“We have NASA working with us, we can’t really tell you what they’re doing but they’re trying to do things like realign their outer space things to recognise stars to get orientation”

Now what the hell could that be?

You are making an incorrect statement. It should read “what in the heavens could that be?”
You won’t recognise much in hell. 😂😂

Googled Todd’s statement


A star tracker is a small camera with a computer that carries a catalog of stars with known positions. As the camera observes the starry sky, the computer matches the pattern of stars in the images to its star catalog and determines the spacecraft's orientation in space. Using stars for reference allows a spacecraft to adjust its orientation to precisely target objects in space, such as moons or distant galaxies, as well as point its communications antennas to transmit data back to Earth.

Hi Fact Finder, I wonder how many of those private meetings were held with Prophesee's current partners as all of their products would be enhanced with Akida IP incorporated IMO.


View attachment 26460


Well there are two answers:

1. None because they have already had meetings in 2022 and are working on projects.

2. All because it makes no sense that they would not when they are already attending and or jointly presenting as Sony is with Prophesee in the same suite as Brainchip.

The idea that Prophesee partners are not lifting the bonnet to take a look at AKIDA when Luca Verre said that until AKIDA all previous solutions failed to optimise Prophesee’s event based sensors potential is illogical and why Prophesee made the point many of the 100 meetings are subject to NDA.

My opinion only DYOR

Ok, last one, because my imagination is running wild as to what Island I will buy my mom for next Christmas if these come to pass. Lol

I asked can you tell me the most influential partnerships the company Brainchip has established. Here is the answer. Now, it does mention Dell which is at least something we can join a solid dot to, but if This AI bot has somehow found a loophole into top secret information then the word ubiquitous is starting to make sense in Brainchips language.

The following are some of the most influential partnerships that Brainchip has established:

1. FPT Corporation - Brainchip entered into a strategic collaboration with the FPT Corporation to jointly develop and deploy AI-driven surveillance and cybersecurity applications.

2. AWS - Brainchip has partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to boost its AI solutionization, providing customers with a comprehensive cloud experience.

3. Microsoft - Brainchip has joined with Microsoft to provide state-of-the-art AI and edge computing solutions to business customers.

4. Dell Technologies - Brainchip and Dell Technologies announced a development and distribution partnership to integrate Brainchip's Akida Neural Processing Unit into server and industrial PC applications.

5. GlobalLogic - Brainchip and GlobalLogic forged a partnership to build AI-enabled solutions and analytics to help customers build cutting-edge applications using Brainchip's Akida NPU.

6. Winsonic - Brainchip and Winsonic have entered into a collaboration agreement to provide edge computing and AI-driven surveillance solutions on the Winsonic-enabled edge computing platform.

GLTA including the shorters.

Now, don’t go sell your house based on this Robot, but I just find it fascinating how convincing it makes it sound! 🙏
It's interesting and not at all fanciful, at least not completely.

ChatGPT, is basically just hooked up to "everything" on the internet, to provide the answers, create songs and poems etc, that it does.

How is it governed, to collect the information it provides?

It could be a bit of a "Millions eyes".

Nothing it has said in regards to BrainChip, is completely discountable..

From what I skimmed anyway 🙄..

It could also have made associations, with Musk's Brain Chip..

I'm amazed and amused at the story I got it to write for me.

Is this right Brainchip is still working with NASA.

I thought this had gone away because some of those nice people over at HC told me I was dreaming if I thought NASA was still involved.

Are you sure because they were only trying to save me by bringing balance and they seemed so genuine and if NASA is still working with Brainchip then what they were saying about Renesas, Ford, Valeo, Mercedes Benz and AKIDA technology may have not been right either.

And they seemed so nice and only wanting to bring balance and help all those who had bought in at a higher than the present price and convince them to take the loss and join an investment service where they would get the names of five better shares to loose their money on by spreading their risk.

Perhaps these sort of people were the inspiration for CHATGpt.

They like it are prepared to make up stories using incorrect or unverified information and then claim it is to help people.

Now that the FACTS are solidly against these parasites they will attack earnings and make up pretend charts to try and induce an irrational response.

Much like competitors do in business to try and steal customers or undermine market confidence.

I'm Spartacus!
That's true.. 2+ yrs in most roles.
That's the way of work nowadays.
Before I retired last year I was with the same small company for 30+ years over a couple of stints, but that was unusual even for my generation.
I grew with the company and it suited me as I was allowed a high degree of autonomy.
I was also lucky enough to be able to transfer around and so over the course of that time had about 4 different roles which kept me interested enough, until the pace of change wore me down and I'd had enough.
For someone coming up these days 2 years per stint is probably a fair average, with the emphasis being on 'move up or move on'.
Particularly in the Tech sphere where the imperative undoubtedly would be very forward looking and one would be encouraged to be continuously updating one's skill set.
It probably takes about that long to get enough experience in a modern organisation, such as ours, to decide if it's a good mutual fit anyways.

I am looking forward to further revelations from Brainchip and our associates as they unfold and with my recent purchase's now have my largest holding ever. I am anticipating being filthy rich in due course. 🤣
Obviously I believe that the share price will gain traction over time but that this is not a prime concern for the company.
Nor do I particularly want it to be their major focus.
I hope they will continue with their current strategy of building the business and embedding our involvement with other compatible organisations in a mutually beneficial way and am confident that in the mid to long term an increasing share price will be a natural by product of our development.

We have the better, cheaper and more efficient mousetrap already and are busy convincing other's our IP can be incorporated within their design.
We also have our rights to it protected as well as is possible by law, and our Founder is now freed up to pursue his vision of improved functionality in succeeding generations along with whatever else is in his mind for the greater good of mankind.

No doubt we will continue to be plagued by the practices of the manipulators and shorter's for some time yet, but the more integrated within our sector we become and the more confidence in our reputation for being a solid, reliable partner develops, the less impact such negativities will have.
I'm all in with Brainchip and am looking forward to 2023 and the further years ahead.
Excelsior BrainChip.

Just on Prophesee FF, I was looking at their job vacancies earlier to see if any snippets / clues as to next directions or current developments.

Here are a current couple I cherry picked that had some potential linking to AI / ML (inc an Internship) and trusting we are in there in the background as well.

Highlighted a few items that obviously include ARM, also Linux (which we know we have support for as per Edge Impulse and also Carnegie Mellon program "Each session will demonstrate and educate students about a working environment for BrainChip’s AKD1000 on a Linux system" - article HERE ), as well STM32 SOC (pretty sure can use Edge Impulse to STM32 (which is ARM Cortex M driven HERE ) as per:

Impulses can be deployed as a CMSIS-PACK for STM32. This packages all your signal processing blocks, configuration and learning blocks up into a single package. You can include this package in any STM32 project with a single function call. The CMSIS-PACK uses EON to run any neural network, and CMSIS-DSP for all signal processing code - ensuring that models run as fast and efficient as possible. In this tutorial you'll export an impulse, import the impulse into STM32CubeMX, and then integrate it in your STM32 project to classify sensor data.
Using this CMSIS-PACK is currently only supported from C++ applications using STM32CubeIDE, on all Cortex-M MCUs.

But....the biggest interest one for me is the Snr Embed SW Engineer.....developing for mobile platform, need to understand ARM on Linux, Android, real time processing pipelines on embedded platforms and also Snapdragon.

Now, I'm not techhy enough to be comfortable to say we can fit / assist within these parameters, believe we can, but maybe others can put forward their thoughts?

Ahh bloody toilets and dodgy plumbing hey, fun, fun.

I guess my expectations differ from reality. I have no doubt that deals and commercial relationships are being made behind the scenes. I also realise that these negotiations would be highly confidential and rightly so - that's reality.

My expectations after Rob Telson's pre CES comments about showcasing AKIDA tech with numerous partners clearly differs from reality. A sign with AKIDA written on it at a demo booth does not qualify as 'showcasing' in my reality. I imagined Rob, Anil, et al with our partners actually demonstrating to a crowd of CES visitors and media how amazing AKIDA is and what it can do to improve products and the world. I clearly have set myself up for disappointment and will temper my expectations in future.

Perhaps in this competitive tech world it's the pretenders who crow from the rooftops while the genuine contenders remain confidentially silent - I hope so.
If you were one of our big fish customers, would you be wanting to tell all your competitors what your
" Secret Sauce "' was after having most likely spent millions of dollars doing your own DD & Research on your proposed to market commercial product ????

Just for some context, when Todd says “end of next year” he is referring to end of 2023 because in the beginning of the video Todd touches on “one of the biggest announcements we had earlier this year was at CES”

So despite this interview only being posted today, it was conducted in 2022 so yes, renesas WILL have MASS VOLUME containing akida sometime at the back end of 2023.

So when we get quarterlies that don’t show any revenue, please don’t take your frustration out and blame the company, it is up to Renesas timeline not ours.
But I am confident we will get other licensing agreements before Renesas have put out products containing akida whether through megachips or standalone licensing agreements.
We have this current 4C coming up at the end of this month and there is still another 4C to go before the next scheduled AGMin May 2023 ..... I am personally quitely confident, that Sean H will make sure the 4C just before the May AGM will reveal explosive sales and Co revenues and give Sean H much creditability to any of his future statements as the Co's ongoing CEO.

I think that is too early for explosive sales. Hoping for decent sales at the backend of 2023. For me its better to have lower expectations and be surprised then the other way around. There was a ton of progress and partnerships announced last year and that takes time to come to fruition.
