I have a question for everyone?
We holders ( including me ) believe that technology is real and we may be there with every technology company.
But the ground realities are we are one of the most shorted share on asx. And there is no interest from companies like Mercedes, renasas, Ford, megachips, tatas, SoftBank etc. to try to get a strategic position in our company even when prices are dirt cheap( as per us)
We are still selling our shares through LDA and they are the only financial partners to us.
So to me there are reasons to ask
1. Why company is not trying to convince some big players to make some strategic investment in company
2. Why Antonio is telling we share holders that akida 1000 was not robust enough.
Does it mean that technology is still not mature and we have to wait before expecting a quick turn around.

1. CEO and co-founders do not want strategic investments that would align BRN with just a few players.
2. Akida 1500 is robust but it is too expensive for a doorbell maker, for instance, to go off and manufacturer these chips. Manufacturers think it better to wait until someone (else) comes up with a chip that can do what the Akida1500 can do, that they can try out.
Questions for you, rg,
1. Would you be happy for BRN to raise another $5Mill to produce the Akida1500 at quantity and hand them out like they did with Akida1000.
2. Same question but with Akida2000.
Then I find this...
Renesas, Cadence and Brainchip.
I am not sure what LLM tool for up front chip design means. Any more tech savvy holders here have any knowledge of this tech?

Hi Cartegena,
Just happened to be passing by the Cadence patents in Espacenet, and came across this:
US10558774B1 Electronic library and design generation using image and text processing
The present embodiments are generally directed to electronic circuit design and verification and more particularly to techniques for generating electronic design element symbols for electronic circuit design tool libraries and designs in any desired format. In embodiments, such electronic design element symbols can be generated from a datasheet or any other image using image processing, graphical shape and text recognition techniques. Embodiments use step by step processing to extract feature vectors from a symbol/design image, apply text and graphical shapes recognition using models, apply techniques for data association and write the final output for targeted systems. These and other embodiments can feed back the output data for further refinement of the recognition models.
[0002] Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools are computer and software systems that are used to design and verify electronic circuits such as integrated circuits, application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and printed circuit boards (PCBs). Many EDA tools have software libraries from which components can be selected for inclusion in the design, which design can then be saved in one or more computer files. Such EDA tools from different vendors or even the same vendor can have different file formats for their libraries and designs, which formats are often not generically interchangeable. Accordingly, problems can arise during the process for designing an electronic circuit when a component is needed to be accessed either from a library or a design, but the particular EDA tool does not have the component available in the EDA tool's own format or cannot recognize the format in which the component exists in the library or design. A solution to these and other problems is therefore desirable.
In this case, I think LLM means Large Library Model, although the term is used for Large Language Model in ChatGPT.

WO2023117081A1 IN-MEMORY PROCESSING BASED ON MULTIPLE WEIGHT SETS 20211222
The invention is notably directed to a method of in-memory processing, the aim of which is to perform matrix-vector calculations. The method relies on a device having a crossbar array structure (15). The latter includes N input lines (152) and M output lines (153), which are interconnected at cross-points defining N × M cells (155), where N ≥ 2 and M ≥ 2. The cells include respective memory systems, each designed to store K weights W i,j,k , where K ≥ 2. Thus, the crossbar array structure includes N × M memory systems, which are capable of storing K sets of N × M weights. In order to perform multiply-accumulate (MAC) operations, the method first enables N × M active weights for the N × M cells by selecting, for each of the memory systems, a weight from its K weights and setting the selected weight as an active weight. Next, signals encoding a vector of N components are applied to the N input lines of the crossbar array structure. This causes the latter to perform MAC operations based on the vector and the N × M active weights. Eventually, output signals obtained in output of the M output lines are read out to obtain corresponding values. This allows distinct sets of weights to be locally enabled at the crossbar array, which makes it possible to locally perform rotations of the weights and accordingly reduce the frequency of data exchanges with a memory unit. This, in turn, reduces idle times of the crossbar array structure. Thus, the proposed approach makes it possible to substantially reduce the frequency of data transfers, which results in speeding up computations. Plus, the weights may possibly be prefetched, while performing MAC operations in accordance with the currently active weights. Of particular advantage is that the prefetching steps are at least partly hidden through pipelining. The invention is further directed to related devices, systems, and computer program products.

Very well said. It's just games now but we know what will happen when there's a sudden push up. It can jump by 4 or 5 cents in one day.
I hope they do intraday trading halt, and announce a large contract with a partner or NDA customer with the Gen 2 Akida. Now that would be amazing. We would hit 40 or 50 easily and extinguish the rats.
I assume the shorts should be closed by tomorrow latest and shares returned to the institutions.

I'd prefer 40 or 50 cents. Maybe one day

Hi,
First time poster.
Spotted an interesting patent issued last month, from a Japanese chip design company https://maviss-design.com (webpage we need the translate function).
Claim they are IP License partners with Renesas.
Connecting the dots that may not exist and this might not become a significant source of revenue anytime soon. However, it's intriguing that they may have acquired the IP in November 2021 (at earliest) and have a product close to on the market.

Before giving answer to your question let me say founder and CEO also have responsibility about saving share holders wealth. And second part I believe it is very difficult for small players to look through those opaque walls.
So to me either management provide us with definitive road map, or try to induce market interest by getting a strategic partner. But the way things are going only, looks like management is helpless and do not want to take risks to safeguard holders. Just saying sp will bounce automatically or product was not robust enough is not a right solution. I am holding coz I feel may be management will prove me wrong otherwise it could be a difficult situation for someone like me with limited resources.
Now on to your question, no I donot want management to raise money for akida 1500 until they have some pre orders.

I agree with you, however BRN is not unique. SiFive recently rejected an investment from Intel, but Syntiant did let Intel and Renesas buy in.
I personally would love it if MegaChips bought 5% of BRN, if it gets us moving.
Re Akida 1500 - I don't think management are even looking for pre-orders. They're just saying: Here is how you could design a chip with akida ip and get it built, once you have licensed the IP. So the question is really: is IP licensing the way to go when you're just a start-up?

Nothing to see here. They invite anyone to these summits. (Pessimist)
They're all using AKIDA. (Optimist)
How great it is to be recognised with these types of worldwide names. (Realist)
