Well we had Akida 1.0, the engineering sample chip, then Akida 1.1, the demonstration chip, so now we have the COTS Akida 1000 (but we don't know who's making it?) - (nothing to do with "fake it til you make it") ... and we've still got a cupboard full of Akida 1500s, and a display cabinet of Akida 2 FPGAs, as well as an array of designer Picos and M2s. Haven't seen a TENNs chip in the wild yet.

Is this part of the new multi-product line Brainchip - IP, software, chips, engineering support (with Edge Impulse?)?

If we do have a supply of the "limited" Akida 1000 chips, we may start to see a quicker uptake. IP is a very hard sell with a miniscule number of market participants with the necessary cash and capability.

It looks like we have had to build a market for the chips and then get a foundry to make the chips. We will still be involved in designing special purpose SoCs incorporating 3rd party IP/processors. Akida 1000 and 1500 have been taped out and can be made on request. We've had conflicting information on the tapeout of Akida 2. The Akida 2 FPGA is only a shadow of the ASIC. TENNs is the key for high speed temporal applications like micro-Doppler radar with Raytheon/RTX.

It would be great to see all these models side by side visually

Hi manny,

I wonder if there's any overlap between this:

"Detection of FISINT (Foreign Instrumentation Signature Intelligence) and/or hacking across the airframe’s 1553 communications bus"

and the DoE/Quantum Ventura/Akida cybersecurity implementation.

They both need models capable of being used to detect aberrant code.

Quick searches via Gemini etc show that hacking is a huge and growing threat to US National security, Infrastructure and the Department of Defence.
If the QV/BRN/Lockheed Martin (LM) cybersecurity is the game changer they say it is we can expect LM to be flogging to all and sundry in those Governent departments.
One great deal pushes us further along that Early Adopter stage.

 

[manny100]

Can Intel commercialise Loihi when BRN has the significant SNN IP rights..

Intel Loihi merhod of Neuromorphic AI would have to have to be different to Brainchips patented IP.
What ever Intel have with Loihi its not working.

I guess that means we have employed the Yallow group to market AKIDA?
I hope someone remembered to tell them about Gen2/TENNs.

Hi manny,

I see the chip market as distinct from the IP market. The IP customers are few and far between - cash and tech capability rich chip makers. Chip customers are much more numerous chip users.

The thing is we seem to have discovered a trove of Akida 1000 chips which we can sell on market to anybody who can use it.

We don't have Akida 2 ASIC chips.

Hey Diogenese, my understanding of the Company's nomenclature of the AKIDA products, is..

AKIDA 1.0 IP
AKD1000 with separate batch numbers for Engineering Samples and Production samples (ES silver PS gold).
AKD1500 (we've never seen one?).

AKIDA 2.0 IP and the chip "should" be called AKD2000..


On another note, there seemed to be some stronger buying towards the end of the day, I think something might be up..

Buyers now outnumbering sellers by 2:1 which was as high as 3:1 during trading.

I'm happy not to mention Trump at all on here.

But if people on here want to sprout their negative Trump Derangement Syndrome mentality, I will rebuke it, if I think it's BS.

I am personally pleased as punch, at the direction the World is taking, under his lead.

And the US, does lead the World.

People don't come on this forum, to hear other's political views, or whinge about various politicians and I understand that.

"I am personally pleased as punch, at the direction the World is taking, under his lead"

Boy, will this statement come back and bite you on the A#se

 

[Food4 thought]

Happy that we are green again but would be nice to see a serious lift in share price.
Don’t know why we were down all day with twice as many buyers than sellers.

USA or China. Choose.

They say English is a difficult language to learn.

Apparently Chinese, is much harder.

Zheng He, the 15th Century Chinese explorer, discovered most of the New World, before earthquakes or something at China central, was taken as a bad omen and they stopped exploring and closed themselves off from the rest of the World. (hey, that's from memory okay ).

So in their minds, most of the World is "theirs" by the old "we got there first" thingo.

Australia's included in that, using the same "Nobody's Land" BS that the English originally used.

Why do you think Albo said "No thanks" to holding China's hand? (could be a bit of political poison there too though, with elections around the corner).

The way things were going, I reckon OZ, would have been annexed by China, within the next 10 to 20 years (could still happen).

Maybe you're cool with something like that, I don't know..

Lot's have gotten their fingers and moustaches singed here trying to call it, with so many floppy bounces Schrodinger hisself is only offering a 50/50 bet either way. Until we get some kind of "breakout news," with significant revenue attached, we remain the manipulator's bitch.
Patience is wearing thin for many investor's and, whilst welcome, the technical advances, patent grants and vague sentiments don't cut the mustard anymore. Maybe the cheese, but definitely not the musso.

It’s my understanding that if we pass all the tests that the companies that we have partnered with then we might see the next step into production and hopefully there is a large take up
We need a company that has a massive market share and does mass production.
So will it be someone in
the car manufacturing
Mobile phones or computers
Telecommunications
Or someone like Arm or will Intel roll over and use us because we are better than there own products

DOD is a good contact to have but not so sure just how much cash they would generate

Anyone willing to suggest who our big whale is ??

To me the obvious candidates would be in drones, particularly autonomous aircraft due to their nature and requirements and also in the field of cyber security in which I understand we can provide helpful attributes due to the unique nature of our hardware.
But of course wearables, sensor fusion, robotics etc, etc. So many other areas we can have beneficial impact, hence our once vaunted cry of ubiquity.

Interesting article about whether the US will be placing tariffs on the Semiconductor sector:

Trump to impose new chip tariffs, including on electronics exempted days ago

Donald Trump says new levies on semiconductor imports into the US will be announced in the coming week, with their "national security" impacts to be investigated.

www.abc.net.au

"The tariffs will be in place in the not too distant future," he told reporters aboard Air Force One.

Asked what the rate for semiconductors would be, he said: "I'm going to be announcing it over the next week", adding that there would be flexibility for some companies."

"We need to have semiconductors, we need to have chips, and we need to have flat panels — we need to have these things made in America. We can't be reliant on South-East Asia for all of the things that operate for us."

"In 2024, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, India, and Cambodia were the largest exporters of semiconductor devices to the US.

Mr Trump said he would get into more specifics on exemptions on Monday."

My bet is it will be a customer of Megachips, who require it for a smart sensor or device and we will not have a clue who that customer is and will not need to, we''l see the money come in. Hopefully!!!!
