BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Frangipani]

Each and every time I have raised the question, "Name another company who has really succeeded at the edge or far edge"
it's always been deafly silence, going back to the days when I used to engage with crybabies on HC.

Hi @TECH,

I don’t know how you define “has really succeeded at the edge or far edge”, but there are definitely other players targeting the Edge AI market today that are already making money such as Blaize, Hailo or MemryX. They may not be neuromorphic, but they are undoubtedly competing with us for a share in the market. Some of them even have big-money strategic investors that believe in their future potential.

Unsurprisingly, they are also partnered with some of our partners:

As far as we know, there is still no Unigen Cupcake Edge AI Server with an Akida configuration on the market - almost 1.5 years after it was announced (https://unigen.com/brainchip-and-unigen-jointly-launch-an-edge-ai-server-for-complex-applications/) and more than a year after @BrainShit had found a reference to Akida as an AI Option in a February 2024 version of a Cupcake user guide (https://unigen.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Cupcake-User-Guide-Ver-1.0.pdf). Surely, we would get a LinkedIn or X post once that happens…

Now that Akida is available on an M.2 factor, things will hopefully speed up:

Good evening from Kiwi,

This has probably already been cleared up during the day, but anyway......

The talk about USD or AUD with regards Seans RSU's etc..... our figures are always in USD, for example, the USAFL contract for
1.8 million was clearly in USD, that's how we trade, happy for Ken to correct me, but it's pretty black or white from where I sit.

The only time we don't is when we have raised funds through LDA Capital, which has/is always quoted in AUD, maybe, just maybe
in Lou's day it was in USD, but I can't be bothered double checking!

Serg explained it very clearly this morning, but we definitely report in USD.

Happy to be proven wrong...Tech.

US Air Force wants to develop smarter mini-drones powered by brain-inspired AI chips​

Published 14 hours ago
Plans are underway to create new AI-powered drones that can fly for much longer than current designs.

Although neuromorphic computing was first proposed by scientist Carver Mead in the late 1980s, it is a field of computer design theory that is still in development.

Scientists are developing an artificial intelligence (AI) chip the size of a grain of rice that can mimic human brains — and they plan to use it in miniature drones.

Although AI can automate monotonous functions, it is resource-intensive and requires large amounts of energy to operate. Drones also require energy for propulsion, navigation, sensing, stabilization and communication.

Larger drones can better compensate for AI's energy demands by using an engine, but smaller drones rely on battery power — meaning AI energy demands can reduce flying time from 45 minutes to just four.
But this may not be a problem forever., Suin Yi and his team at the University of Texas have been awarded funding by the 2025 Air Force Office of Scientific Research Young Investigator Program (part of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research) to develop an energy-efficient AI for drones. Their goal is to build a chip the size of a grain of rice with various AI capabilities — including autonomous piloting and object recognition — within three years.

AI-powered miniature drones​

To build a more energy-efficient AI chip, the scientists propose using conducting polymer thin films. These are (so far) an underused aspect of neuromorphic computing; this is a computer system that mimics the brain’s structure to enable highly efficient information processing.

The researchers intend to replicate how neurons learn and make decisions, thereby saving energy by only being used when required, similar to how a human brain uses different parts for different functions.
Although neuromorphic computing was first proposed by scientist Carver Mead in the late 1980s, it is a field of computer design theory that is still in development. In 2024, Intel unveiled their Hala Point neuromorphic computer, which is powered by more than 1,000 new AI chips and performs 50 times faster than conventional computing systems.

Meanwhile, the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center develops AI software and neuromorphic hardware. Their particular focus is on developing systems for sharing all sensor information with every member of a network of neuromorphic-enabled units. This technology could allow for greater situational awareness, with applications so far including headsets and robotics.
Using technology developed through this research, drones could become more intelligent by integrating conducting polymer material systems that can function like neurons in a brain.
If Yi’s research project is successful, miniature drones could become increasingly intelligent. An AI system using neuromorphic computing could allow smaller and smarter automated drones to be developed to provide remote monitoring in confined locations, with a much longer flying time.

Interesting @IloveLamp.

By the way, I thought it was likely to have been Intel that Sean was referring to as being the multinational company that was considering licensing Akida but had to pull back due to various factors, including challenges and market conditions in the last 12 months, such as its stock falling 60%.

It's the 60% that caught my ear, since Intel's stock did indeed experience a significant decline in 2024, dropping approximately 60% over the course of the year. Just a mere coincidence? Methinks not.

thx @MDhere yep understood, think we're on same page, i'm merely aiming to clearly distinguish between "bookings" and ultimate revenue/royalties (same same i would think)

Yes $9mil booking/pre-commit was clearly this year as stated .... ! got it !

What's interesting is how this is linked to Sean's bonus/whatever incentive you call it, and how this is pro rata'd based on partial $9m, or totally zero bookings this year, and further, is it linked to a delvierable date for incoming revenue, again pro rata based on 26', 27' or.......

SSC Out !

SS. I recall Antinio saying no bonus until 7.2 mil hit then it scales up.

[GazDix]

Positives and negatives of the AGM for me and my perception.

Only one negative I have, but it is an important one.

- It has been mentioned many times about Viana's performance. No need to go over it in detail. But instead, focussing on that sort of personality. He will impact in a dominant way what the Board does and reacts/thinks. He said 'I personally take responsiblity' (for not putting out Non price Anns). So how is he leading the decisions in regards to ASX Anns? The cute Wayne Gretsky bullshit (made me vomit a bit) and then the weird 'we didn't say US' crap may be the sort of shit he pulls off in Board meetings... Like the 'upramping' rant - a personality who likes creating strawman arguments that shows he is more emotive than critical.

As mentioned at the Crapper, the Board also never spoke up when he made the 'we never said the US' garbage. Why? His two facedness when dealing with SL for the final resolution. A proper C U next Tuesday sort of bloke.
Not that I want to marry him, but The Board's culture was revealed a little during the AGM IMO and it isn't good.
We could have the best tech that could make a quadrillion dollars, but we won't if we have a Board that is not dynamic and choses to ignore its stakeholders.
This is a big risk to the company as a whole and how we ever execute or report anything especially when news could be good in the future.

- Sean's performance. Don't care too much. Reminded me of the 2023 one really.


Positives:

- In the tech speech it was mentioned more than once that 'it will be available in comprehensive silicon within 12 months' - referring to Akida 3.

- Shareholders speaking up and challenging the poor performance (especially in relation to communication). Great questions by FF and other SHs there in person apart from the numpties going off their heads.

- The company is listening to the tech demands and adjusting accordingly. Changing quickly in this industry is important. A roadmap finally in which even the dodgiest crypto companies have.

- In touch with at least 10 to 20 multinationals. One very large player that Sean mentioned more than once that cannot take on a risk now because they have laid off employees.


Overall, tech is still best in class. The Board isn't with its relationship to SHs. I think the way business is conducted will continue as usual. The waiting game continues. We need to deliver any kind of decent contract soon to catch the pump in M2 wave that will occur from here into 2026 (unless a black swan event happens). I think the odds of this happening is pretty good.
I've written to TD and expressed that we MUST put all X (Twitter) posts up as non-price sensitive ANNS as FF alluded to. There is just no excuse not to. Brainchip isn't responding the X followers. We are listed on the ASX.
I do worry about the execution of the good news when is happens, but it will happen in time.

I sort of agree, especially about refusing to acknowledge the redomicile "thing" a very odd thing to say.

The board should never argue with Antonio in public, never!

That about the worst you can do for a company.

Sadly, I didn't see the road map video, but it sounded like something that's very important for potential customers, showing them that BRN are a serious company. Hopefully it will be possible to see it soon.

All in all, I am positive and think things are about to happen.

Hmm, didn't we say that in 2023 & 24 LOL, no, I think this is our time: the next 12 month.

The board could've corrected Antonio without turning it into an argument, and should've imo, instead of letting him carry on telling the shareholder he was incorrect.

Clearly he doesn't read our announcements......or maybe he simply forgot. Either way, it's not a good look.

In this 29 April article about the Future of Neuromorphic AI in Electronic Warfare, Steven Harbour not only confirms a partnership between Parallax Advanced Research and Intel (no surprise here, as he already used to collaborate with them closely for years while at SwRI), but also one between Parallax Advanced Research and BrainChip:

Parallax Advanced Research and the Future of Neuromorphic Artificial Intelligence in Electronic Warfare

Parallax Advanced Research and the Future of Neuromorphic Artificial Intelligence in Electronic Warfare​

Published on
Apr 29, 2025

The convergence of artificial intelligence and defense technologies is poised to redefine the future of electronic warfare (EW). This shift, driven by third-generation AI techniques like spiking neural networks (SNN) and neuromorphic research, represents a critical step forward in equipping the U.S. military with innovative and adaptable solutions. We spoke with Dr. Steven Harbour, Parallax Advanced Research director of AI Hardware Research and a leading expert in neuromorphic research, to explore how his team is advancing AI capabilities and addressing emerging challenges in defense.

Parallax Advanced Research and Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) EW Team; left to right: Mr. Justin S. Tieman, Principal Engineer, SwRI; Mr. Keith G. Dufford, Senior Program Manager, SwRI; Mr. David A. Brown, Institute Engineer; and Director AI Hardware Research and Neuromorphic Center of Excellence, Parallax; Dr. Steven D. Harbour​

​

Exploring AI’s Next Frontier​

Traditional AI excels in tasks it has been trained on, demonstrating precision in recognizing familiar patterns and processing expected queries. However, Harbour highlights a significant limitation: AI's brittleness when confronted with the unexpected.



Humans, on the other hand, adapt to the unknown through cognitive problem-solving, a capability that AI systems must emulate to address future challenges effectively.

SNNs, inspired by the human brain’s functionality, offer a promising solution. Unlike traditional feedforward neural networks rooted in inferential statistics, SNNs excel in rapid decision-making under uncertainty, making them particularly suited for dynamic environments like electronic warfare.

​

Scaling Neuromorphic Systems​

Parallax is at the forefront of advancing third-generation AI algorithms, partnering with Intel and Brainchip to develop scalable neuromorphic hardware.



In terms of deployment, neuromorphic processors can be integrated into existing electronic countermeasure (ECM) pods, widely used in both Air Force and Navy operations. These pods, which are part of strike packages including crewed and uncrewed aircraft, offer a clear pathway for fielding these advanced systems across the Department of Defense (DoD).

​

The Role of Partnerships in Shaping AI Research​

Collaboration plays a pivotal role in advancing neuromorphic research. Parallax, headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, benefits from proximity to leading institutions like the University of Dayton and the University of Cincinnati. Harbour’s connections with researchers like Professors Dr. Tarek Taha, Dr. Chris Yakopcic, and Dr. Vijayan K. Asari University of Dayton and Dr. Kelly Cohen an Endowed Chair and Lab Director at the University of Cincinnati have led to innovative projects, including combining “fuzzy” logic with Neuromorphic SNNs to enhance AI decision-making.

Parallax’s independent research efforts are further bolstered by partnerships with institutions like Intel and Brainchip, ensuring access to cutting-edge neuromorphic technologies. These collaborations not only drive technological innovation but also foster a thriving research ecosystem essential for addressing the unique challenges of EW.

Evolving Applications in Defense Technologies​

Over the next few years, an AFLCMC initiative will focus on developing and deploying third-generation AI algorithms on neuromorphic platforms. According to Harbour, the initiative aims to create “fieldable systems that can operate effectively in air, sea, land, and space environments.” This vision extends to supporting broader DoD efforts, including AFRL’s test facilities and ongoing collaboration with Southwest Research Institute.

The adaptability of these systems will be critical for countering emerging threats. Harbour envisions a future where AI-powered EW solutions can address the unknown, enhancing situation awareness and enabling rapid response in high-stakes scenarios.

​

AI and the Future of EW​

As neuromorphic research progresses, its impact on EW solutions for the U.S. military is undeniable. From enhancing strike packages to integrating AI into naval, land, and space operations, the potential applications are vast. Harbour emphasizes the importance of continued innovation and collaboration:



Through its pioneering work in AI and defense technologies, Parallax is shaping a future where adaptability and innovation are the cornerstones of national security. By bridging the gap between academic research and practical deployment, the team is ensuring that the U.S. military remains at the cutting edge of electronic warfare capabilities.
