BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Kachoo]

Reads like a promise to me . (Note to me: Buy more BRN stocks tomorrow)

No promises in life but death and taxes Chips lol. But

Does sound positive !

No promises in life but death and taxes Chips lol. But

Does sound positive !

Oh, if your wife promises to kick you out of the house if you lose all the money betting on BrainChip you better take her seriously!

 

[Iseki]

The insecurities and desperation is literally coming out of our screens.

When the bar was already lower that could possibly be imagined, it just keeps going lower. I hope you are ok and you are not counting your money more than 10 times a day.

It's ok to get help.

SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son set for ‘next big move’: report​

Photo credit: Shutterstock

SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son appears to be ready for his next big moves, Bloomberg reported, signaling a potential rebound for the firm following recent setbacks.

“We need to look for our next big move, without fear of whether it’ll be a hit or miss,” Son reportedly told SoftBank shareholders at an annual meeting. “SoftBank Group’s dynamism arises from looking for new seeds of evolution, especially abroad.”

SoftBank has made AI a bigger focus of late. Son said that the company is aiming to boost its renewable energy ventures to power its AI initiatives, especially in the US.

Previously, it was reportedly exploring the acquisition of British semiconductor startup Graphcore Ltd, while considering raising US$100 billion for an AI chip venture that could rival US-based Nvidia.

Despite a recent string of unsuccessful startup investments, SoftBank appears to be on the path to recovery. The firm had a profitable second quarter, and as of March, it held US$39.2 billion in cash reserves.

A big part of its plans is SoftBank-owned chip designer Arm Holdings, which recorded US$2.1 billion in net sales for the nine months ending December 2023. The UK-based firm is expected to launch its first AI chips in 2025.

Earlier this year, SoftBank was reportedly eyeing [US$150 million worth of investments](https://www.techinasia.com/softbank-eyes-on-indias-ai-goldmine) in Indian data centers and industrial robotics as part of its wider bet on AI-related infrastructure.

Masa Son has a proven track record of throwing money at start-ups and seeing how he goes.
He will invest in a company just by his 'feeling' like he did with Jack Ma and Alibaba in its early days, his investment that made him and Softbank where they are today.
Brainchip have to probably be proactive with him, and if he is impressed, a capital raise would never be required I imagine.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. There would be an NDA and it is possible that Meta insisted on secrecy about the collaboration.

I did not assume Meta was an EAP. I thought there was a reasonable inference to be made based on the available evidence.

If you didn’t assume Meta was an EAP, how did you think Meta engineers would have found out about the intricacies of TENNs around the same time EAP customers did? Customers that had explicitly paid for the privilege to get early access? That doesn’t make sense to me.

By the way, although Akida Gen 2 had been announced in March 2023 and the white paper on TENNs had been published in June, it appears that even for EAP customers, actual availability of the second generation of the Akida IP solution (which included TENNs) didn’t eventuate until October 2023, which happens to coincide with when Chris Jones had just started his new job at BrainChip.

I have trouble understanding your 6 week window. It seems to be unsupported conjecture (…)

Your contention is that this means "on an almost daily basis (in the last 6 weeks) of my time at Meta, I would see new NNs."

No, that is not what I meant. He obviously would have seen new NNs on an almost daily basis throughout his eleven months at Meta, not only in his last six weeks.

But if he had become “pretty excited” about TENNs while still working for Meta, would he even have bothered to spend his time on getting to know other neural networks or would he rather have focused all his energy and time on familiarising himself with TENNs and liasing with the software engineers at BrainChip?

If he had become “pretty excited” about TENNs sometime in 2023 already, would he really have said in late May 2024:

“So, about a year ago, uh, I was at Meta, I was in their AI Infrastructure Group, and on an almost daily basis I would see new neural network architectures.”

To me, it would only make sense if he had found out about TENNs roughly a year ago or later, and that brings me back to my six-week window: We can basically exclude he would have learnt about TENNs at his former workplace while already on gardening leave from Meta, agreed? So no later than mid-April then. And I doubt he would have referred to January or February 2023 as “about a year ago”.

But @Iseki does have a good point here: Why would Meta have laid off one of their software engineers who by then would have already acquired in-depth knowledge of a disruptive and top-secret neural network that was going to give them a head start over competitors? There weren’t exactly dozens of global ML/AI experts around who were familiar with TENNs at the time.

Oh, and in case anyone pictured Chris Jones developing novel algorithms in Meta’s VR headset and smartglasses division or similar, that’s not what he actually did at Meta:

Another thing to ponder: If Meta was indeed behind an NDA, wouldn’t the reveal by Chris Jones that he had learned about TENNs while at Meta constitute a breach of confidentiality? Correct me if I am wrong, but ex-employees cannot share trade secrets and confidential information without risking serious legal trouble, and Chris Jones could now be be taken to court for disclosing an NDA between Meta and BrainChip that the rest of the world wasn’t supposed to find out about…

Does that sound like someone on gardening leave, or someone with the weary or arrogant disdain of the "not-invented-here" attitude nurtured in a mega-corporation.

Chris jones was introduced to Brainchip, and they told him about TeNNs. So was the Akida marketing group going around talking to random gardeners in the off-chance they wished to lay out a lazy $5M for a licence?

No, of course not - what an absurd suggestion. Why did you have to turn this into ridicule?

As stated in my previous post, I’d venture a guess that he was introduced to BrainChip while job-hunting, so it was more likely him approaching BrainChip, not the other way round. If BrainChip staff had come to Menlo Park (Meta HQs) or Los Angeles (where CJ was based at the time) to instruct a group of Meta ML/AI engineers on TENNs (provided they were an EAP customer at the time, that is), why would Chris Jones say “they told me about TENNs” instead of “they told us about TENNs” - in the context of a job interview after June 9, 2023 (publication of the TENNs white paper) the use of the singular makes total sense, though.

So this is what I imagine happened: Either somebody in his professional or private network or a recruiter recommended BrainChip to him (a lot of people reached out to him in the comments after he had posted about having been laid off), and although he was sceptical at first (with exactly the mindset you are describing), he did give it a try, either out of curiosity (as someone he trusted had warmly recommended them to him) or because he hadn’t yet been successful in securing another job he deemed suitable. I presume that after having worked for Meta, he would have initially considered any remote or on-site positions other than with another Silicon Valley tech giant a painful career decline.

When you look at his mid-2023 LinkedIn posts/comments/reactions, quite a few of them revolve around tedious and nerve-racking experiences with Workday (a platform that allows companies to streamline their recruiting processes), and he also lists several certifications of online courses that he completed during those months post layoff and prior to starting at BrainChip. Does that sound like someone who was excited to have been “outplaced” from Meta to a disruptive technology company they had an NDA with and hence did not have to worry at all about who would be signing his paychecks from August 2023 onwards, or does it rather sound like someone on gardening leave forced to look for a new job, after losing the one he had been so proud of securing less than a year earlier?

It's about Attention and LSTM. You need to take the whole context into consideration.

I did, but I see a different context: He referred to his time at Meta during his introductory words on TENNs after he had given a brief overview of BrainChip for those unfamiliar with the company.

I believe that when Chris Jones gave his presentation at the 2024 Embedded Vision Summit, he wanted to convey to his audience that he had seen something truly extraordinary in TENNs. And what better way than to emphasise this uniqueness by casually mentioning that he used to work for Meta and had encountered new neural networks there on a regular basis, hence evoking credibility with his audience. Understandably, he did not mention the mass layoff at Meta that had subsequently affected him, even though an unfortunate job loss is of course nothing to be ashamed of.

After having been introduced to BrainChip at a later stage in the context of a job interview, our company surprised him positively, contrary to what he had expected, and the message he wanted to convey to his listeners was: Don’t underestimate us (like I did initially, coming from a mega-corporation) just because we are a small team and not a household name. We can easily compete with the big guys, as we have something unique to offer.

The more we discuss this, the more I am inclined towards the possibility of Meta being an EAP.

Funny you should say that, as the more we discuss this, I am more and more convinced of the opposite. I could be wrong of course, but so could you.

Yeah, but apart from Ford (which was never actually announced as an EAP, but safe to assume) which was not a good situation for the Company to have been put in and a major reason, why the Company now keeps its lips tightly zipped, the EAPs announced, have either been obscure, or relative small fry.

NASA is a huge name, but not really a business.

The Ford announcement in May 2020 preceded that of the introduction of the Early Access Program in June 2020, but yes, technically speaking, I’d consider Ford an EAP customer as well.

Mercedes can also be safely assumed, but not announced as an EAP (or I'm sure you would have dug it up).

Correct, there was never any ASX announcement about MB joining the EAP. However, Sean Hehir himself referred to them as an EAP customer on a slide in a September 2023 online investor presentation - as a Marquee EAP customer, to be precise, alongside Valeo, Vorago and NASA:

(from 27:33 min)

"Not all of BrainChip’s EAP customers have been disclosed to date"

Your statement infers, that most have, which would indicate you think we only have a handful..
I really don't think and hope that's not the case..

Well, if we are to believe Chris Jones - and unless this is yet another typo on his presentation slide - BrainChip currently has 10 customers (EAP, proof of concept and IP license) that have either licensed Akida IP (Renesas, Megachips) or once paid an undisclosed sum of money for the privilege of getting early access to our technology:

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that customer list should therefore read:

1. Renesas
2. Megachips
3. Ford
4. Mercedes
5. Vorago
6. NASA
7. Valeo
8. ISL
9. ???
10. ???

Which leaves us with only two mystery customers that fall into the category of either being an EAP customer or have used Akida technology to develop a proof of concept, as we would have found out about any additional IP licensees via price-sensitive ASX announcements.

Mercedes-Benz seems to match two categories at once, namely EAP customer AND “proof of concept” (EQXX) - I am a little confused as to why that distinction is being made, though.

It goes without saying those 10 customers are not indicative of the number of present engagements, NDAs and partnerships we have.

But Chris Jones learning details about TENNs before being laid-off at Meta could realistically only have happened if Meta was one of the two undisclosed EAP customers during Northern Hemisphere winter 2022/23 or early spring 2023.
However, in my eyes, it is much likelier that he was introduced to BrainChip and TENNs post-layoff, and I believe I have provided sufficient arguments to substantiate my point of view…

 

[Frangipani]

2 hours and 14 minutes to long to watch with the Euros on.

As for the typos Austrialian and BRD on that presentation slide:
Maybe, just maybe Chris Jones happens to be an avid ️ fan, and while preparing that presentation in May, he was possibly distracted, fantasising about his favourite pairing for the EURO 2024 finals?

Which surprisingly seemed to be vs Germany (BRD stands for Bundesrepublik Deutschland = Federal Republic of Germany)?

Relax, Rocket - maybe he got the colours right, but simply confused the flags ! I agree that for most viewers, those two teams vying for the Euro Cup would be a way more exciting pairing… ️
Although totally different combinations would be just as enticing!

Haven’t checked, though, whether theoretically any of those final pairings above could even come to pass or whether the respective teams would possibly already knock each other out in the upcoming elimination rounds…

Anyway, may the overall best team win, whatever colours their flag has!
(Though I have to admit I am a little bit biased… )

It certainly seems, that the EAPs are indeed more of a handful, as I was thinking more along the lines, of at least a couple of dozen.

Having the EAPs, under the same "10 customer" banner (according to the slide) as POC and IP licencees, muddys the water further..

We know, there were at least 2 licences (from revenue) taken out, by customers of MegaChips and these are not considered "our" customers.

I don't personally think Renesas, is considered an EAP, but I do MegaChips.

Our current relationship with Ford is unknown, apparently there is no longer any reference to them anywhere, in BRN material.
Are they "still" considered a customer, or EAP?

What are the "Rules of Engagement" here, as far as what the Company reports to us, of what they consider customers, or EAPs?

The emphasis on NDAs is strong with this one..
Any major engagements (after the c' up with Ford) are likely to be kept tightly under wraps (which would make the comment by Chris, if as alluded, a similar one).


There's a saying I really like, which originates in Taoism.

Good morning,

Sean has stated that, to date we haven't lost any engagements with clients or to any other competitors.

Is he referring to since he came onboard, or since we first started engaging under Lou's command ?

I have mentioned this before, I have been told that Mercedes are a "client"....file that under any category you feel appropriate,
we all know that one company did pull back from the brink of signing an agreement for reasons only really known by their own
Board, so that doesn't count as a lost engagement or stolen by another companies technology I'd think, because as Tony has also
stated, some early engagement (potential customers) who felt that the timing wasn't quite right from them at the time, have
surprised the company with recent "re-engagements".

"Once a customer (potential) or otherwise, always a customer"

I can't speak for others here, but I'm still very proud to say that I own Brainchip stock and always share our story with anybody
interested in the future direction our company is heading in....to the top of the peak.

Very reassuring words, but to say you are proud of the company is utter bullsh*t.
Yes the the future potential is great , but there is nothing to brag about at the moment.

Explosion of sales = Fail
Watch the financials = Fail
Sean has promised a lot in the past and continue to do the same again and again. Shareholders kept in the dark with nothing but fluffy bullsh*t.
Rinse and repeat until the next AGM.

Glad I sold a few weeks ago. Saved me another 30% decline.
Before this post gets reported and moderated by the same people, just letting you know that I still have a huge believe that the company has great potential, so I might jump back in around 15c or even 10c.

Not advice. DYOR!

What are the "Rules of Engagement" here, as far as what the Company reports to us, of what they consider customers, or EAPs?

The emphasis on NDAs is strong with this one..
Any major engagements (after the c' up with Ford) are likely to be kept tightly under wraps (which would make the comment by Chris, if as alluded, a similar one).


There's a saying I really like, which originates in Taoism.

"You cannot clear muddied water with your hand. — Who is there that can make muddy water clear? But if allowed to remain still, it will become clear of itself"

And so we wait...

The list can include
Edge impulse
Ant 61
Nviso
Etc

The list can include
Edge impulse

I think they will more likely7 be NDA's not EAP's

"Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that customer list should therefore read:

1. Renesas
2. Megachips
3. Ford
4. Mercedes
5. Vorago
6. NASA
7. Valeo
8. ISL
9. ???
10. ???"

The customer list for us needs to be a list of companies capable of licensing from us, so will need to on-sell 2 million chips with akida. So that narrows it down a bit. I believe there are 8 of them since there were 8 chip designs that BRN worked on for potential clients.

I would love it to be a communications company and a household products company.
