BRN Discussion Ongoing

I believe we are in the new Nintendo Switch and would assume the deal for payment from Megachip will be a deposit and 1 to 3 months agreement before the full payment. This is all a guess of course yet I assume something along these lines which means we should see the $$$ in the next 2 financials quarterly’s from Megachip.

The world’s first biological computer, the CL1, is here—and it’s powered by human brain cells! Developed by Australian company Cortical Labs, this Synthetic Biological Intelligence (SBI) blends lab-grown neurons with silicon hardware, creating a learning system that adapts faster than today’s AI models. Officially launched in Barcelona on March 2, 2025, the CL1 is set to transform fields like medical research, drug discovery, and robotics.
Unlike traditional AI chips, the CL1 mimics the way real neural networks grow and evolve, offering a more energy-efficient and dynamic computing system. Researchers can buy a unit or access it remotely via Cortical’s "Wetware-as-a-Service" (WaaS) model, making this technology widely available.
The CL1’s capabilities extend far beyond its early days when similar neural networks were trained to play Pong. Now, scientists are exploring ways to create a "Minimal Viable Brain", which could help understand intelligence at its core. With affordable pricing compared to existing tech and a cloud-based research platform, the CL1 is an exciting step toward bridging biology and computing.
Could this be the future of AI? Stay tuned as researchers push the limits of synthetic intelligence.

Yeah, we can't compete with that.
Good game lads. Good effort by the management, but it's game over. On to the next one then! Selling shirts is it now?

 

[Pom down under]

I wish I did sell the other day after looking at todays SP

 

[manny100]

Air Force Research Lab, Raytheon and BrainChip to Bring AIoT to Radar
Great article concerning the AFRL contract. Describes the purpose of the contract and the Authors take on the roles of BRN and Ratheon.
" And now for Raytheon’s role: It will deliver services and support as a partner with BrainChip for the completion of the contract award. In other words, Raytheon will manage military protocols while BrainChip focuses on tech."
Worth a read.

Air Force Research Lab, Raytheon and BrainChip to Bring AIoT to Radar

BrainChip is partnering with Raytheon to service a contract for $1.8M from the Air Force Research Laboratory on neuromorphic radar signaling processing.

" “BrainChip is proving that on-chip AI, close to the sensor, is the future.”"

Who knows, but I recall PVDM saying that he was working on a cortical column in his lab maybe 5 or 6 years ago.
Akida is still in development and I'm pretty sure Peter has left a lot of inspiration in his wake.
He told me on one occasion that he was working towards some kind of device to which a human mind could be downloaded.
I think BrainChip was founded with a dream in mind.
Of course I don't know how far down the path he got.

Last couple of days we, and a lot of the world's markets, suffer the implications of the current American president's hubris.
Hopefully the American people wake up and stand up to him in time, before he does irreparable harm to his country and the rest of the world.
Also spare a thought for the poor penguins on Heard island.

Hi Hoppy,

Hi Hoppy,

Did you notice when it was published?

No, sorry Dio.
There wasn't any other info beyond what I reproduced here, on Facebook.
A quick squiz shows there are a few concerns working in the space.
FinalSpark in Switzerland as well as this mob Cortical Labs and of course, turning the dial up to 11, our Musky nemesis Brain chip.

No doubt, the Frontgrade Gaisler team will be spruiking the GR801 at the upcoming 40th Space Symposium in Colorado Springs.

By the way, it was a picture taken at the Frontgrade booth during that very expo last year (and posted on LinkedIn by FG), in which I spotted Jonathan Tapson first working for us (https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-418645).

Since he lives in Colorado (although in Telluride, which isn’t exactly around the corner but still much closer to Colorado Springs compared to where our BrainChip staff in Southern California are based), I wouldn’t be surprised if he attended the Space Symposium again this year.

Especially since Frontgrade Gaisler won’t be our only partner there:
ANT61 CEO Michail Asavkin will be a speaker at the Space Symposium Innovate Pitch Competition “designed to showcase emerging space companies with proven technologies and provide an opportunity for entrepreneurs to connect with key stakeholders.” (https://www.spacesymposium.org/agenda/)

I’ve been wondering for quite some time now whether another startup pitching at that event - Little Place Labs - might be experimenting with Akida as well, since I have noticed Alf Kuchenbuch liking numerous posts by that spin-off from the University of Oxford (now headquartered in Houston, TX) and their co-founder and CEO Bosco Lai in recent months.

Mitch Stevison, CEO of Frontgrade Technologies (the US parent company of Sweden-based Frontgrade Gaisler) is very much looking forward to attending the upcoming 40th Space Symposium (https://www.spacesymposium.org/) in Colorado Springs (April 7-10), organised by the Space Foundation (https://www.spacefoundation.org/).

In an interview uploaded to YouTube two days ago (my transcription is lightly edited for easier readability, eg. without filler words such as “erm”, “you know”, word repetitions etc), Mitch Stevison refers to the annual Space Symposium as “our biggest show of the year” and “the space ecosystem’s most meaningful cong [gets interrupted by the interviewer]”.

Asked about what he is most excited to see, he replies “I am always one that wants to listen to what the operational leaders are saying”, adding that the defence sector still makes up two thirds of Frontgrade Technologies’ business.
Relating to national security, Stevison tells the podcast episode’s listeners that “I’m always most interested in what is on the mind as the priorities from those leaders, from government that will speak at the conference. And then there’s always things that you just walk around and you see both from a competitive standpoint and from a technology standpoint that is interesting. Because the other thing we haven’t talked about here today is: partnership is key in whatever happens in the future of space. No one company is gonna be the solution set that is going to drive us to be what we need to be in space with respect to national security or even our commercial capabilities that every part of the ecosystem today demands that space is there at every moment of every day, whether it’s communications or GPS or anything else of that nature.”

From the perspective of the Frontgrade CEO, the upcoming Space Symposium is simply THE place to be: “There is nowhere else that we go, that I can literally touch every customer we have in a matter of two or three days. Everybody is there. You know, we support the European Space Agency from our facility in Sweden. They are a great partner for us in developing capabilities that we couldn’t develop ourselves. They’re gonna be there, so the Director of the European Space Agency. You’ll see leaders from NASA.”

He then shares that he was initially a little concerned about some of the Trump administration’s governmental directives about not travelling that could potentially result in fewer government officials showing up this year, but he recently talked to Space Foundation’s CEO Heather Pringle (a retired US Air Force major general who last served as the Commander of the AFLR) who reassured him that “the Space Operations Command had made this mission [attending Space Symposium 2025] essential for their employees (https://www.spoc.spaceforce.mil/About-Us/About-Space-Operations-Command) and gave him “very high confidence that this would be one of the most well-attended Space Symposiums ever” despite those recent governmental directives.

Humans see in 3D.
" BrainChip’s Akida brings this innovative ability to look at vision, video, and other three-dimensional data as time series. An object visible through multiple two-dimensional frames, computed with the time element as the third dimension, makes video object detection much more effective. Akida’s support for efficient spatial-temporal convolutions makes this use case significantly faster with lower energy consumption."

Game changing. See Aug'23 Forbes article below.

Old news, we were looking at documentation on this 3 years ago.
You need a controlled environment to run the bloody thing, and it requires a fair bit of juice.
