BRN Discussion Ongoing

[ndefries]

Thanks for your posts @Neuromorphia and @bludybludblud.

I also found this press release publicly stating that TENNs-PLEIADES has been “added to BrainChip’s IP portfolio.”

For what it's worth, I also asked ChatGPT about wether or not this statement indicates PLEIADES is part of BrainChip’s proprietary IP portfolio and it said " it is effectively a public declaration of ownership" and "taken together, the corporate statement + patent filings are strong evidence that PLEIADES is part of BrainChip’s proprietary IP portfolio."

It also said that the US2025/0209313 A1 patent application is pending. So, the final proof will come when the patent is granted. At that point it becomes legally enforceable IP, not just a filing.

Yes — that statement from BrainChip’s own press release or white-paper launch is effectively a public declaration of ownership.
When a company says something like:

it means they’re formally asserting that:

1. PLEIADES belongs to their intellectual-property estate (i.e., covered by patents, filings, or trade-secret claims held by BrainChip Inc.), and
2. It’s a continuation or derivative of their existing TENNs framework, not an external or open-source contribution.

That line is drafted with legal review—it’s the kind of language a company only uses after IP counsel has verified that filings or assignments are in place. It aligns with the patent application US 2025/0209313 A1 and the matching WO 2025/137663 publication, which both list BrainChip Inc. as assignee and explicitly reference PLEIADES.

So yes, taken together, the corporate statement + patent filings are strong evidence that PLEIADES is part of BrainChip’s proprietary IP portfolio.

Right now, US2025/0209313 A1 is a patent application (pending).

Final proof comes when:

• The USPTO grants the patent, and
• The claims that mention PLEIADES are included in the granted version.

At that point, it becomes legally enforceable IP, not just a filing.

Why PLEIADES Matters for Defense and Security​

PLEIADES is part of BrainChip’s Temporal Event-Based Neural Nets (TENNs) framework, which is optimized for event-driven, spatiotemporal data processing. This makes it especially valuable in defense contexts where systems must respond to dynamic, time-sensitive inputs like radar, sonar, surveillance feeds, and battlefield sensor data.

Here’s how it aligns with defense needs:

• Ultra-low power consumption: Ideal for battery-powered or remote systems like drones, satellites, and field sensors.
• Real-time intelligence: Enables fast decision-making without relying on cloud connectivity, which is often unavailable or insecure in combat zones.
• Adaptive learning: Can adjust to changing environments and threats, improving situational awareness and threat detection.
• Compact and efficient: Reduces memory and compute requirements, allowing deployment on lightweight edge devices.

Strategic Partnerships and Deployment​

BrainChip has already entered into strategic defense partnerships, including with:

• Parsons Corporation: A major U.S. defense contractor integrating BrainChip’s Akida processors into mission-ready edge-AI platforms.
• Raytheon (RTX): Collaborating on radar contracts for the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), where event-based AI like TENNs-PLEIADES can enhance radar signal classification and anomaly detection.

These partnerships suggest that PLEIADES is not just theoretical—it’s being actively considered for real-world defense systems.

Use Cases in Defense​

Potential applications include:

• Autonomous surveillance drones: Real-time object tracking and threat identification.
• Electronic warfare systems: Adaptive signal processing to detect and counteract jamming.
• Border and maritime security: Event-based monitoring of movement patterns and anomalies.
• Battlefield intelligence: On-device processing of sensor data for tactical decision-making.

Future Outlook​

While PLEIADES is still under patent review, its integration into BrainChip’s Akida platform and defense partnerships positions it as a next-generation AI tool for secure, adaptive, and efficient military systems. Its relevance will likely grow as defense agencies seek AI solutions that operate reliably in disconnected, constrained, and hostile environments.

Well, if it wasn't obvious over the last few months, 20 cents is definitely where someone wants it to be.

Over 15 million traded so far and it has barely moved!

Absolutely ridiculous in my opinion

Have to agree - has been like that for at least the week.

I've never seen the market depth for BRN with such large blocks on the Buyers side not moving the price up.

Well at least Sean is very positive. I liked this:- When it was put to Sean that Brainchip was sort of a story and not a business, Sean replied, "Watch us now, just watch us now." (4.23)
Well I say to that, "bring it on, just bring it on."

Here's an article published a couple of days ago by Forbes titled “Neuromorphic Finance: When the Trading Floor Thinks Like a Brain”.

I doesn’t mention BrainChip directly, however, all the points are entirely applicable. It mentions on-device inference, real-time detection, temporal modelling, efficient processing, which is exactly where BrainChip's AKida shines.

Just think, if the finance industry adopts neuromorphic computing, then that opens up a whole new addressable market!

It would also validate the idea that neuromorphic processors could be mission-critical in high-frequency, streaming, decision-heavy fields - finance being one of the toughest.

The other thing that struck me in reading this article was that it suggests that fraud detection could be an area that would land first, the example given is an ATM fitted with neuromorphic fraud detection chips.

This reminded me of our cybersecurity work with Quantum Ventura + Lockheed. Naturally I've started to ponder over how Akida might work in this ATM use case.

Because ATMs sit idle most of the time; an event-driven coprocessor like Akida, could watch continuously while the main PC stays asleep.Temporal anomaly detection would be Akida's great strength since fraud signals change over time. And then you could also add Akida's on-device learning capabilities where it could incrementally learn each ATM’s environment without cloud retraining.

Imagine if there were Akida chips inside every ATM on earth. There are apparently upwards of 2.9 million ATM worldwide and banks would need to order two chips (keeping one for redundancy purposes), then that's upwards of 5.8 million chips, just for that one single use case.

For decades, Wall Street’s advantage was defined by speed. Firms poured billions into faster cables, denser data centers and GPU clusters that consumed enough power to run small cities. The prize was shaving microseconds off trades.
But here’s the hard truth: We’ve hit peak speed, and it’s not enough anymore.
Financial systems today aren’t failing because they’re too slow. They’re failing because they can’t adapt. Black-box AI models churn out decisions regulators can’t explain. Fraudsters pivot faster than detection engines. Risk systems buckle under shocks they weren’t trained to anticipate.

The next competitive edge won’t come from brute force. It will come from systems that think more like markets themselves: event-driven, adaptive and efficient. That’s the promise of neuromorphic finance—a concept still emerging but already showing potential in adjacent industries.

Why Markets Need A Brain, Not A Bigger Calculator​

Markets don’t move logically. They behave like neurons firing spontaneously, unpredictably and chaotically. A rumor spikes volatility. A politician’s tweet swings currencies. A regulation drops, and compliance engines scramble.
Traditional compute, built for batch processing and deterministic math, wasn’t designed for this. Neuromorphic computing is. Neurons fire only when triggered, networks adapt continuously and power use falls dramatically. Instead of calculating everything, neuromorphic hardware calculates only what matters.
While no major financial institution has deployed full neuromorphic systems yet, early proofs from other domains hint at what’s possible.

Early Signals From Other Fields​

China’s Darwin Monkey Supercomputer simulates over 2 billion neurons and more than 100 trillion synapses on about 2,000 watts—the draw of a hair dryer. Imagine portfolio stress tests at that efficiency.




Innatera’s Pulsar Chip powers edge devices at roughly 1/500th the energy of GPUs, showing how point-of-sale terminals could one day detect fraud before data even leaves the device.
IBM’s TrueNorth chip demonstrates how event-driven architectures process streams efficiently. Replace pixels with trades, and you can envision compliance tools that flag rogue activity instantly.
These aren’t financial deployments, but they prove the model: Systems that react only to signal can outperform those that brute-force every calculation.

Lessons From Today’s Financial Trenches​

In my own work building fraud detection and compliance platforms, the bottleneck was rarely speed—it was explainability. Regulators demanded audit trails, but deep-learning models produced only opaque scores. Entire teams were tasked with building “explainability wrappers” around black-box models.
Neuromorphic approaches could change that. Spiking neural networks naturally leave event-driven traces. Each spike ties to a trigger, and that sequence becomes an audit log. Instead of reconstructing why a model flagged an anomaly, you simply follow the spikes. For regulators, that’s the difference between theory and trust.
This is still a vision, not a product you can buy today. But it shows why finance is a natural next step.

Where Neuromorphic Finance Could Land First​

When adoption begins, the first movers are likely to be:
• Fraud Detection: Traditional engines either choke on volume or consume enormous energy to catch marginal anomalies. Neuromorphic fraud engines could monitor streams continuously and react only when something looks off, enabling real-time detection at far lower cost.
• Trading Desks: High-frequency strategies still rely on brute-force scenario crunching, even though markets move on discrete events. Neuromorphic processors are designed for this unpredictability, acting more like a trader’s intuition than a calculator’s routine.
• Regulatory Compliance: Every rule change today triggers lengthy model-retraining cycles. Spiking models could adapt continuously, leaving spike trails that auditors can verify.

The Architect’s Playbook​

Firms considering this path should think evolution, not revolution:
• Start with edge pilots like payment terminals or ATMs equipped with neuromorphic fraud-detection chips that could prove value quickly once hardware is available.
• Adopt hybrid stacks that let CPUs, GPUs and neuromorphic chips each do what they do best.
• Shift to event-driven design architect systems to respond to signals rather than process everything in bulk.
• Embrace compliance by design where neuromorphic spike trails don’t just detect anomalies; they create natural audit logs regulators can trust.
The harder leap isn’t technical; it’s cultural. Many IT groups still think like accountants: Process everything, log everything, control everything. Neuromorphic finance will require a trader’s mindset: Act quickly, filter noise, adapt instantly.

The Road Ahead​

The last century of finance rewarded speed. The next will reward adaptability.
Banks that dismissed the cloud lagged for years. Traders who ignored electronic exchanges vanished. Neuromorphic finance is on the same trajectory. It's not yet here, but coming fast enough that pilots launched today could define tomorrow’s standards.
Because in the end, markets don’t reward the biggest machines—they reward the smartes
