Could the shorters be exiting?
I'm sorry..not !
Brainchip won a contract, with a material value attached..1.8 million USD..they followed the ASX disclosure rules and made the announcement.
They also informed the market that a 3rd party was part of the contract, they advised the market the fee to be paid by Brainchip was 800,000 USD..they also informed the market that this 3rd party was a major aerospace company.
Maybe, just maybe the 3rd party doesn't wish to be identified as yet.
We know that a major aerospace company is involved, more than likely choosen by AFRL, not us !
Our company's announcement states 800,000 USD...that to me suggests the negotiations were done and dusted prior to the official announcement...if not, which I highly doubt, our company is in serious trouble for stating a figure as such.
I personally don't think our company has to name the company involved, and unless I hear otherwise from an official source, I'm comfortable with that view.
And no @RobjHunt I haven't been drinking...learn a bit of mana by actually contributing something to the forum, instead of bludging off everyone else who's trying to genuinely contribute to the ongoing discussion.

Well, looks like BRN get chance to help this guy....hoping they can.So, like most, I've been checking out diff partners sites when I get the chance and this guy popped up on DeGirum from a couple of days ago.
Profile isn't public but full name is, so I searched that and this guy below stood out as a co-author on a paper from late last year titled "Spiking neural networks for autonomous driving: A review".
It was also co-authored by someone affiliated with VW and did contain sections on Akida as well as some other processors so I presume, rightly or wrongly, it could be this R Parada.
If so, it would appear he would like to get his hands on or run some models / code on Akida.
DeGirum can assist by the looks with their hosting set up.
Maybe BRN HO shpuld flip him a PCIe or M.2 to play and research with.
Further details of the paper etc below.
Create customized SNN code
Hi, I’m interested in the neuromorphic hardware available, Akida. How can I create my own code to be launched in the platform? Thankscommunity.degirum.com

I came across this interesting (and potentially lifesaving!) joint project called IGNIS (Latin for fire) between NASA and several Australian universities to combat lightning-sparked bushfires.
Initially (Feb 2025-Mar 2026), ground-based lightning instruments will be deployed to a bushfire-prone region of WA’s South West, including neuromorphic cameras supplied by WSU. This will be accompanied by an airborne campaign in that area, which is planned for Oct 2025, when low-altitude aircraft will host science payloads that are going to be tested with regards to a 2026 LEO (Low Earth Orbit) satellite mission.
While there is no mention of any neuromorphic processors involved, the ultimate goal of IGNIS is a deep space mission to Jupiter and one of its moons planned for 2032, for which a neuromorphic processor might just come in handy…
But regardless of whether we’ll ever be involved, I thought it was also worthwhile sharing that Edith Cowan University has launched an IGNIS Mission Student Interns Program (applications close on Feb 28), so if you know of any WA high school students (Years 7-11) with an interest in space and engineering who’d be keen on participating, please let them know about this amazing opportunity:

Australian researchers have joined forces with NASA to combat bushfires sparked by lightning across the country.
Lightning sparks hundreds of bushfires each year in Western Australia, according to the Department of Fire and Emergency Services.
It said many were in remote areas that could burn for days before an alert was issued.
This week, a series of dry lightning strikes near Manjimup, about 300 kilometres south of Perth, ignited 14 fires which burned for several days.
WA's South West, a recognised hotspot for bushfires and dry lightning, has been selected as the initial focus point for the IGNIS Project.
The project includes real-time detection and 3D images of lightning at it occurs in a bid to help firefighters with early detection.

"We hope this information could save properties, could save lives, could save livestock, could preserve our infrastructure," the Edith Cowan University academic said.
"We have our firefighters in the field trying to combat fires when they are already out of control, so we want to give them this edge."
About 100 square kilometres of land south east of Beverley has already been mapped, with 10 stations poised to provide real-time detection and 3D imaging of lightning as it occurs.
Professor de Souza said lightning strikes in remote areas were common but often went undetected for days.
"There is a continuous current lightning … the amount of energy that they discharge, it's huge," he said.
"You have something like a fireplace sleeping there, if you put a little bit of wind on that, that will start firing again.
"So that is the one that we want to collect … we say, 'OK, this is a good candidate for fire'. You can go fly over with cameras that can detect heat."

The IGNIS Project also has plans to launch a satellite into low earth orbit to track thermal and lightning patterns.
The information will be made available to emergency services to provide an earlier window for intervention, particularly for fires that are ignited by lightning in remote areas.
Professor De Souza said if the technology proved effective, it could be rolled out to fire-prone regions such as South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and south-east Queensland.

Bureau of Meteorology community information officer Daniel Hayes said there were two main types of lightning to consider.
"You've got the lightning strikes that are cloud-to-ground, they're the ones that people see the big forks of lightning," Mr Hayes said.
"But you have a lot of lightning that is just within the cloud, cloud-to-cloud type lightning, it never actually strikes the ground, but it is still there and that will be counted by a lot of the measurements."

In terms of fire risk, he said "dry lightning" remained the greater concern.
"When you get those storms come through where you don't necessarily have a whole lot of rain, you can still get those lightning strikes that come through," he said.
"You get basically what's referred to as dry lightning.
"So you get those impacts that can start the fires and there's no rain to actually stop that before it can do any damage."

Six Australian universities to join forces with NASA to study lightning and fire
ECU will lead five other Australian universities in collaboration with NASA to study lightning and fire from the ground, air and space. The research data collected as a part of IGNIS mission will be used by scientists and fire investigators around the world.

The amount could have been included in the AFRL contract as a PC item. That's not unusual in procurement contracts where a sub-contractor is specified by the purchaser. So its possible that the amount of the sub-contract is defined but not necessarilly all the conditions surrounding the deal.I'm sorry..not !
Brainchip won a contract, with a material value attached..1.8 million USD..they followed the ASX disclosure rules and made the announcement.
They also informed the market that a 3rd party was part of the contract, they advised the market the fee to be paid by Brainchip was 800,000 USD..they also informed the market that this 3rd party was a major aerospace company.
Maybe, just maybe the 3rd party doesn't wish to be identified as yet.
We know that a major aerospace company is involved, more than likely choosen by AFRL, not us !
Our company's announcement states 800,000 USD...that to me suggests the negotiations were done and dusted prior to the official announcement...if not, which I highly doubt, our company is in serious trouble for stating a figure as such.
I personally don't think our company has to name the company involved, and unless I hear otherwise from an official source, I'm comfortable with that view.
