is the Quarterly Update out as yet ??
is it possible another ANN may appear prior ??
is it possible another ANN may appear prior ??
Hi super...off and on today I keep having this telepathic message in my head that another announcement is coming,
that's 100% true, but held back until now fearing I'd be laughed at
.When Tony told me via email that he had just finished recording the podcast and it would probably be put up next week,
well I was slightly disappointed when it didn't turn up, then the next week nothing (apart from an announcement) this
week the same pattern (an announcement) and still no advertised date for the podcast, maybe Sean has got a trifecta up
his sleeve !
A very good point was made to me the other night by a shareholder, in that, Sean never mentions anything about either
Renesas or MegaChips (I know all about NDA's) but nothing, does that seem a little strange given the timeframe, just
asking for a friend..
Regards....Tech.
Give it up packer, no one is interested in your whining, back to hc

I think lots of us have a similar intuition/feeling/hope that there will be a third announcement soonish.
The people working at BrainChip have been under the pump for some time now to get something meaningful up and running and I'd bet my left nut that Sean and the Board will have been doing everything possible to get it out by Christmas/New Year or asap.
On our last big adventure we had Ford, then NASA and then the big MB announcements in fairly short order and of course the share price went absolutely ballistic. Given the number of people who no doubt feel trapped at various levels from here all the way back up towards $2 I reckon selling pressure will slow down any future sprint back up to our previous summit.
And many, like me, will add further to that by taking some profit along the way this time.
You've picked it a few times in the past as I recall, so am hoping you're right again this time.
The shorts have had it pretty much all their way over most of the last couple of years.
It would be nice if the true believers got at least a little taste again.
Merry Christmas to you Tech and all the other good people out there.

Hi TECH,
regarding that collaboration at the time (announced in February 2016), please see an earlier post of mine, in which I quoted @uiux, who already stated two years ago that Chris Eliasmith and our company had apparently parted ways a while ago, as evidenced by the former starting to work with Loihi instead of Akida.

Does anyone happen to have more up-to-date info on that topic?
Not necessarily.
It is a fact that Mercedes-Benz did “entrust” AKD1000 with the keyword spotting in the VISION EQXX. So it wouldn’t technically be a misrepresentation for their logo to be still there under “YOU‘RE IN GOOD COMPANY…” on the BrainChip website or under “Trusted by…” on presentation slides, even if they were no longer collaborating. But yes, personally I would also consider it somewhat misleading, if that were the case.
Do you have any explanation, though, why the reference to the VISION EQXX suddenly disappeared from BrainChip’s website under “Automotive”(www.brainchip.com/markets) sometime in July/August?
Just like anyone else not privy to what is going on in MB’s Future Technologies Lab, I obviously have no idea whether or not we are still being considered.
What I do know, however, is that I’ve raised quite a few valid points in recent months that those who claim it is more or less guaranteed that BrainChip technology has already been implemented or will be implemented in MB serial cars very soon have so far ignored or refused to address. Typing in my user name and “Mercedes” in the TSE search engine (looking glass on the top right) will come up with several of such posts.
In mid-October, Mercedes-Benz named a number of current research partners with regards to neuromorphic computing: the institutions and companies behind NAOMI4Radar (Uni Lübeck, TWT GmbH Science & Innovation, Intel Deutschland GmbH, TU München), Hochschule Karlsruhe as well as the University of Waterloo. BrainChip was not one of them.
Then again, I also spotted Innatera, SynSense and Neurobus claiming to be current partners of Mercedes - on their websites resp. in presentation slides - and as we know, Neurobus is in turn partnered with both BrainChip and Intel…
Without an official statement by either Mercedes-Benz or BrainChip, we won’t know for sure whether or not we’re still in the running.
Any poster claiming otherwise is merely guessing.

Grok is totally wrong.
Those mysterious objects are in reality Lu.i neurons, designed for educational purposes in 2022 by university researchers from Heidelberg and Bern (see paper below):
“We therefore introduce Lu.i: a parametrizable electronic implementation of the leaky-integrate-and-fire neuron model in an engaging form factor. These palm-sized neurons can be used to visualize and experience the dynamics of individual cells and small spiking neural networks. When stimulated with real or simulated sensory input, Lu.i demonstrates brain-inspired information processing in the hands of a student.”

By the way - the Lu.i neuron board that can be seen in the photos and videos relating to that recent MB Future Technologies Lab Open Day for journalists doubles up as an artwork adorning a wall of the MB neuromorphic researchers’ lab…
On the BRN website they have a Why Invest section which lists 7 reasons for investing in BRN.
One reason is:
" Marquee brands include Mercedes, Valeo, Vorago, and NASA, and commercial IP licenses with Renesas and MegaChips. Commercial availability of semiconductor chips, IP, tools, and boards."
My bold above.
If any of the 'Marquee brands' were not in fact connected with BRN then investors relying on the statement could hold BRN liable for any losses incurred if it was untrue. - including class action.
Take it from me the Marquee brands are still 'relevant'.

"AMD CEO Lisa Su comments on possible Intel merger
The US government is said to have considered a merger between AMD and Intel. Time Magazine addressed this with AMD CEO Lisa Su.16 December 2024
Intel is doing badly at the moment. So badly, in fact, that the US government – still under President Joe Biden at the time – is said to have considered possible rescue plans. One of the more far-fetched rumours foresaw a possible merger of Intel's processor division with AMD. Alternatively, a merger with the US chip designer Marvell, which designs controllers and signal processors, for example, would be possible.
Time Magazine asked AMD CEO Lisa Su about the rumours in a panel interview: ‘Has the Biden administration encouraged you to merge with Intel?’ Su responded with a laugh: ‘I think, um, the answer to that question is no.’
She explains that companies benefit from cooperation and that the US's position in the global economy would be strengthened as a result. As recently as October, AMD and Intel announced an x86 alliance to strengthen their position against ARM.
Semafor, among others, refers to unnamed sources in government circles. According to this, the previous talks were precautionary and not yet specific. Sus choice of words and laughter suggest that she may have heard about possible merger options. She was explicitly not asked whether the government had even raised the idea. If it had been encouraged, the parties involved would already be a few steps further along.
Intel stumbles
Intel's board of directors has retired the previous CEO Pat Gelsinger on 1 December 2024. He took up the post in 2021 with the goal of returning Intel to its former economic strength. He focused on the chip manufacturing division Intel Foundry as a competitor to the world market leader TSMC, which involved billions in investments.The first wave of foundry customers is expected to come to Intel with the upcoming 18A production generation. Only then will it become clear whether Gelsinger's realignment is bearing fruit."
AMD-Chefin Lisa Su kommentiert mögliche Intel-Fusion
Die US-Regierung soll eine Fusion zwischen AMD und Intel in Betracht gezogen haben. Das Time Magazine sprach AMD-CEO Lisa Su darauf an.
Concerns grow in Washington over Intel
"...“We have outlined a clear strategy that we are executing with rigor, and the strong operational performance we delivered in Q3 demonstrates important progress against our plan,” an Intel spokesperson said in a statement. “Intel is the only American company that designs and manufactures leading-edge chips and is playing a critical role to enable a globally competitive semiconductor ecosystem in the US.”
One option is a merger, led by the private sector but possibly encouraged by the government, of Intel’s chip-design business with a rival like AMD or Marvell, the people said. There’s little appetite for a 2008-style bailout, in which the government took direct stakes in automakers and banks, because policymakers are worried about losing money given Intel’s continued sales declines.

Not sure if this has been shared, but this is a very good example of the positive effect the incoming Trump administration is having and will have, on business investment confidence, going forward.
Especially in new and emerging technologies.
Donald Trump, SoftBank CEO announce $100 billion, 100,000 jobs investment in US-based AI technology
I think 2025, really is shaping up to be a year of big smiles around here.

Comments on what?
Some references to Mercedes Benz on our website linked.
I do not include Mercedes at all in my hold and accumulate decisions with BRN (i am still accumulating). I just think its further away than some others. It looks to me like BRN have the same opinion right now.
BRN appear to be rightly prioritising the more near term opportunities as demonstrated by the age of the articles on the website. Merc was a great marketing tool at the time though.
IMO Merc will adopt whatever it believes is the most advanced at the time. I think it will be likely us as we have so far stacked up well against other products Merc could use and they would lose credibility if it produced a vision car containing 'also ran' products while other car producers were using chips that were being sent into space..

You do realise this forum is as bad as HC if not worse right? Any opposing views are shot down and belittled? Is that clown Wilzy still around here? His traits seem to live on strong here

Nobody is saying those “marquee brands” are not connected with BRN.
But does a list of “marquee brands” really signify we are presently engaged with all of them?
In a September 2023 presentation, Sean Hehir had still referred to those four names as “Marquee EAP customers”. EAP stands for Early Access Program. It doesn’t necessarily imply to me that all of them are still engaged with us today. Couldn’t one (or more) simply be a past customer (past customers) from our vantage point at the end of 2024? Wouldn’t that still truthfully qualify them as being marquee brands for BrainChip - illustrious names that deemed our then start-up worthy of doing business with and hence provided strong validation for the Akida technology?
