Feel your pain mate. I have had a few tough conversations with my wife as well. She is handling this downturn extremely well. Did your wife feel good about buying brainchip at a much higher prize? If so. Re affirm the mile stone and work that Brainchip has achieved since that point. Did you have a sales strategy? Like for example, me and the wife agreed to hold to 2025 after the Mercedes news. If you had a year in mind, then remind her that even though the share price would have been much higher at this point, you still would not have been liquidating your holdings based on your plan. This might give her a sense of peace of mind that it doesn’t matter where the SP is until your goal to hold past a certain time frame.

Allow your wife to express her concerns and sympathise with her feelings. Then help her understand why you are excited by the company and the technology and why you believe the SP is not a true reflection of who the company is, what they have achieved and where they are expected to be in the future.

Going through financial pressure like we all are experiencing today is hard on everyone to varying degrees. But by opening up the conversation and looking at the situation with facts and perspective, hopefully we can take some of the emotions away from the equation.

Again, I feel the pain, and wish you and the wife a prosperous long future together

No more than 1 hour after posting this, my wife had a bit of a breakdown. She has been doing really well, but today got to her. Can someone give me a pep talk now?

She just feels as though we must have missed something to cause it going from $2 - 18c

I tried the best I could to reassure her, but it is friggin hard to see you life savings under attack including 70% of life’s super.

What are people actual thoughts on why we are free falling? Let’s have a moment of real talk. I can’t think of one logical reason other than manipulation and uneducated retail freaking out.. in fact I only see positive after positive, but if anyone can think of 1 good reason to why we are free falling let me know. I need to know

 

[wilzy123]

A while ago I asked Zee if he could change the ignore feature so that when another poster replies to someone you’ve ignored, it doesn’t prompt to “show ignored content”

I don’t know about you guys but sometimes when you drive past a horrific car crash and the cops are trying to hide the fact that there’s blood and guts everywhere, you know you don’t want to look but it just happens instinctively.

He didn’t implement my request at the time but i thought I’d try again, and this time ask for a “delete poster” function.
So anyone else that likes reading their dribble will still see it but the poster will effectively and irreversibly cease to exist for me, and if someone else replies to them it will just seem like they’re talking to a brick wall.

Would this feature suit anyone else? Or are we all happy with the way things are on this forum?

This would be a great feature given the current infestation on here.

 

[Rise from the ashes]

Yes that would be great wouldn't have to see anything regarding your posts. Even though you post their isn't anything there anyway.

 

[BaconLover]

So much ''stock discussion''.

Literally attacking every poster who has something to say he does not like. Not cool.

[0018] FIGURE 6A is a block diagram illustrating an example architecture for query and search of a video, in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure.

A computer-implemented method for on-device video query and search using an artificial neural network (ANN) includes receiving by the ANN, a video and a search query. The video includes a sequence of frames and associated subtitle information. First representations for a first set of words in the search query and second representations for a second set of words in the subtitle information are generated, at the mobile device by the ANN. A correlation between the search query and the subtitle information is determined at the mobile device by the ANN based on the first representations and the second representations. The ANN, at the mobile device, predicts a portion of the video including content responsive to the search query based on the correlation.

[0067] The search query and the subtitle information for the video may be supplied to an on-device neural network 606. The on-device neural network 606 may be a transformer neural network, for example. A transformer neural network is a deep learning model that uses self-attention and provides context information for any position within an input sequence. In some aspects, the on-device neural network 606 may be an efficiently learning encoder that classifies token replacements accurately (ELECTRA) small model. Of course, this is merely an example and other architectures such as bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT), robustly optimized BERT approach (RoBERT a), XLNet, Transform er-XL, and the generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) family of transformers may also be employed. An ELECTRA small model is a question answering natural language processor (NLP). The ELECTRA small model may be pre-trained to predict an answer given a query and an input paragraph.


The patent shows signs of being hastily drafted.

Old song, though.

I have some knowledge about structures in Russia and ex-Soviet republics, my wife is Ukrainian and I lived several years in Ukraine and Russia. From my personal view this looks a bit like investing oligarch money. It doesn't has to be that way, but at least it smells a bit.

With a low SP in mind the next investor might have a big foot in the door of Brainchip, so I do care about it.
With the running NASA and DARPA projects, the partnerships with ISL and Intellisense in safety relevant industries, I would just prefer an US investor, that's all.
Of course this is pure speculation, but hey, the forum is full of it.

IMO it is a really simple answer. But maybe just because I've convinced myself of it.

1. Not many understood BRN, early days remember "What is a neuromorphic chip anyway?" Therefore it became a bit of a meme stock
2. It gained a bit of interest but still early days and ...."What is a neuromorphic chip anyway?". Then we sold a few licences
3. The Mercedes EQXX got a few excited, maybe even a few shorters got anxious and bought back, but overall momentum went crazy
4. We entered the asx 200 and suddenly a mountain of shares became available to be shorted. and so....they did.
5. 4c after 4c came and no revenue the shorts just had too many shares and the sell pressure became way too much.
6. What I think is happening now is the sorting through of all the shorted shares, we are seeing large volume but no big drop, shorters selling and buying into each other. The sellers that have sold are now buying more shorts sells. A team effort churning and soon the buying pressure will finally overtake the selling and we will see a rise as the shorts need to cover.
7. The only chance of the short squeeze is if we get Mercedes to buy a licence or someone as big. A well known household name, other than that, the shorts will have made a squillion.

That's what I believe, but I'm just a mug. But I do believe that BRN will get there, that is why I've still got my super shares. It was a 5 year hold, it's now a 4 year hold. they need to hurry up

Hi @TheFunkMachine

Mercedes are still making cars.

Renesas is still releasing some tech with us (soon?)

Great chance we’re in Valeo with $25B of pre-orders.

40+ known EAPS or Uni’s working with us who have been listed numerous times. They wouldn’t all be with us if we weren’t special.

Intel for example would have hated taking us onboard as we are direct competition for their Loihi and yet they have because we can offer what they can’t.

We are in MB future EV’s where both Nvidia and Qualcomm are also involved: what does that say? Again we are offering what they can’t.

Have another look at the Gen2 Pre-Release promotion and what SI-Five, Renesas have said!

Defence are all over us: they have deep pockets.

In the end if you have done your research back your judgement in and own your decision. I have and despite being deep in the red am very confident in the long term future because the potential is massive and we only need a small percent of the large market to be successful.

That’s my opinion but I’d better end with the disclaimer: I am not a financial adviser so do your own research.

All the best to the everyone, please be kind, have empathy and support each other.

I am hopeful the Gen 2 release will start the SP back in the right direction and we can celebrate the company‘s achievements and success.

One certainty is that the cloud will not cope with the expected exponential growth in AI at the Edge.
Another certainty is that AI at the Edge is via Neuromorphic - AKIDA on chip is far superior to AI at the Edge via the cloud eg NVIDIA.
Think Latency, cost, power and security.
Exponential growth in At the Edge will weigh heavily in favour of the Neuromorphic approach. eg EV's, or in future AKA chips on wheels, precision machinery, etc.
Our only risk is that we will be leap frogged. However it appears we still hold a first mover advantage.
The way i see it is if, say, NVIDIA came up with their own method of by passing the cloud one of the other big players would be forced to swoop on us for our patents to offer viable competition or even stay in business. It would be 'BRN name your price'.
I am in for the patents that allow us to avoid the costly journey to the cloud. Anything more will just be a bonus.
TBH i am not concerned at all about the SP as they (for any company) go up and down all the time.
Its just about waiting for demand to meet the product offering which BRN management have no control over. They can only control their readiness to meet the demand when it arrives. They are doing this with ecosystems, marketing and product development, EG Gen 2 with plans for gen 3 later this year.

World’s first on-device demonstration of Stable Diffusion on an Android phone​

Qualcomm AI Research deploys a popular 1B+ parameter foundation model on an edge device through full-stack AI optimization
FEB 24, 2023


https://www.qualcomm.com/news/onq/2...-demonstration-of-stable-diffusion-on-android
...
To shrink the model from FP32 to INT8, we used the AI Model Efficiency Toolkit’s (AIMET) post-training quantization, a tool developed from techniques created by Qualcomm AI Research and now incorporated into the newly announced Qualcomm AI Studio. Quantization not only increases performance but also saves power by allowing the model to efficiently run on our dedicated AI hardware and to consume less memory bandwidth. Our state-of-the-art AIMET quantization techniques, such as Adaptive Rounding (AdaRound), were able to maintain model accuracy at this lower precision without the need for re-training. The techniques were applied across all the component models in Stable Diffusion, namely the transformer-based text encoder, the VAE decoder, and the UNet. This was critical for the model to fit on the device.

For compilation, we used the Qualcomm AI Engine direct framework to map the neural network into a program that efficiently runs on our target hardware. The Qualcomm AI Engine direct framework sequences the operations to improve performance and minimize memory spillage based on the hardware architecture and memory hierarchy of the Qualcomm Hexagon Processor. Some of these enhancements resulted from AI optimization researchers working together with compiler engineering teams to improve memory management in AI inference. The overall optimizations made in the Qualcomm AI Engine have significantly reduced runtime latency and power consumption, and this much needed trend continues within Stable Diffusion.

Our industry-leading edge AI performance on the Qualcomm AI Engine with the Hexagon Processor is unleashed through tight hardware and software co-design. The latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 with micro tile inferencing helps enable large models like Stable Diffusion to run efficiently — expect more improvements with the next-gen Snapdragon. Additionally, the enhancements made for transformer models, like MobileBERT, to dramatically speed up inference play a key role here as multi-head attention is used throughout the component models in Stable Diffusion.

The result of this full-stack optimization is running Stable Diffusion on a smartphone under 15 seconds for 20 inference steps to generate a 512x512 pixel image — this is the fastest inference on a smartphone and comparable to cloud latency. User text input is completely unconstrained.



"... a program that runs efficiently on our target hardware ..."!!!!

Hi Funkmachine, I really feel for you. I don’t believe the free fall in our share price has anything to do with our fundamentals. I firmly believe we are better placed than ever. I do, however, think that the combination of being a pre-revenue tech startup, broader macroeconomic factors like interest rates in the US (stocks have been in free fall everywhere), plus a bit of opportunistic mischief-making by shorters/instos because we are pre-revenue, has resulted in our current share price. I simply do not believe that all of the announced partnerships (plus more than a few hidden relationships surmised here) will come to nothing. It is happening - we just have to be patient (and have nerves of steel!!)

Hi Tfm,

I don't know how many short shares are outstanding, or how much ammunition the shorters have, but I guess the shorters are a lot more savvy than we are. They would have known BRN was to be dropped from ASX 200 and loaded up. I don't think I'm saying anything that we all didn't know, but the sell off by the instos with ASX 200 obligations compounded by downward pressure from the shorters/manipulators, has driven us well into the oversold region. I certainly never thought we could drop below $1.

But none of this has anything to do with the technical capabilities or market potential of Akida which, with Akida 2, has given us half a decade's lead on any competition. In particular TeNNs has really excited the NDAs/EAPs. Everyone (well the few who are capable) is(are) doing ViT, but no one is doing TeNNs, except BRN.

As we've just seem Qualcomm is trumpeting its Hexagon software driven AI quasi-edge GPT. Basically Qualcomm think NNs are software to run on CPUs /GPUs.

Recall the EAP comments on Akida 2 (I can't bloody find it now! Maybe it's been hidden so as not to distract from the launch).

https://brainchip.com/akida-generations/ - general availability Q3 2023, so, if it's not this week, the announcement is imminent.

Akida 1 was miles ahead of the competition. Akida 2 doubles the lead. A lot of EAPs had Akida 1 at various stages of testing. They wouldn't have continued testing if it was a dud. But then they put Akida 1 on the back burner when they heard about (or tested the software simulation of) Akida 2.

The rapidly evolving technology, and the consequent changes necessitated thereby has delayed BRN's success, as did the change to IP only. VVDN will belatedly partially rectify the IP delay. The bypassing of LSTM and the surpassing of transformers by TeNNs (patent pending) has assured Akida's technological leadership. BRN's leading edge technology and its agility in adapting to massive change in the last 5 years, as well as peer recognition will go a long way to assuring success.

Of course there are no certainties, but we are in prime position to ride the wave(s) of the coincidence of ADAS, lidar, event cameras, medical applications, AI generally, ... the list is endless.

Of course this is pure speculation, but hey, the forum is full of it.

Maybe you worry too much, I don't know. I assume anyway that large parts of the company are already in hands where we don't want to see them, hidden behind nominees or such shit.
So whether it's oligarch money or Chinese money doesn't make much difference to me.
There is a reason why Brainchip is valued so cheaply. I mean the anode maker Talga with pending validity of the major approval and then endless battles ahead is worth a full 26% more than Brainchip with 42 partnerships and all the patents in a now starting world market. I assume something hostile is going on here anyway. Maybe you have the right nose and it is not Nvidia or the Chinese but the oligarchs who want to buy in cheaply.
Moreover, Maxim Group is here only interested in companies listed in the USA (NYSE, NASDAQ). The exception is us as an OTC (https://b2idigital.com/maxim-virtual-conference-emerging-ai).
So first the acquisition has to be completed, then Freedom Holding would have to buy properly, then your fear that it is oligarch money would have to be true, then the market regulator would have to be called in, who has already checked the deal with Freedom Holding and Maxim Group (Russian money is ringing red with warning bells right now).
But all speculation is there for speculation. But that's probably a topic better for the bar counter.

As we've just seem Qualcomm is trumpeting its Hexagon software driven AI quasi-edge GPT. Basically Qualcomm think NNs are software to run on CPUs /GPUs.

Recall the EAP comments on Akida 2 (I can't bloody find it now! Maybe it's been hidden so as not to distract from the launch).

https://brainchip.com/akida-generations/ - general availability Q3 2023, so, if it's not this week, the announcement is imminent.

Akida 1 was miles ahead of the competition. Akida 2 doubles the lead. A lot of EAPs had Akida 1 at various stages of testing. They wouldn't have continued testing if it was a dud. But then they put Akida 1 on the back burner when they heard about (or tested the software simulation) of Akida 2.

The rapidly evolving technology, and the consequent changes necessitated thereby has delayed BRN's success, as did the change to IP only. VVDN will belatedly partially rectify the IP delay. The bypassing of LSTM and the surpassing of transformers by TeNNs (patent pending) has assured Akida's technological leadership. BRN's leading edge technology and its agility in adapting to massive change in the last 5 years, as well as peer recognition will go a long way to assuring success.

Of course there are no certainties, but we are in prime position to ride the wave(s) of the coincidence of ADAS, lidar, event cameras, medical applications, AI generally, ... the list is endless.

That reads much more sensible than what I wrote!
If all of this is true as you plausibly explained, I still simply cannot understand how a company in this position you describe is not even worth €195m. That's why I suspect that someone is attacking us hostilely for whatever reason.

I would be happy if Akida doesn't end up in Nvidias drawer or somewhere in China (or Russia.), even if that means it will be a very long climb back to a reasonable level. Down 37% in a week means we have to go up 58% just to get back to the same level.
I think a hostile process could also be a reason for the board's reserved behavior. I also think that no one manipulates to this extent without having a serious reason other than just to make some money. To me it seems more like hurting an animal and then throwing it strickend to the piranhas/shorters to let them do the work and occasionally prick to keep interest in shorting high and best when there are some good news. It was with Brainchip that I first got to know that good news is tied to a falling SP, which of course is not the company's fault but the aggressor's, from my point of view.
After all that would be expensive and someone with interest and interesting pockets would have to pay that bill.

The sales team can't speed up the development process of possible customers. That's why I think it's unfair when people here complain endlessly that the sales team should simply work better. In my opinion this would be only the smaller part of the reason for the low SP. How much sales is enough to chase away the shorters? I find it hard to believe that all we have to do is to make some millions and the beating will end.
You all remember the first attack. Here, after currency conversion, the shares were extremely cheap compared to you, basically on offer. The reason why I remember that evening so well, even though the two events are probably unrelated. Then tens of millions of shares changed to the ASX and were dumped into your market the next day. The first attack I remember. And the attack came out of nowhere for me and it hasn't ended to this day.

There are very experienced investors among us here. Am I assuming absolute nonsense and the market capitalization is just so abysmal because of general circumstances?

I think I'd better retreat now before I infect anyone else with my thoughts.

Do not know what the exact rules are on the ASX but there is sure to be a period of time (quiet period or restricted period) where insiders cannot buy or sell before and after the AKIDA 2.0 and 4C announcements.

To reverse this Titanic, insiders buying in significant quantity should do the trick.... say $50k (or more) for top tier types and lesser amounts for some engineers and the like.

THIS IS THE SURE FIRE WAY TO SEND THE MESSAGE TO THE MARKETS....putting your money where your mouth is...walk the walk.

Come on guys and gals...we have something special here.....RIGHT?

SO PILE ON WITH IMPUNITY.
