AKIDA EDGE BOX NOW SHOWING AS "SOLD OUT"

Can anyone who purchased one let us in on any clues as to how many were sold?
i.e. sales docket number or serial number on the one you purchased?

We talked about this topic already it’s almost impossible

Yes and now it is up to VVDN to possibly purchase a licence so that they can produce more and sell them directly via their distributors?

AKIDA EDGE BOX NOW SHOWING AS "SOLD OUT"

Interestingly, the PCIe board at $499 has not sold out.

The PCIe board has a single Akida 1 chip and plugs in internally to a PC to work with the PC's processor.

The Edge AI Box has 2 Akida 1 chips and an NXP quad core processor as well as 36 GB memory, so it is a stand-alone device. It does have communication ports so it can be set-up and configured, and transfer outputs to a screen or networked computer.

You would expect that a large commercial enterprise would want more than one Edge Ai Box.

If we've sold 1000, that would be $Au 1M + which would brighten up the next quarterly, unless it gets lost in the noise of a deal or two.

Could be an interesting event to look out for:

Apple Needs to Evolve to Compete in the Artificial Intelligence Era

Apple was caught flat-footed in the generative AI race, and the company will need to change its strategy if it wants to catch up. Also: The misguided attempt to differentiate the iPad from the Mac; get ready for a new AirTag; and Apple banks on Asia to make the Vision Pro a success.

www.bloomberg.com

"WWDC 2024 — June 10-14: Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference is set to kick off on Monday, June 10.

Apple used WWDC 2023 to unveil the Vision Pro, but the stakes are even higher this year. The 2024 event is expected to showcase its renewed AI strategy."

Let's hope it gets well and truly lost!

How come VVDN doesn't have any AKIDA Edge Boxes for sale on it's website? I can only find this link to NVIDIA's Edge Box.

I think they only made enough for us to 'test' the market.

Hi David,



Thank you for your email.



I'm sorry but that information has not been made available to me. The number of edge boxes that could be sold is limited by the number of AKD1000 chips we have available, and we have never publicly disclosed the number of chips we made.



At present, we are taking pre-sale orders only. This will give us a strong indication of the likely demand for the Edge Box and our chips.



Needless to say our hope is that demand for the Edge Box exceeds the supply of available chips and requires VVDN to place an order for another run of chips to be produced.



Regards

Doubt very much we are getting so much.

Maybe 100-200$ per box tops, I am guessing.

 

[Kachoo]

I don't know but being sold out in business is a good thing?

 

[Gingerbreadfriend]

As far as I can recall from Sean's comments on the edge box, the Brainchip storefront for the edge box is for low volume orders <10 orders, all orders above 10 units are to be referred directly to VVDN.
It could just mean Brainchip has sold through their presumably smaller inventory (if they stocked it) but could definitely on the other hand indicate VVDN has sold through the entirety of theirs, which means either more existing Akida 1s sold to them/more Akida 1s produced for Brainchip for VVDN/ or better yet a license for VVDN to have them produced directly on their behalf.

Hi David,

Thanks for posting Tony's response. I must admit I'm very confused. How can BrainChip get an accurate gauge on pre-sale orders if our website says "out of stock" and if VVDN aren't taking any orders through their website?

I can see our website instructs to contact sales@ brainchip.com if you want more than 10 edge boxes, but it also says directly above that, that we've sold out of them. So why would anyone bother contacting sales for a sold out item? Maybe I'm just over-thinking things as per usual.

 

[Dr E Brown]

The Edge Box is minutiae. Knowing we’ve sold 100 or 1000 isn’t the move we are looking at. Sean’s comment that sales are exactly on track is fine with me. What I am waiting for is the near future closing of deals mentioned by Sean in the Stocks Down Under video. How near is near, how near is relatively near future! When these are signed and announced then we won’t be worrying about a few Edge boxes. The wording will also be interesting as I’m pretty sure they won’t be able to put an exact value on the deal, but perhaps a market indicative value.
Ok I’m going back into the lab until the deals are announced.

Yet another example of BRN management's inability to communicate clearly??

Only 1000 trillion that’s more than the worlds yearly GDP

Yeah it's obviously a bit of an exaggeration and my mind can't actually "grasp" numbers that big..

But Elon, does think there is no upper limit to the Market.

 

[MrRomper]

This is a Brainchip Patent filed on USPTO on 21/5. Not sure if it has been posted previously.

One Quadrillion is how they should have expressed it , though rarely do numbers get so large .


1,000,000,000,000,000


Only time iv ever heard of a quadrillion being used was when i looked at ...... SWIFT.

From memory they facilitate the movement of about $1.25 quadrillion annually.

To be honest if BrainChip got a contract with this mob we would probably all be set.

Nice find!

I would put money on it that Accenture is our next IP signing. I just don't have any money to play with. It's all on Brainchip.

AKIDA EDGE BOX NOW SHOWING AS "SOLD OUT"

Tech@
Not being negative about the sold out
But if we had numbers to compare how many were on sale at the beginning and what they expected to sell and possibly the volume they expected could be something to gauge against.

They might have only had 100 or 1000 or 5000 who knows
