BRN Discussion Ongoing

[HarryCool1]

There are a few more that could do with your assistance

Nah. You're cool Harry.

Manny.
That is great (appears from paper possibly a Aug 2024 paper) but what we need is confirmation they are still researching after Nov 2025 when their BRN licence expired. I recently sent a letter to IR at brainchip asking what is going on with licence status and if not renewed will this be a ASX release since the original announcement from brainchip resulted in an ASX announcement. Thus in my mind they must then counter and advise the market that the licence was not extended as this would be price sensitive (in a negative way albeit but required by the rules). Anyway as per the last Company broadcast re future shareholder correspondence/responses, nothing not even a got your letter and thanks.

Yes, it is disappointing that you did not even get an acknowledgement from IR.
Megachips evidently played a large part in the design of AKD1500.
Brainchip announced the M.2 card was available in January 2025. The NAIST article was published 22August'24.
I would not be surprised if Megachips did an about face and decided to use M.2 cards for demo models. That way an upgrade to AKD1500 is simple and later it could be upgraded to AKD2500 chips when they are available.
That way Megachips then have the option of a contract for volumes or a license and can chose when if ever they wish to take out a license.
Growth demand for robotics in Japan will likely play a part in license timing.
It is evident that NAIST was developing Algorithms with AKIDA1000 when the article see link below was published on 22nd Aug'24. Megachips at that stage would be locked into using AKIDA given Demo robotics was on display in September 2025.

Just my take on it.

Hi Manny,

I don't see Akida 2 replacing Akida 1. Akida 2 will take a lot more wafer real estate per chip, making it more expensive to manufacture. In addition, its additional capabilities, mainly due to TENNs, will justify a higher price. In addition, the switch from a packet switched interNode comms mesh to a solid state switched comms mesh will improve latency and power usage. Thus I believe that Akida 1 will be the base model, Akida 2 will the family station wagon and Akida 3 will be the lambo, but all with various versions of the Rolls Royce merlin engine. Well actually, TENNs is even more powerful, more like a switch from IC to electric with the accompanying improved torque characteristics.
