Here’s a summary and a question I’d like to share for discussion from the German forum:

A user raised some concerns about BrainChip, particularly regarding the frequent CR and the resulting dilution of shares. While new partnerships and initial revenues are positive signs, they believe that not much will happen until mid 2025 and expect the share price to fluctuate between 13 and 20 cents until then. They also think the development of Akida products could take several more years (2027/2028), highlighting the risks of investing in startups like BrainChip. Their main question seems to be how long investors are willing to support these capital raises, given the uncertainty around when substantial progress will be visible.

Personally, I see their points, but I’m more optimistic about BrainChip’s potential. I believe the capital raises are necessary for the company’s growth and development, especially as they work to secure major deals. As mentioned in the last AGM, “One deal can make us profitable overnight,” and I think that’s an exciting possibility.

What’s your take on this? Do you share similar concerns, or are you confident in BrainChip’s trajectory despite the risks? I know the majority here is positive and share the same optimism like I do.
Dolci got her German passport?

Yeah, he basically said what the Doc said, using as little words as possible, maybe he had a long day..

He "should" have said and I don't think this is making an assumption, otherwise it would contradict the news from CES 2025..

"Thanks for your email

The news wasn't ASX worthy, as this is not a commercial partnership yet, with a dollar amount attached.
Hopefully it will develop into one in the Future.

Kind Regards

Tony Dawe"


It aligns with all the other "partnerships" which also weren't ASX announced, much to the dismay of shareholders..
Maybe TD is being gagged from saying anything?

I don't think it's a matter of him being "gagged"..
He answered the question, just he could have elaborated a bit, to make it clearer, without saying anything he shouldn't.

Raytheon to open new facility at SkySong, The Arizona State University Scottsdale Innovation Center​

July 17, 2023

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., July 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, announced that it will be opening a new facility at SkySong, The Arizona State University (ASU) Scottsdale Innovation Center, adding 28,000 square feet of digital design space to the company's footprint just minutes away from the main Tempe campus.

The new engineering design hub will leverage talent in the Phoenix area, housing approximately 150 professional positions – 95 percent of which will be employees new to Raytheon. The location will focus primarily on digital design products that support the rapid growth and demand for the company's defense portfolio, which, to date, has mostly been concentrated in southern Arizona.

  • And now at CES 2025 we have RTX representation at our suite for a visit.

Go figure huh.

Some stuff on ChromoLogic. Spinnmo seems to be able to assess the performance of different types of neuromorphic hardware.
Note in the second link, they teamed up with Penn State University, however they used Intel Loihi. But, Penn State University is part of our Brainchip University AI Accelerator Program

Bloody hope so and that the CES visit was just a cordial hi, what else you got going on while we discuss a commercial agreement that we don't "currently" have...which is not untrue, but hope that changes :LOL:

Re cybersecurity: we've known about DUTH since 2018:

https://brainchip.com/brainchip-acquires-license-to-cybersecurity-technology-brainchip-011018-01/

BrainChip Acquires License to Cybersecurity Technology​

Company enters into an agreement with Democritus University of Thrace

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BrainChip Holdings Ltd. (“BrainChip” or the “Company”) (ASX:BRN), the leading neuromorphic computing company, today announced that the Company has entered into an agreement with the Democritus University of Thrace, located in Greece. The agreement consists of a license to their cybersecurity technology and their researcher’s support in porting the technology to the AkidaTM Development Environment. The cybersecurity technology includes data-to-spike convertors and is specifically designed for network intrusion and anomaly detection using a spiking neural network (SNN) that can be accelerated by the Akida Neuromorphic System-on-Chip (NSoC).

Professor Lazaros Iliadis, PhD, Professor of the Department of Civil Engineering, Lab of Mathematics and Informatics, School of Engineering at the Democritus University of Thrace is responsible for the program. He commented, “We have been working with spiking neural networks for several years and our cybersecurity technology has proven highly accurate in detecting threats. The Akida NSoC is an ideal platform to accelerate our SNNs.”

Robert Beachler, BrainChip SVP of Marketing and Business Development commented, “As the Akida NSoC design progresses it is important that we have proven examples of SNN models and data to spike convertors for our target markets. According to MarketsandMarkets, the artificial intelligence cybersecurity market is estimated to be US$35B by 2025 and this technology acquisition will jump-start our solutions in this lucrative application space
".

Something which I let through to the keeper back in 2018 because I was distracted by the sexier cybersecurity model is the data-to-spike converter which was part of the DUTH licence, even though Bob Beachler made the point that the licence from DUTH included data-to-spike conversion (DtSC). The DtSC in Akida may well be the DUTH licenced version.

... and now here we are, playing away with QV on cybersecurity, while we may still be in bed with DUTH for data-to-spike converters.

Well QV does have some rich friends ... and Akida is a party girl.

I love your sleuthing and contributions FMF, thank you.

Another thought I have to add, is that when Steve was a guest on that other guys podcast he mentioned about a partner (that couldn't be mentioned) that was doing their own university program for their engineers (that was my interpretation of what was said). This could be what was alluded to.

Ahh who cares, it's Saturday Tech 👍

Personally I think Bob Lazar, was "not" full of shit.
The "Fact Checkers" can go kiss my arse.

I believe him.

NewsNation on YouTube, are covering the latest whistleblower, Saturday US time I think, for those interested..
This is a still of the "Egg shaped" UAP from the Newsnation exposé, being retrieved by a helicopter long line.

Compare it to Mork's "craft"..

Not saying that means it's a joke 😛
But the similarities are irrefutable, in scale as well..

The M2 card does not show up when you hit the Products tab:

https://brainchip.com/akida-foundations/

which shows Shuttle, PCIe and Raspberry Pi.

However, it is on the shop.brainchip page:

https://shop.brainchipinc.com/

https://shop.brainchipinc.com/products/akida-m-2-card

It may be obvious to the web designer looking from the inside out, but it's hard to find looking from the outside in.

Most people would go to the Products tab on the main page, and would be disappointed. I only stumbled across the shop.brainchip page from this page which contained another misdirected link.

https://feeds.issuerdirect.com/news-release.html?newsid=5433328819631701

... and I don't recall how I found this page after the mushrooms.

Thanks Guz, good post. With RTX, Bascom Hunter and Lockeed Martin connected to us, we could well end up big in defense.
Sean mentioned at the AGM we had interest from defense.
We are still on the patience train but we will get there.
I reckon you’re usually more upbeat about BrainChip announcements? IMO the QV announcement is the biggest so far in BRNs time. Cyber is a huge market and increasingly a focus of both government and commercial… and this announcement for the first time makes a point of Akida’s real time learning - which is a differentiator in cyber threat detection. Being able to recognise new patterns don’t fit the profile of expected network traffic (for example) is the most effective way to close down threats before they get started. We all know Akida’s real time STDP learning is unique and patented. This is an BIG announcement imo.

PC motherboards, these days, tend to have more than 1 M.2 slot. One is for the main OS drive and the other can be used as storage and sometimes to even connect a wifi card etc. I wonder if the AKIDA M.2 would work in one of these onboard slots?
