Any investment in Brn by a big tech will be considered positive. Let the management bring about a strategy and only then we can evaluate the situation.
Right now the way things are being projected are very messy and did not pay any creditability to management.

Hi Doz,
Yes. At approx 12 minutes into that video, Stephen Brighfield discussed Akida Pico and highlights its suitability for hearing aids and wearables such as smartwatches and glasses and that they are involved in ongoing discussions with manufacturers of smart glasses.
Onsor has stepped out of the shadows, so it will be interesting to see which other manufacturers of smart glasses may reveal themselves in future.
Stephen emphasized that Pico's energy efficiency allows the battery to last for several days. The article I just posted on Meta's Aria Gen 2 glasses suggests that the battery only lasts for 6-8 hours. If Pico can enable an increase in battery life from 6 hours to two days, then it would be advantageous for Meta to investigate the technology, if it already hasn't IMO.
Looks like Brainchip was successful with their eye tracking . I wonder if they got to demonstrate with anyone of note ?

We've thinking that for past few years........yet here we are at 21 cents... I remember at one point we (from HC) thought we were in Amazon Alexa, Qualcomm SnapDragon, Merc MBOS, etc...

"MAC equivalents" is the equivalent number of MAC operations needed to be performed if the action were to be carried out by a MAC device. It is not the number of MAC operations that Akida's spiking neurons would have performed in carrying out the action because Akida did not have MACs.
Then according to your belief Dodgy , the 40% to 60% reduction in MAC’s below should read 100% reduction in MAC’s .
But unfortunately it doesn’t .
The amount of technical literature from Brainchip including comprehensive MAC comparison seems unlimited Dodgy . To continue to claim that a product including MAC specifications therefore can’t be Brainchip full stop , I find very difficult to simply accept and take on face value .

From Wikipedia.
"In computing, especially digital signal processing, the multiply–accumulate or multiply-add operation is a common step that computes the product of two numbers and adds that product to an accumulator"
Does this whole debate, come down to you saying that our little boy AKIDA, can't do simple maths?..

We thought that the world was our oyster but years on and fuck all has changed in share price and solid contracts

You have to wonder if anything will ever change!
But my foolish beliefs feel something will eventually have to change

According to Onsor’s Solutions Delivery Manager Hussein Ramadan and Ali Al Shidhani, Undersecretary for Communications and IT at Oman’s Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology, NEXA is still a prototype:

Onsor Technologies expect NEXA, their epileptic-seizures-predicting smartglasses, to become available for purchase in 2026. However, their SDM Hussein Ramadan didn’t specify in his LinkedIn reply which market they are (initially?) targeting.

I'm saying it doesn't need to - as Ella reminds us "Tain't what you do - it's the way that you do it!"From Wikipedia.

This is an XL (originally Lotus) 4-bit binary* digital MAC simulator that I invented many years ago:
*The secret sauce is in the hidden formulae and the use of decimal numbers (black partial sums).
Basically MAC matrix maths multiplies rows and columns. Until very recently the binary numbers would commonly have been 32 bits or more. So at least 64 times (8*8) the above just to multiply a pair of numbers. Hence the brilliance of PvdM's initial 1-bit concept which still has many use cases.
Note: This drawing is not an example of Akida's NPU - see the patent drawing above.
However, when the initial 1-bit FPGA was field trialled by early adopters, a need for greater accuracy was highlighted for some use cases. Hence Akida 1 was developed with 4-bit weights and activations. with this change, I asked PvdM if that would mean that Akida 1 would use MACs. His reply was "No".
So perhaps, PvdM should be corrected on this point.
