Akido 1000 lol.Well.. for all we know, they might as well wait for Akido 3.0 ir Akido 69 at this rate...
Great answer Quiltman. “Very good chance, but not definite”. The design cycle timeline lines up perfectly and I agree the royalties on sales would be the most likely scenario. From the limited spec details we know, its hard to see it being anything else.Good points ...
With reference to Valeo, a "Joint Development " agreement can have numerous commercial iterations. There was agreement with Valeo that would cover some of BrainChips development costs, but no insight to what the commercial outcome of a successful "development using Akida" would be like.
From articles in 2020
Tech developer BrainChip (BRN) has signed a joint development agreement with European automotive supplier Valeo for its Akida system.
Valeo supplies sensors and systems for autonomous vehicles (AV) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
The tier-one auto supplier will incorporate BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic System-on-Chip (SoC) as a neural network processor in Valeo’s sensing system.
The SoC will be developed to process data and learn in a way that is a lot more focused and streamlined than previous system architectures.
The low-power, reliable system will bypass the need for an exterior processing unit to integrate large amounts of sensor data, and instead provide a potentially better and more elastic solution in one compact package.
Most likely commercial outcome, IMHO, is a royalty from sales.
Something like 1% - 2%
And this would only become " worthy of ASX announcement" on sales being achieved. Even though Valeo have pre-orders etc, what happens if Valeo goes bust, or production fails etc. etc.
So my logic goes, it's been 3.5 years. Valeo scientists were lauding Spiking Neural Networks as the future back in 2018, they choose to work with BrainChip, so Valeo have been at it for more than 5 years, nothing has been announced that the joint development has been terminated. Is it SCALA 3 ? Very good chance, but not definite. We could still be "developing"
Great points..Great answer Quiltman. “Very good chance, but not definite”. The design cycle timeline lines up perfectly and I agree the royalties on sales would be the most likely scenario. From the limited spec details we know, its hard to see it being anything else.
As a developing company, BRN have made great progress in the last 2 years. As shareholders it’s been a horrendous 2 years. I genuinely think the next 2 years will be what we all thought the last 2 we’re going to be and commercial traction will start to reveal itself, and probably sooner rather later. Renasas chip released soon, Mercedes reveal soon, scala3 release soon and gen 2 prove out any minute. All pivotal moments either way to come between now and Xmas.
There were obviously a few nibbles at Akd1000 that hopefully bear fruit soon, but gen 2 is what it’s all about. If it’s announced as successful very soon, Antonio said companies were waiting for general availability before committing so that hopefully translates to licence news soon too.
Without immediate news unfortunately we might see .20’s this week but by Xmas I think it will be a different story. It’s tough to watch but this isn’t the end, it’s a lull.
(If we are still flailing in the same commercial position 12 months from now then we have problems)
Agreed mate. Would be nice if our CEO came out of the woodwork once in a while..The last investor updates had proven shorters and fools right about the company and we holders wrong. I don't know what is behind the scenes but the words were almost exact. Our 1.0 was not robust enough to support the sp. Which in other means stands no where.
I am a believer of technology and believes company will learn from their failures and come out of dark. We have better ecosystem, better products , better market insights than what we had 3 years ago. So hopefully things will change for better.
I also believe that 1st strike was an eye opener for the management and if they cannot improve in time that means we are in serious trouble now.

Listening to the update provides an answer to a lot of unanswered questions e.g departure of LDN, why company was looking for a technical person to head the company, why company changed it's policy on public disclosure after LDN.The last investor updates had proven shorters and fools right about the company and we holders wrong. I don't know what is behind the scenes but the words were almost exact. Our 1.0 was not robust enough to support the sp. Which in other means stands no where.

Bloodbath? Hahaha
By now this is a standard week for BRN holders.

Absolutely correct.This is not a positive. Well done to the 50 odd people that liked ROBT "buying up big" post
It took 3 minutes to look up how ROBT is composed. All tech companies in this ETF are ranked into 3 categories. 30 companies per category. Each company has the SAME equal weighting with this being rebalanced quarterly.
SO the only reason they are "BUYING UP BIG" is because they have to due to BRN share price falling quarter on quarter on quarter. The "BUYING UP BIG" is to keep BRN weighted the same in the category they are in.
I guess this post wont get 50 likes even though its correct and factual.

"The share price will do what the share price will do"
Spoken by a person that will never put one dollar of his own money into the company.

It says the "index selects the top 30 companies within each category", so that's pretty good! I mean, they've selected NVIDIA, Tesla and Valeo, so we're in good company right?
