Today was another fun day! Even though there's nothing to report directly related to BrainChip, and no significant announcement came, it was amusing. People, don't take it too much to heart to look for something and don't always take everything personally for something you can't change. And there's nothing left but to trust that the BrainChip team is doing everything right. We should have fun here and look forward to what (hopefully) lies ahead. Those are juicy profits! The next steps will show.

Are you really talking about Rob Telson? (I have not read the following pages yet)
He is still on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-telson-8153a51/

Here we go, I came across this:
"About Rob Telson
Rob Telson is a Sales and Channel Leadership. GTM and Business Development. Global and Regional Experience at Wavious based in San Diego, California.
Previously, Rob was a Vice President, Ecosystem & Partnerships at BrainChip."
Not sure how valid this source is, but sad to see him leave Brainchip if this is the case
The LinkedIn profile is still there and says "today"!!

Maybe Rob did not like the slow going with the CEO of Brainchip mr hairline
No scope to do deals, held on a short leash. Or Rob just wanted to go do something with a new company to get more motivation and I am certain that he has left with plenty of shares in his pocket.
I say good on him
Wish him all the best in the future
Hope that Brainchip will strive forward and do good for it’s shareholders and board of directors

According to Rob Telson’s LinkedIn profile, he does have ties to Wavious, though - he used to be a strategic advisor to them for more than five years, while working for Synopsis, Cylynt and BrainChip.

Will the real BBQ Rob please stand up
A couple of years back Sean Hehir made a dsmissive statement that Akida 1000 should be seen as an early reference chip and the focus was going be on the later, more developed versions.
Since then Akida 1000, in chip form, has made it into Edge boxes, gone into space and looks like being our major income stream, It also goes out to universities, as chips alone or on sample boards. Good that we made a few chips up front.
Version 1500, taped out a while back, for 22nm, seems to have sunk without trace.
Version 2000 will not be made as a chip, probably because it is very expensive to make, perhaps beyond Brainchip’s resources. So we wait for potential users to be so attracted by its capability that they will fund the manufacture of their own chips, with our IP. And we wait and wait. Meanwhile the peloton closes in.
Not sure this all adds up to a convincing corporate strategy. There is a good case for physical chips to be available for early investigators and researchers, particularly if universities are seen as important cradles of understanding the full possibilities of AKIDA.

someone had asked me this question earlier today... the same answer again.. i was thinking about beef ribs for dinner... hence rob became a rib
I usually post interesting (but also ridiculous) stuff from TSE in the German forum. This time however, the user “perhaps” who also is sometimes here active, postet today something interesting, I will share.
“I've taken a closer look at MYWAI because I see a lot of potential there. The MYWAI projects use a novel neuromorphic memristor technology (computing processes executed in memory) from General Vision.
If everything works as they claim, they have made a breakthrough in one of the biggest problems in neuromorphic computing. When the task changes, an automatic adjustment of the required neurons is necessary; otherwise, there will be increased inaccuracies. So far, there has been no solution to this problem. Akida is also affected by this issue. With General Vision's approach, it is theoretically possible to control the neurons of the Akida processor via the memristor, unlocking the full potential of Akida. Therefore, the progress of the MYWAI projects deserves increased attention, as this could be where the big breakthrough happens.

As others have remarked earlier, Wavious seems to be out of business and their website is no longer accessible.
Apparently, their former CEO Benny Malek recently joined the Board of Endura Technologies:
Intriguingly, quite a number of previous Wavious employees (all with a Qualcomm background before joining Wavious, by the way, just like former CEO Benny Malek and former CTO Hanan Cohen) have since ended up at Apple - more than a coincidence? A quick Google search didn’t come up with any evidence of a takeover/acquisition of Wavious by the Cupertino-headquartered tech giant, though.
Not sure I understand the relevance of a problem with an analog neuron and Akida's digital architecture.
So far, the lack of an interface to implement the technology and make it mass-market compatible is the problem. That's why we are constantly hovering in the field of "testing" and quasi-successful integration of Akida into studies and prototypes, etc. It's about mass marketability.
Never seen someone self describe as a polymath.
High bar but as the saying goes....if you got it, flaunt it.
Better be right though.

Good work Frangipani.
Here is an interesting website, which has some interesting connections:
Advancing semiconductor tech, transistor to connectivity
Semiconductor technologies are building blocks of modern tech. We enable advancements from transistor to connectivity via unique portfolio companies & platforms
Bridgewest Group are very much involved with Endura Technologies as well as a couple of very interesting mentions with Wavious.
"Wavious offers a mix and match, plug and play chiplet platform that spurs innovation, accelerates time to market and reduces cost."
"2022
Semiconductor
Chiplet solutions company Wavious is acquired by a Fortune 5 company."
Couldn't find anything about this Fortune 5 company though.
