In this episode, we spoke with Sean Hehir, CEO, and Jonathan Tapson, Chief Development Officer, of BrainChip about neuromorphic computing for edge AI. We covered why event-based processing and sparsity let devices skip 99% of useless sensor data, why joules per inference is a more honest metric than TOPS, how PPA (power, performance, area) guides on-device design, and what it will take to run a compact billion-parameter LLM entirely on device.

We also discussed practical use cases like seizure-prediction eyewear, drones for beach safety, and efficiency upgrades in vehicles, plus BrainChip’s adoption path via MetaTF and its IP-licensing business model.

Key insights:

• Neuromorphic efficiency. Event-based compute minimizes data transfer and optimizes for joules per inference, enabling low-power, real-time applications in medical, defense, industrial IoT, and automotive.

• LLMs at the edge. Compact silicon and state-based designs are pushing billion-parameter models onto devices, achieving useful performance at much lower power.

• Adoption is designed to be straightforward. Models built in standard frameworks can be mapped to BrainChip’s Akida platform using MetaTF, with PPA guiding silicon optimization and early evaluation possible through simulation and dev kits.

• Compelling use cases. Examples include seizure-prediction smart glasses aiming for all-day battery life in a tiny form factor and drones scanning beaches for distressed swimmers. Most current engagements are pure on-edge, with hybrid edge-plus-cloud possible when appropriate.

Despite the dismal share price, there is plenty going on, we are ALL being tested, and as the years have continued to tick by with many I'd suggest haven fallen by the wayside, I will admit that I'm rusted on until the fruit is delivered, either delicious or rotten..I simply say, ask yourself these questions, has the technology continued to grow ? has any other company really excelled at the edge with regards revenue to date ? has our patent fence been breached ?
If you listened to Dr. JT in that recent 6 man panel he talked about the paranoid behaviours being very common amongst companies sharing code etc with 3rd parties in their persuit of assessing if another companies tech is a good fit for their product roadmap moving forward, even admitting that we, Brainchip are just as paranoid in protecting our technology.

OpenAI seems to have gained and is gaining a bigger foothold in this market that is clearly advancing so rapidly that players haven't yet established the right protocol's within their own business modelling to cope, which was suggested was the cause of what appears to be companies caught up in quicksand, as in delays to clearly commit because of the rapid change being witnessed at the coalface.

Regarding staff movements, or being told to walk the plank, the Ethics that Brainchip has committed to are very clear, especially the Code of Conduct that all staff must abide by, it's available for any shareholder to read and absorb.

The final comment tonight is this:

THE CLOCK IS TICKING

Tech

I feel the same way Tech, you've summed it up perfectly.

Looks like BrainChip’s coming to this event

We’re thrilled to reveal the incredible line up of panel speakers coming to Semiconductor Australia 2025.

Three feature panels will bring together some of the most influential voices across defence, aerospace, chips, investment, and quantum to tackle the big issues shaping Australia’s sovereign capability and strategic future.

Our feature panel ‘Leading from the Front: tech sovereignty, strategic deterrence, and building Australia’s innovation arsenal’, will examine local success stories and Australia's rising sovereign capability in defence and dual-use technologies.

As global tensions reshape supply chains and strategic alliances, the panel will ask the hard questions: how do we leverage sovereign technologies to strengthen deterrence, attract strategic capital, and integrate cutting-edge innovations into defence and industry?

Moderated by Bell Potter Securities’s James Berman, the discussion will explore how Australia can lead from the front in building an innovation arsenal that keeps pace with the world’s fastest-moving competitors.

The panel includes Defence Council’s Dr Jens Goennemann, DroneShield Angus Bean, Hypersonix Inc. Matt A. Hill, Visionary Machines Sonny Foster, and Wrays | Intellectual Property Paula Adamson.

Another quarter, Q3 2025, without any new IP contracts... it's really sad that I am still hoping maybe next quarter might be different...

 

[IloveLamp]

Interested to hear some opinions on this. Highlighted below is a snippet of JT talking about akida tech on the latest podcast.

He goes on to describe akida as working on silicon "OR IN OTHER COMPUTING TECHNOLOGIES"?

Now he could just be referring to software, but it would be an odd way to describe it

I am wondering if he's perhaps referring to things like graphine etc??

Intriguing imo

Good podcast with some probing and intelligent questions.
I thought both Sean and Jonathon acquitted themselves well and it was good to hear Jonathon mention a product by the end of the year.

"Jonathan: Yeah, sure. There's a kind of threshold with LLMs, for example, that if you have less than a billion parameters, you just don't get a really human kind of response. It's not grammatical. It's not logical. It's words, but it's word salad. And above a billion, suddenly, there's almost like a phase change. You get a human quality response. And so our ability to put a model above that billion-parameter threshold on the edge with no web connection or cloud connection is transformative. I think that's the most exciting thing that we see coming along in the next two or three years. And again, to Sean's point, I mean, these models got bigger at a rate of four or five times per year. So that's 125 times in three years if you compound it, so to speak. We really have seen that growth and been able to keep pace with it. I've got to be able to deliver at that scale, which is great.

Sean: I would say one thing, Erik, if I could. This company, the vast majority — I don't know the percentage here in front of me. The vast majority of this company is nothing but scientists and engineers. We have world-class scientists that are doing nothing about keeping abreast and leading model advancements and world-class engineers building the best silicon and software stack. That's all we do. We're thinking about this night and day, about how to get these models around exceptionally well on the edge.

Erik: So, Jonathan, it sounds like LLM on the edge is not quite here yet, but you're expecting it within one or two years to be capable. Can you explain?

Jonathan: Yeah, I would say less than that. We've demonstrated it, and we expect to have a product by the end of the year."

Beyond that Sean sounded both confident and enthusiastic which is of course expected from him, but, it just feels a bit more real this time around.
Well worth a listen.
It's been a long haul to here, but hopefully we are getting towards the pointy end now.
Bring It, BrainChip!

Hi Hoppy,

3 months ago in the Roadmap, JT said that GenAI was available as FPGA and they expected silicon (ASIC) within 12 months. Either that was conservative, or GenAI has been prioritized.

To make GenAI semi-autonomous wrt the cloud, it may use RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) with a lot of auxiliary memory.

They talk about 1 billion parameters as a yardstick. Given that this could be up to FP32, that's quite a lot of memory for an edge device.

But, apart from that, the nodes will probably still be the TENNs 128 MAC arrays requiring (comparatively) very little adjustment to the tapeout. That said, I suppose that the MACs will need to be adjusted to handle FP32, and maybe that's where the ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) comes in. SO, ok, there will be a lot of tapeout work required*.


* I'm submitting this to Guinnes for the fastest self-contradiction ...

Case Study: Jetson + Akida vs. Conventional AI​

‍

At the National Security Collaboration Center inside UT San Antonio's San Pedro I building, the AI Cowboys tested a hybrid system combining the NVIDIA Jetson Orin AGX with a BrainChip Akida PCIe Board.

• Traditional Jetson-only workload: Continuous anomaly detection on video streams at 120 watts.
• Jetson + Akida neuromorphic hybrid: The same workload, the same accuracy—at just 9 watts.

Interestingly, 3 of the 6 guys from AI Cowboys are retired Air Force, so I wonder if our new vice president of sales is connected?

It is certainly interesting and could benefit BRN.

Those of us who Alf on LinkedIn know he is very selective on what he likes or posts. Any likes are only against known collaborations and activities relevant to BRN. And yet, he has liked two posts on this Weebit release in the last hour. As a holder of both companies I am intrigued… and excited about the possibility.

It may
