BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Fact Finder]

Yep! They've realized that to satisfy their avarice they have raked it all in and the global economy is on the verge of collapse, so to preserve their wealth they are prepared to do a little penance and pay a bit of tax so the proles can keep their noses to the grindstone.

Sorry was that your lamp? I left it in the change room near the lockers after my shift finished. Really sorry. FF

So India has a government sponsored program to boost AI SNN/ML, and has a couple of Unis with standing room only lectures, while Australia has a couple of PhD students lucky enough to work at Brainchip's research labs.

PYFO Australia.

Dead right. Brain dead Australian Governments! Pardon the pun.

A fun fact if you are a citizen of any overseas country you can pay for a place at an Australian University.

If you are an Australian citizen you need to apply and compete against other Australians for a place and if the intake is 200 and you are the 201st best applicant you cannot become a full fee paying student and displace a full fee paying overseas student with less merit.

Sounds like a plan to keep the lucky country lucky just not smart.

Good thing the country is run by politicians who understand what we need not what we think we need.

For anyone interested: the Qualcomm CEO will be talking live on Bloomberg in 10 Minutes. There has been chatter that BRN could be in talks/planning with them. Also just good to hear his perspective on their market. as per below pic.

But if we don't stack the lecture rooms with full fee paying foreign students, how are we going to finance our universities and their research. (Do our unis still do research?)

Ok, so I can’t help myself, I have to get it out of the system.

It feels a bit like the end of the tech industry and start of a new revolution, or should I say ARMageddon ?

Brainchip got the Armor ready to take on the world! Watch out here we come, ARam you ready for this?

Personally, I can’t wait for the ARM GM tomorrow, roll up your sleeves Management and show us your Arm.

I could keep on going, but I need to sleep, here’s to a great day tomorrow, and best of luck chuck, break an arm.

Sorry in advanced

 

[Bravo]

Evening fellas, what a wonderful day for our great company. Let’s all get excited for the AGM tomorrow many things to come. It has been a year since the last 1!!!!

On another subject does anyone have a thought or two about how our growing partnership stable will result in revenue for Brainchip? I don't, so I am looking for some education on how these revenue streams may be constructed.

If we are partners with Edge Impulse, ARM, Nviso, SiFive, etc.... how might future revenue be obtained from these relationships? Does it happen because the aforementioned companies buy I.P. licenses from Brainchip? Or does it happen because customers of theirs buy I.P. licenses from them, and Brainchip gets a small slice of their revenue, and if so, how is that figured?

For example, if ARM's licensees reported shipments of say 7 billion ARM-based chips, and "xxx"% of those are wanting cloudless edge compute technolgy and ARM's solution is to incorporate Akida into those customers processors, what does that mean for Brainchip? Does Brainchip obtain an I.P. contract from ARM's customer or does ARM buy an I.P. contract with Brainchip?

Does a customer of say, SiFive or Nviso, who needs their onboard processors to work when passing through tunnels need to buy an I.P. contract with Brainchip, or....?

It hurts my head to consider the myriad ways Brainchip can leverage these growing partnerships into revenue. And I can't figure out if there is a "one size fits all" roadmap. Can you say, "Complex sales" with an emphasis on COMPLEX???

Anyone have some thoughts or ideas?

I recorded the interview on my phone just in case he came out with any nuggets. Obviously they are a huge supplier to Apple. The end of the interview is the most telling - Their future is moving to Android, Automotives, ADAS and IOT (Semiconductors at the edge were the words used also).

Sorry the video is too large to upload here it seems.

It would be great to see BRN partner up here with Qualcomm as they are definitely in the spaces BRN want to be.

Thanks FB, I watched it, it was pretty short but sweet, my favorite bit when listening to the Qualcomm CEO speak was when he said something like we are mainly focusing on edge

Nice one TG, yes they did cut it pretty short at the end just when he was getting into some more interesting talk.

You are correct - they are focused on the edge primarily you can see.

Exciting times ahead & right now for BrainChip, thanks again for the heads up to be able to watch it

Hi dippY22,

I think that royalties, and hence BRN's income, are calculated by the number of Akida NPU nodes that are used.

Now each use may attract a different royalty rate depending on various different factors, such as the actual number of items produced., eg $A per item for the first 1000000 items, $B for the next 1000000 and so on, where A>B.

Both the royalties and the initial sign-on licence fee will also be a matter for negotiation and hence commercial-in-confidence.

 

[Slade]

ARM are excited.

Sorry everyone, this was a reaction against other slightly, sorta-sexist posts - just trying to keep the equilibrium. Love youze all! B x

I saw you were on the warpath.

Did you notice my gender neutral reference to "persons"?
