I was watching on youtube about - Nvidia packs big AI power into a small, affordable package with the Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit, priced at just $249. - surely impressive


So i decided to ask chat GPT…
How is jetson nano compare to akida chips?

Answer:
The Jetson Nano and Akida chips are both designed for AI processing at the edge, but they differ significantly in architecture, use cases, and performance profiles:

1.
Architecture & Design Philosophy
  • Jetson Nano (by NVIDIA):
    • GPU-centric architecture (Maxwell GPU with 128 CUDA cores).
    • General-purpose edge AI module running Linux.
    • Supports standard deep learning frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, etc.).
    • Best for prototyping and running complex CNNs or DNNs.

  • Akida (by BrainChip):
    • Neuromorphic processor (inspired by the human brain).
    • Event-based processing and spiking neural networks (SNNs).
    • Extremely low power (microwatt to milliwatt range).
    • Purpose-built for ultra-low-power AI tasks like anomaly detection, sensor fusion, etc.
2.
Performance & Power
  • Jetson Nano:
    • Higher compute throughput.
    • Power usage: 5W–10W range.
    • Suitable for vision-heavy workloads like object detection/classification.

  • Akida:
    • Much lower power (as low as 100 microwatts for inference).
    • Less raw performance but highly efficient on small, sparse data.
    • Ideal for always-on edge applications like IoT, wearables, and health monitoring.

3.

Software Ecosystem
  • Jetson Nano:
    • Full Linux OS, access to NVIDIA JetPack SDK, deep learning libraries.
    • Easier for general AI developers and supports mainstream training/inference pipelines.

  • Akida:
    • Custom SDK with a focus on spiking neural networks.
    • Less general-purpose; steeper learning curve if you’re used to standard deep learning.
4.

Use Case Fit
  • Jetson Nano: Great for robotics, smart cameras, drones, and developer prototyping.
  • Akida: Ideal for power-sensitive edge devices like health monitors, security sensors, and embedded analytics where energy efficiency is critical.

"As I have repeatedly stated to other shareholders, the process of investigating the process of redomiciling does not mean that the Board has formally decided to redomicile to the US."
Hmmm, wouldn't you do your homework about redomiciling before making it known to your pool of shareholders, or where they trying to create mass hysteria!

"We expect this important issue will be discussed at length at the AGM in May and these discussions will be helpful to the Board in making an informed and balanced decision."
As some have stated on here, here is Tony D stating the smoke screen will tie up a substantial amount of time during the proceedings, minimising the time available for people to ask the important questions and get the answers they deserve.


Similar to what others have stated here, and imo, the redomicile topic should not be discussed at the agm. There really is no decision by management to redomicile, so this should not take up any valuable time at the AGM. Only the hard questions need to be asked about revenue, licences, etc, otherwise we run out of time and have those important questions left unanswered or just avoided. The pressure should be kept on the real problems that the company is facing right now, over anything else.

Humble Genuis i totally agree. This nonsense of redomicle is purely to defer and distract. How could anyone discuss this at the AGM when no details have been given.

They are just trying to distract shareholders from real issues like the remuneration report and lack of sales...

I hope people don't fall for it, otherwise nothing will be discussed at the AGM except this, and it will be absolutely pointless, but great for BRN as they'll get off the hook yet again!

New repository set up yesterday on GitHub by NeuroSyd with the title:

Akida-Seizure.

Nothing added as yet but you'd suspect given what they do at the facility it would be our Akida they either been or will be playing with.

Hi @Fullmoonfever,

I found this October 2024 paper titled “Neuromorphic neuromodulation: Towards the next generation of closed-loop neurostimulation” - co-authored by Omid Kavehei - that describes what the research relating to the NeuroSyd GitHub repository is likely going to be about.

Does Table 1, where Akida is falsely labeled as analog, seem somehow familiar?!

Turns out it was you who commented on this error after you had spotted that same table in an earlier version of that paper by the same co-authors in August 2023:

One of the co-authors happens to be Jason Eshraghian, who has been a Member of our Scientific Advisory Board since August 2024 and was a guest on one of the “This is Our Mission” podcasts shortly after the above 2024 paper was submitted (3 May 2024). I trust he has since found out that Akida is digital.

A corrigendum would have been nice, though.
But maybe he is too busy with other things, such as collaborating with Intel Labs’ researchers on this recent paper titled “Neuromorphic Principles for Efficient Large Language Models on Intel Loihi 2”?

A committee? Are you serious? This isn't the boys scouts or your local footy team, this is an ASX listed company regulated by ASIC.

Reminding you of your original comment - as regards the vote I am certain the Board would demand a unanimous vote on the proposed domicile....

NEDs have a legal obligation to act in the best interests of the company and its shareholders, and to exercise reasonable care and diligence. The board can not demand or dictate how a NED votes.

If the Board can "demand" and therefore dictate how directors vote, why do we have 4 non executive directors getting paid from a $700,000 salary pool (not including bonuses). The NED's role would be absolutely pointless if what you wrote was true (which of course it is not).

You are just embarrassing yourself now.
Buddy, you can quote bible verse if that floats your boat.
I'm talking lived experience.
And it wasn't in the boy scouts or with the local footy team, which I'm sure are both fine institutions.

But coming back to the topic at hand, which you seem rather eager to ignore in your rather rabid enthusiasm for Liebeskind.
Why hasn't he make a public appeal for our votes?
Is he afraid?
Is he too lazy?
Is he too good to talk to regular shareholders?

Hi Bravo,
I agree BODs should be accountable and should be questioned.
The AGM will be interesting.
I mentioned that a comparison between WBT and BRN in 5 years will be interesting. See my earlier post on estimated time frames for AI adoption.
Up until now it's 1%.
2025 to 2030 its estimated at 50% Adoption.
That is an exponential increase.
The next 5 years are make or break for BRN and holders.
The company is aware of this. They are of course extremely confident of the 'make it' side.
Renesas is an extreme example of the Early Adopter lengthy sales cycle.
Licence Dec 2020, chip taped out with a "3rd party" in Dec'22 and still waiting for revenue. But it will come.
I understand its frustrating.
As we move through the cycle the timeframes for adoption will significantly decrease.
Until we see decent sized bookings closed BRN will be classed as a spec stock - no doubt.
That is the punt investors take.
Will BRN 'make it' big in the next 5 years when AI is expected to grow exponentially?
We hold, buy or sell according to our personal view on that question.
For some its avoid. For others its a chance to accumulate early in the cycle.
I am patient, positive and personally bullish but I accept we are all different and have different views. Hence banter.
The next 5 years are make or break for BRN shareholders 😂 The next 5 years are 6ft under for some long term holders.

From the AMG Meeting Notice ASX Announcement on 1 April, Section 11.....you can read all about Steve Liebeskind..

For some reason I don't hear you demanding more information from Le or Garrick. Why are you not demanding that they come out publicly to justify why they should be re-elected? Their suitabillity/qualifications were covered under Section 7 and 8, just the same as Steve Liebeskind in Section 11.

For some reason it's ok for them but not okay for Liebeskind...

As I said previously, I am a long term concerned shareholder who wants change, and I believe Steve Libeskind is a good starting point to achieve that.

People will vote as they like, but don't act like it's a blackhole around Steve Liebeskind. He's previously been a NED for Brainchip, and you can see his information attached to the AGM notice.

His email address has also been published, and you can easily contact him in LinkedIn. It's for you to decide if you want to do this or not..

I have contact him and I like what I hear, so I will continue to ask people to at least consider his qualification to be a NED, instead of just doing what BRN tell you to do.

Why are they so afraid to have him as a NED?? What would be wrong with introducing another (or replacement) NED who will question the status quo at BrainChip?

No, thank you!

Duy-Loan lee, yes off course! Look at her career, very very impressive!

Ms. Lee has an impressive professional history, both technologically and in executive management, having retired from Texas Instruments (TI) as a Senior Fellow after 35 years. While at TI, she led the global R&D and advanced technology manufacturing from concept to high-volume production for TI’s multi-billion-dollar memory, DSP, and base station product lines and was issued 24 patents. In addition to BrainChip, she currently serves on the boards of Wolfspeed, Atomera, and Cirrus Logic. She was inducted into the Women in Technology Hall of Fame and became the first engineer to be inducted into the Asian Hall of Fame. She has received numerous recognitions for her philanthropic contributions worldwide, including Congressional Special Recognition. Ms. Le serves on the BrainChip board as a non-executive director and is a member of the Audit & Risk and Renumeration& Nominations Committees.

Nothing wrong with this guy either, a finance person.

Mr. Carrick held the positions of Head of Corporate Finance at Shaw and Partners Limited from March 2016 – July 2019, and Head of Equity Capital Markets at Commonwealth Bank from 2012-2015. From 1999 through 2011, Mr. Carrick was Division Director of Equity Capital Markets at Macquarie Capital. Mr. Carrick currently serves as Director of VCF Capital Partners Pty Limited and Non-Executive Director of Global Study Partners Holdings Pty Limited. Carrick is a graduate of the University of Sydney B.Ec, LLB. Mr. Carrick is the Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee and a member of the Remuneration & Nominations Committee at BrainChip.

The BoD are not out in the public for the company but gives advice behind the scenes so we actually have no idea how much they contribute to the company, but especially Mrs Lee impresses me with that CV. You can also find her on older YouTube clips where she tells about her life, which only impressed me even more, no doubt that the lady is extremely smart and driven.

The difference is the existing members were recruited onto the board.

Your bloke is trying to impose himself on it.

Anyway, this topic has been done to death here now and is likely getting pretty boring to most.

You strongly support Liebskind and have put your case.

I have no strong view on him either way but have refuted some of the assumptions and allegations you have made regarding the existing board members in your campaign to have him elected.

With no further information from him justifying what his imposition on the board would actually accomplish, beyond potential disruption, it’s a no thanks from me.

I’m going to leave this topic at that, as I don’t see much point in rehashing the same information over and over.

The Brainchip Poster's Spectrum:

View attachment 83597

Why the hell would you invest in Brainchip?

Does not own any shares.

Posts frequently.

Will give a love or fire emotion if anyone writes anything critical of Brainchip.

Hides behind strong anonymous identities.

‘Revenue… where is the revenue?…’

Focusses on the next AGM meeting and promotes a spilling of the board just one 1 month after the last one.

Will only focus on price when it is in a downtrend.

Will focus on criticizing poster rather than the matter at hand when there is good news.

Suggests but never proves they have insider knowledge.

When any positive announcements are made: ‘Wheeeerrrreee is the revenueeeee?’

Brainwashed Brainchippers:

Have gone ‘all in’ on Brainchip as an investment.

Posts frequently.

Will never give a like or emotion to anyone who makes good points. Other posters are not worthy.

Hides behind strong anonymous identities.

‘If you don’t like it, just sell.’

Thinks that posters who bring up the company’s costly 2 to 3 year mistake of flip-flopping between being IP or chips led is ‘crying over spilt milk’.

Will only focus on price when it is in an uptrend.

Gets very defensive when any kind of bad news is announced or spins a positive light on it.

Is Brainchip still a good bet?

Shares research that could be positive or negative freely.

Celebrates good news, but also acknowledges mistakes and possible red flags of the company.

Can change opinions.

Freely gives out likes when deserved.

Usually posts infrequently.

This is just an initial model. Feel free to adapt / add or subtract as you wish. If feeling offended, check the spectrum above and see that maybe balance isn't really your thing and either improve or shout at it a lot to make you feel better.

Its perfect Gaz, the great spiking neural network spectrum.
