sub-Micron processes such as 7 nm FinFET CMOS technology, we are ensuring that Europe remains at the forefront of space innovation and autonomy, securing the technology necessary for next-generation space exploration and satellite constellations. This collaboration with Frontgrade Gaisler and its industry partners is essential to meet the growing demands of the space sector and strengthen Europe’s capabilities in the global arena.”
The consortium’s initial focus is to establish radiation-hardened libraries and Intellectual Property (IP) cores that will serve as the foundation for highly reliable and efficient UDSM-based integrated circuits. Building on this foundation, an advanced RISC-V microprocessor prototype will be developed and tested for performance and radiation.
In a future project, this microprocessor prototype will be advanced toward full functionality, production, and qualification, providing Europe with autonomous and highly competitive space computing capabilities, facilitating advanced AI and Edge computing to meet the demands of next-generation satellite constellations and deep-space missions.
"Frontgrade Gaisler has decades of experience supplying the space sector with advanced semiconductor products, which lends itself well to the work of EEE Space Component Sovereignty for Europe,” said Sandi Habinc, General Manager at Frontgrade Gaisler. “Through this program, we’re leveraging our expertise – along with the other participants – to advance UDSM technology and to strengthen our position in this industry.”
With its extensive history, Frontgrade Gaisler is well positioned to lead the efforts toward the next-generation, space-grade microprocessor technology. Since inception, the team has been committed to providing tangible benefits that help progress and grow the entire space community and that enable new types of space missions, offering long-term growth opportunities for the industry as a whole.

AARONASX
Holding onto what I've got
A while ago I shared an analogy comparing Sean's behind-the-scenes efforts to planting an orchard—requiring time before the trees bear fruit. Recent announcements, while modest in scale, are beginning to demonstrate signs of viability and growth. While these are not the breakthrough achievements we all anticipate, they represent a promising start. It’s better to have a series of small wins first before the major announcement to truly take things off. Sean will undoubtedly be still held today/tomorrow etc to a high standards, and rightfully so; I trust he understands to maintaining momentum without slowing down.
This month's developments are particularly significant, as they underscore the hard work being put in and show that businesses are starting to see the value of Akida where as contracts are been signed. Over time, we can expect others to quickly follow suit, eager to become the third, fourth, or fifth company making announcements leveraging Akida.
So, now more than any other point in Brainchips history while trading on the ASX is a massive risk for anyone shorting, 2 announcements came out without any known prior leaks that now show some money is starting to flow in!!!,... IMO if I were shorting I would be considering an exit strategy before its too late.

Great to be progressing in one field but space is very niche. Semiconductors in space last year was only valued at 1-2 billion last year. There’s a lot more money to be made here on earth in automotive, electronics, medical ect. I’ll be happy if we get up agreement with the likes of LG Electronics, Samsung or Bosch. That’s where the money isI suspect, given our dominance in space news as the latest innervation in Europe and the recent award by the US Air Force, SpaceX will be well aware of our existence.....

Agree, with the following qualification.
For investors/traders whose viewpoint is either limited too, or enlightened by, merely, the current share price.
No judgement intended here.
The share price is important to me too.
Unfortunately it has been shown to be easily manipulated by shorter's for their own ends so I try not to be overly influenced by it, beyond the odd occasions when I am looking to either enter or exit.
But then, I am long, and probably old fashioned, in that I have additional factors that I would like to see fulfilled.
I would like to see the company succeed in providing the world with a more efficient, autonomous and cost effective solution to the myriad compute at scale conundrums that are currently limiting the spread, competency and enablement of an eventual, beneficent General AI.
I have hopes it will be a great influence in the democratisation of equity and the relief of suffering for all the peoples of the world.
I know it will be used in missiles and countless other applications of warfare, but it will also find its way into many more aspects of tech that provide service to mankind.
Like any tool it will be used for both good and ill.
At the least, BrainChip was founded and influenced by PVDM who had good intentions for his brainchild.
So, as many others have already said, even though these two recent reveals only provide token immediate cash, they do represent high quality endorsement of the quality of our product.
This too has value.
Hopefully not too long now till we get that tier 1 name's deal with the millions of $ attached.
And we as individuals can once again start looking at yachts, islands and fembots to occupy our notorious old age.
Bring it, BrainChip!

I’m also long on BRN but I expect to see an uptick in revenue. The longer this company goes without significant revenue the more cap raises BRN will be doing and the more diluted OUR holdings will be and that is something every holder should take issue with. We’re already up to an SOI of 1.8 billion. It’s all well and good to say you’re long but if the potential future SP is being destroyed by new shares being added to the registry then that is not idealAgree, with the following qualification.

Thanks Bob,
Had to look up the CXXT to see what was going on. SP makes sense now. Glad I’ve invested on a honest marketplace with no manipulation:

Hi Fmf,
The paper must relate to Akida 1, as Akida 2 has not yet appeared in silicon.
"Destroyed" is a bit strong.
Does the diminution in SP due to share issues exceed the general SP variability?
I think that illegal SP manipulation is a much greater drag on the SP.
Do you have any practicable suggestions to expedite the uptake of Akida?
Bravo
If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!
Extract/quote from an interview with Arm CEO, Renee Haas on 17th December 2024.
”What we are observing — and I think this is only going to accelerate — is that whether you’re talking about an AI data center or an AirPod or a wearable in your ear, there’s an AI workload that’s now running and that’s very clear. This doesn’t necessarily need to be ChatGPT-5 running six months of training to figure out the next level of sophistication, but this could be just running a small level of inference that is helping the AI model run wherever it’s at. We are seeing AI workloads, as I said, running absolutely everywhere. So, what does that mean for Arm?
Our core business is around CPUs, but we also do GPUs, NPUs, and neural processing engines. What we are seeing is the need to add more and more compute capability to accelerate these AI workloads. We’re seeing that as table stakes. Either put a neural engine inside the GPU that can run acceleration or make the CPU more capable to run extensions that can accelerate your AI. We are seeing that everywhere. I wouldn’t even say that’s going to accelerate; that’s going to be the default.
What you’re going to have is an AI workload running on top of everything else you have to do, from the tiniest of devices at the edge to the most sophisticated data centers. So if you look at a mobile phone or a PC, it has to run graphics, a game, the operating system, and apps — by the way, it now needs to run some level of Copilot or an agent. What that means is I need more and more compute capability inside a system that’s already kind of constrained on cost, size, and area. It’s great for us because it gives us a bunch of hard problems to go off and solve, but it’s clear what we’re seeing. So, I’d say AI is everywhere.”

Well let’s see what happens to the SP when the market is advised of who the main contractor is with the US Air Force Brainchip are working for/with. A quick google search may give an indication and if it’s the first opens plenty of doors down the track.

A lot of holders over the years have loved shouting how happy they’ll be ‘when’ brainchip reaches $10, 20, 30SP but as each year goes by and the more diluted their shares become those hopes become more and more difficult. A lot of posters here love the excitement of a LinkedIn post but I dare say they have absolutely zero idea of the financials required to reach even a SP of $5 with such a high SOI. Maybe strong words now but how many more years do we have of insignificant revenue? They might not be strong words in a few more years time.
The old manipulation line, I’ve read that on a lot of stocks overs the years. Yes shorting and funds can keep a SP low but brainchip is only shorted around 3-4% at the moment..that’s not huge. You know what will make shorters disappear? Revenue.
Practical ideas? Not my job mate. Renesas and Megachips is a great place to start. They have a boatload of customers so I’m not sure why we aren’t being pushed

I Asked Grok and this was the reply
The image shows a flight controller board, which is a critical component in drones and other unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This particular design appears to be a part of a multirotor drone, likely a quadcopter or similar, given the layout and the number of connectors.
The company that makes this specific flight controller is not immediately identifiable from the image alone, but several companies are known for producing similar components:
Betaflight - Known for their open-source flight controller software, often used in custom builds.
Holybro - A popular manufacturer of drone components, including flight controllers.
DJI - While more known for their complete drones, they also produce flight controllers like the DJI Naza series.
KISS - Known for their minimalistic and high-performance flight controllers.
F4 and F7 series - These are types of flight controllers based on the STM32F4 and STM32F7 microcontrollers, respectively, produced by various manufacturers.
To determine the exact manufacturer, one would typically look for branding on the board itself, which might be on the other side or in a location not visible in this image. If you have access to the board or its packaging, that might provide more clues.
