Totally understand mate. My emoji was more so for a "uh oh Chongo" type reaction (trouble). 100% agree that it's certainly better to ere on the side of caution. Great call.

Nice article here from Edge Impulse about the need for businesses to use EdgeAI and move away from the Cloud:
www.edgeimpulse.com
"Those who dismiss edge as all hype, while failing to recognize the diversity of edge computing applications, will be the ones left scratching their heads at where they went wrong."
Why a Complete Edge Strategy Will Help Business Leaders Win
Digital transformation has been in full force over the last few years but very few are prepared for the upcoming shift to edge computing.

IMO you are spot on the money. Amazing!
The longevity, with our tech in those electric applications/devices, would certainly be enhanced and therefore beneficial to those type of missions.
There is no doubt that BrainChip's Akida shall be ubiquitous in my mind.

Tech,This company has shown itself to be a brilliant promoter of all things Brainchip.
The amount of articles and live demo's truly reflects great passion in the Akida technology.
This type of open support is priceless, and I think you'd agree that this is only the start of much more "Free advertising to come our way".
Normally with the ASX it's a case of "stay away in May" but I feel a strong sense that there's going to be quite a lot of
"washing" going on this month of June...THEN STANDBY... July is the start of a very exciting 12 month period, based on what ?
Based on what we all believe to be true, revenues starting to show up, more Tier 1 companies coming out of stealth mode, more IP contracts emerging...BUT let's just pace ourselves over the entire 4 quarters.
How does the Nanose Medical device play out ?
Do they buy the IP and work in with SiFive or Edge Impulse now ?
When does "real revenue" really start to show up ?
In 2 years ?
Yesterdays Podcast was excellent, we finally heard from someone more excitable than Rob, Marc sounded extremely passionate, basically anything he said was BrainChip without mentioning us directly !
This next chapter will be the best yet, proof of concept is so yesterday's news....Love Brainchip
The podcast was great, as was the Commsec interview.
Key utterings post the AGM (imo) have been in Sean's reply to Tom P.
FIRSTLY (capitals do apply, he was shouting this message) we "...build a large, sustainable multinational..."
...one that has stuff like revenue, cash flow, even profit (why not, at the IP business model margins) !
And with that "sustainable multinational" standing proudly, the ASX can get in the habit of treating Brainchip anns. in the same spirit as they were submitted. Especially as by then BRN will likely be in the ASX 50 and warranting more than a little deference from the ASX.
So then, that's the point where becoming the "...de facto standard for Edge AI for the whole world," kicks in.
Previously ignorant fundies finally bone up on things neuromorphic, certain convolutionists apologise for their lack of foresight, Peter receives a well-earned gong for "...services to Australian science and industry..." and everything is right in the world of BRN LTH's.
How can I be so positive? Sean said the magic words, ending with "at the next AGM..." That timeline still requires a tad of persevering, but now, for all, it is tangible, touchable, credible.
Plus the reinforcement from so many sources these past two weeks.
Rest easy fellow BRNers!

Great article as you have said @SharesForBrekky and what’s more it is first in a series of articles so clearly they are embarking on a campaign to bring their ARM customers to the Edge.Nice article here from Edge Impulse about the need for businesses to use EdgeAI and move away from the Cloud:

Some snips from recent Renesas article with link to full article below.
Interesting basic business insight to the thinking, planning, roadmap and execution.
semiengineering.com
Renesas’ EVP on M&A, disaggregation, customized solutions, and how and why the various technology pieces are shifting.
MAY 26TH, 2022 - BY: ED SPERLING
Sailesh Chittipeddi, executive vice president at Renesas, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to talk about how changes in end markets are shifting demand for technology. What follows are excerpts of that conversation.
SE: Renesas has acquired a number of companies over the past several years. What’s the goal?
Chittipeddi: The goal very simply is to create an industry leading solution provider addressing the industrial, IoT, infrastructure and automotive markets. We are strengthening our market leading position in embedded processing with acquisitions that strengthen our presence in four specific domains — power, sensing, connectivity, and actuation. Historically, Renesas had a major focus on the automotive industry even though it did sell microcontrollers into other markets. What we’ve done since 2019 is to reposition the company into two major business units — Automotive, and IoT and Infrastructure Business Unit (IIBU). Today IIBU has become the bigger part of the company, both through organic growth and the acquisition of Intersil, IDT, Dialog, and now Celeno.
SE: No one chip is going to dominate everything in the future, because we’re seeing a lot more heterogeneous designs even from large chipmakers. How does that fit into your strategy?
Chittipeddi: Yes, you are correct. We are seeing a lot of start-up activity in AI, edge, or endpoint AI companies, and several of these are optimized for specific workloads. A big part of it is really about intelligence moving to the edge. But it’s not just about the CPUs from companies like AMD and Intel, or GPUs from NVIDIA, or TPUs from Google and the rest. As processors get more complex, you need more digital multi-phase controllers and smart power stages. You need memory interfaces and timing devices. We see ourselves as an attach opportunity for these core processor providers.
SE: So where do you see this going? Will chips disaggregate even further into smaller and smaller components? Or will it hit a limit where it’s too difficult to integrate everything?
Chittipeddi: Some level of integration will always be needed, and that’s going to be workload-dependent. The reason it’s disaggregating is that it’s dependent on what you’re trying to do. So for certain kinds of workloads, MCUs probably will be more than adequate. For others, you’re probably going to need an AI-optimized chip. And for voice applications, for example, there might certain specific neural processing chips. And for vision AI, you might need another category.
SE: So how does all of this begin changing the MCU?
Chittipeddi: Originally, you had all these companies that were doing proprietary cores, where you had the hardware and the software to give the customer the whole complete solution. With Arm we have created an ecosystem where you have a more flexible software package. Lately, we have been making progress in MCUs with our RISC-V products, the initial one which we optimized for motor control applications. Now, we’ve introduced RISC-V for voice applications. And the nice thing about it is we can extend that concept into other areas, such as a RISC-V IoT gateway MPU. The transformation on the MCU and MPU side is journey, which over time will accommodate all three cores — the proprietary internal cores, ARM cores, as well as RISC-V cores based on application and region specific needs.
SE: Are there enough commercially available design tools, or do you need to develop them internally?
Chittipeddi: For first pass, we relied on a third-party RISC-V core. But we are developing the RISC-V core ourselves so we can optimize those for what we need.
SE: And if you have the compilers, then the idea is that you can optimize them very quickly, right?
Chittipeddi: Yes, but we don’t have a choice. There are customers that are always going to want handholding and a black-box model, and if you don’t support them, you’re in trouble. But there are customers in other regions of the world that don’t want to pay the Arm royalty. And then you have the customers in geopolitically sensitive areas that are worried about lack of access to IP type of issues. For them, RISC-V is the only open ecosystem out there. So you have to operate in all of these diverse environments.
SE: Is that 7 to 10 years you talked about because things are moving from mechanical to electrical? Or is it because change is happening so quickly, that they need to stay current?
Chittipeddi: It’s the latter. The changes are happening rapidly. And the notion of power efficiency, power consumption, and new systems is becoming far more important to people. They’re recognizing that sustainability is not just a couple of points for the stock price. It has to be a way of life, and that is driving a change in behavior — especially in the industrial segment.

Agree. Totally agree.
I have had such angst about U.S. participation in our companies prospects I am at a loss for words. What and where is Integrous??? Why is the take up in ADR shares virtually non-existent? Something is definately missing here, and I cannot put my finger on it.
I recently discussed that one of Sean's stated goals is to get the word out about Brainchip. My thinking then and now, is that the word needs to be taken directly to the investment community in the United States.
At this point I am so frustrated that I would be even willing to have Sean, or Jerome, or Rob, or Anil, etc. make an appearence on the Mad Money clown show. Something .....anything. Regards, dippY

Hi cosors,
When there is little volume, the market-makers drastically increase the spread between bid/ask to make it worth their while.
The spread narrows when there is substantial volume being traded.
Nothing to worry or to get excited about.

My understanding is it can process on the device then it can send the processed info to thr cloud thereby the processes is done much faster as its on device and not needing cloud but then it csn distribute to the cloud if it wants to bit like sharing.

Hi dippY22
I took Sean's comment on getting the word out as marketing Brainchip to other companies which haven't heard of Brainchip yet.
Because of the innovative technology, it is better if they get the word out in person on a corporate level at the moment, rather than making an appearance on TV shows.
So awareness of more companies would bring more potential contracts, which will in turn help us investors in time.
The issue with shows like Mad Money etc. are they're so against tech companies, wouldn't understand what Brainchip does, and can cause more harm than good. Also I don't understand how people watch his shows, I cannot stand his annoying shouting

Yes, yes,....you are probably right BL. Mostly I am a frustrated by the lack of volume and virtually zero ADR volumes. Why? Why is there not interest in the ADR shares? And I was seconding Diogenes concern(s) about a lack of interest beyond Australia and Germany, keep in mind.
Cramer is a clown show. Agree, and I was being "somewhat" facetious.
But can someone advise what has the Integrous relationship provided during the last year? I'm sure Brainchip is paying for something?
Are others happy with the success of Integrous ... " (helping to) attract additional institutional investment while maximizing the returns for our current shareholders " ??? I'm not.
That quote is from the July 14, 2021 Business Wire announcement of our new Integrous association. It also states that Integrous will lead Brainchip's financial communications and strategic investor relations initiatives. Oh? Is that so?
Perhaps our Brainchip - Integrous investor relations initiatives are under NDA's. What else can explain that all we hear from this relationship are crickets?
Oh, well, at least U.S. retail nudged BRCHF shares up 4% today.
Regards, dippY
I hear you dippY.
I feel we are still flying under the radar in the US market for many reasons…
1. Sean admitted that our corporate message was confusing, but that is being addressed via rebranding.
2. Only the very techy folks know of BrainChip, but not yet the mainstream business people.
3. I feel, once our royalty model gets validated, people will start paying attention.
4. BRN.AX, BRCHF, BCHPY…very confusing. I mean, who knew of ADRs?
5. Being on the OTC doesn’t help in the US.
6. Nasdaq can’t happen soon enough…but should only happen after revenue flow.
