22M+ changed hands tho' JoMo. Probably Larry and Pom goin' hell for leather; they've been quiet.
Thank you very much for your response!!I don't see why not—unless Qualcomm is already working on a new iteration of Snapdragon that incorporates features similar to AKIDA. How feasible that is, I'm not entirely sure.
As far as I know, the current Snapdragon product isn't neuromorphic, isn't event-based, doesn't operate at ultra-low power, and doesn’t support real-time on-device learning.
Judd Heape, VP of Product Management for Camera, Computer Vision, and Video at Qualcomm Technologies, was quoted in a June 2023 EE Times article saying, “These event-based sensors are much more efficient because they can be programmed to easily detect motion at very low power. When there’s no movement or change in the scene, the sensor consumes almost no power. So that’s really interesting to us.”
In that context, he was referring to Prophesee and image-based sensors, but the underlying principle still applies I would have thought—event-based sensors just make sense. And AKIDA is event-based.
We also know that a drone company is exploring a combination of AKIDA and Prophesee’s camera. Not Snapdragon. That says something.
So why wouldn’t Qualcomm want to integrate our technology to gain a foothold in new markets—especially ones that are battery-powered and highly power-constrained? Surely paying for a licence would be chicken feed for the likes of Qualcomm, so I honestly don't know why they wouldn't be considering it.
Maybe someone with deeper technical insight can weigh in here.

Manny100 some good new I feel after emailing Tony to ask if he could find out what brainchip thoughts were in this latest Qualcomm stopping Brainchip and the response is as followsIf Qualcomm want a piece of Neuromorphic at the Edge they will look to us.
The great thing about BRN from a client point of view is they can use 1000 knowing that they can move up fairly seamlessly to Gen2/TENNs as they improve existing or develop new products..
In the meantime just like us maybe Qualcomm are waiting until Edge AI demand picks up significantly before getting serious.
Thanks, much appreciated, cheersManny100 some good new I feel after emailing Tony to ask if he could find out what brainchip thoughts were in this latest Qualcomm stopping Brainchip and the response is as follows
I referred your email to our CTO Dr Tony Lewis. He replied to me that this was a temporary situation as Qualcomm had to review all contracts and commercial arrangements. He said he was not concerned
Or a hostile takeover. At 18c would be a steal. Hope not.Not sure it has been confirmed it Qualcomms doing. It was suggested as a possible reason I thought?
I find it hard to believe that they could actually do that as could be potentially seen as anticompetitive I would have thought and the exisiting Akida models are still allowed to be used, just not new Dev at the mo.
My questions is whether maybe an update to the models or additional capabilities to include 2.0 availability to play with or integration in some way to engage the Qualcomm foundries.io and other toolchains they now offer?
None of the other products like NVIDIA etc through EI appear affected at this point.
Gee a lot of stockbrokers much watch the left leaning media DB.......they are the ones who are selling........wonder why they are selling??? Can't be your mate Donald's fault could it?? FFS give it a rest mate. I will stop from replying to your cult-like Trumpism on this main thread if you agree to do the same. I am sure everyone else will be happy if we do it privately like we have been over the last day or two....as per your initial private message to me.View attachment 81666
Extreme Fear, is still driving the markets (actually the lowest reading I've "noticed" these past couple of days).
Looks like US markets will take another hit and Left leaning media are stoking the fire, as it makes Trump look bad and they Love that.
I think our share price is holding up pretty well, while down.
We may see the US markets start to get better towards the mid or end of their session, while there is Fear though, the markets are simply not rational.
Do people want the US, or China to be the Strongest Economy and calling the shots in the World?
China, would Love to be the World's "cop" (free Mandarin lessons included) and that's the direction things were headed.
We as a Company, have a very strong relationship with the US and recent military developmental progress, has shown this.
The US, although virtually saying they are 'taking a break" from being everybody's big Brother (not in the "1984" sense) in fact need to build themselves up again, in order to do that.
Just my thoughts.
Good Fortune to All![]()
Easy done Larry, I thought it was relevant as it's what's driving the marketsGee a lot of stockbrokers much watch the left leaning media DB.......they are the ones who are selling........wonder why they are selling???

Interesting.
And the camera appears to be the Prophesee camera propped on top of the box.

2.34 was the past and .175 is the present. Even 2.34 was a plan of shorters to pump and dump. Regarding market yes market wants to see revenue and no talks. On top we are on continuous sale for almost 2 years, why the market should pay us if we cannot improve ourselves?I'd like to say we are......

Even Alf finds this post inciteful
On another note, I wonder if MB post again and say they "... in collaboration..." with BRN to integrate AKIDA into future gen cars, would our SP spike back up to $2.34, or something similar?
I guess, I'm pissed off like others here, just trying to understand why the dozen or so other announcements since the MB "media release" haven't done anything other than drop the SP. I also wonder if the tactic is to get the SP as low as possible prior to the redomicile so that US investors can buy in big and cheaply?
