I was watching on youtube about - Nvidia packs big AI power into a small, affordable package with the Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit, priced at just $249. - surely impressive
So i decided to ask chat GPT…
How is jetson nano compare to akida chips?
Answer:
The Jetson Nano and Akida chips are both designed for AI processing at the edge, but they differ significantly in architecture, use cases, and performance profiles:
1.
Architecture & Design Philosophy
Performance & Power
3.
Software Ecosystem
Use Case Fit
So i decided to ask chat GPT…
How is jetson nano compare to akida chips?
Answer:
The Jetson Nano and Akida chips are both designed for AI processing at the edge, but they differ significantly in architecture, use cases, and performance profiles:
1.
Architecture & Design Philosophy
- Jetson Nano (by NVIDIA):
- GPU-centric architecture (Maxwell GPU with 128 CUDA cores).
- General-purpose edge AI module running Linux.
- Supports standard deep learning frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, etc.).
- Best for prototyping and running complex CNNs or DNNs.
- Akida (by BrainChip):
- Neuromorphic processor (inspired by the human brain).
- Event-based processing and spiking neural networks (SNNs).
- Extremely low power (microwatt to milliwatt range).
- Purpose-built for ultra-low-power AI tasks like anomaly detection, sensor fusion, etc.
Performance & Power
- Jetson Nano:
- Higher compute throughput.
- Power usage: 5W–10W range.
- Suitable for vision-heavy workloads like object detection/classification.
- Akida:
- Much lower power (as low as 100 microwatts for inference).
- Less raw performance but highly efficient on small, sparse data.
- Ideal for always-on edge applications like IoT, wearables, and health monitoring.
3.
Software Ecosystem
- Jetson Nano:
- Full Linux OS, access to NVIDIA JetPack SDK, deep learning libraries.
- Easier for general AI developers and supports mainstream training/inference pipelines.
- Akida:
- Custom SDK with a focus on spiking neural networks.
- Less general-purpose; steeper learning curve if you’re used to standard deep learning.
Use Case Fit
- Jetson Nano: Great for robotics, smart cameras, drones, and developer prototyping.
- Akida: Ideal for power-sensitive edge devices like health monitors, security sensors, and embedded analytics where energy efficiency is critical.
Humble Genuis i totally agree. This nonsense of redomicle is purely to defer and distract. How could anyone discuss this at the AGM when no details have been given.
They are just trying to distract shareholders from real issues like the remuneration report and lack of sales...
I hope people don't fall for it, otherwise nothing will be discussed at the AGM except this, and it will be absolutely pointless, but great for BRN as they'll get off the hook yet again!

New repository set up yesterday on GitHub by NeuroSyd with the title:
Akida-Seizure.
Nothing added as yet but you'd suspect given what they do at the facility it would be our Akida they either been or will be playing with.

Hi @Fullmoonfever,
I found this October 2024 paper titled “Neuromorphic neuromodulation: Towards the next generation of closed-loop neurostimulation” - co-authored by Omid Kavehei - that describes what the research relating to the NeuroSyd GitHub repository is likely going to be about.
Does Table 1, where Akida is falsely labeled as analog, seem somehow familiar?!
Turns out it was you who commented on this error after you had spotted that same table in an earlier version of that paper by the same co-authors in August 2023:
https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-338409
One of the co-authors happens to be Jason Eshraghian, who has been a Member of our Scientific Advisory Board since August 2024 and was a guest on one of the “This is Our Mission” podcasts shortly after the above 2024 paper was submitted (3 May 2024). I trust he has since found out that Akida is digital.
A corrigendum would have been nice, though.
But maybe he is too busy with other things, such as collaborating with Intel Labs’ researchers on this recent paper titled “Neuromorphic Principles for Efficient Large Language Models on Intel Loihi 2”?

I'm Spartacus!
Buddy, you can quote bible verse if that floats your boat.
I'm talking lived experience.
And it wasn't in the boy scouts or with the local footy team, which I'm sure are both fine institutions.
But coming back to the topic at hand, which you seem rather eager to ignore in your rather rabid enthusiasm for Liebeskind.
Why hasn't he make a public appeal for our votes?
Is he afraid?
Is he too lazy?
Is he too good to talk to regular shareholders?
The next 5 years are make or break for BRN shareholders
The next 5 years are 6ft under for some long term holders.From the AMG Meeting Notice ASX Announcement on 1 April, Section 11.....you can read all about Steve Liebeskind..
For some reason I don't hear you demanding more information from Le or Garrick. Why are you not demanding that they come out publicly to justify why they should be re-elected? Their suitabillity/qualifications were covered under Section 7 and 8, just the same as Steve Liebeskind in Section 11.
For some reason it's ok for them but not okay for Liebeskind...
As I said previously, I am a long term concerned shareholder who wants change, and I believe Steve Libeskind is a good starting point to achieve that.
People will vote as they like, but don't act like it's a blackhole around Steve Liebeskind. He's previously been a NED for Brainchip, and you can see his information attached to the AGM notice.
His email address has also been published, and you can easily contact him in LinkedIn. It's for you to decide if you want to do this or not..
I have contact him and I like what I hear, so I will continue to ask people to at least consider his qualification to be a NED, instead of just doing what BRN tell you to do.
Why are they so afraid to have him as a NED?? What would be wrong with introducing another (or replacement) NED who will question the status quo at BrainChip?
No, thank you!
Duy-Loan lee, yes off course! Look at her career, very very impressive!
Ms. Lee has an impressive professional history, both technologically and in executive management, having retired from Texas Instruments (TI) as a Senior Fellow after 35 years. While at TI, she led the global R&D and advanced technology manufacturing from concept to high-volume production for TI’s multi-billion-dollar memory, DSP, and base station product lines and was issued 24 patents. In addition to BrainChip, she currently serves on the boards of Wolfspeed, Atomera, and Cirrus Logic. She was inducted into the Women in Technology Hall of Fame and became the first engineer to be inducted into the Asian Hall of Fame. She has received numerous recognitions for her philanthropic contributions worldwide, including Congressional Special Recognition. Ms. Le serves on the BrainChip board as a non-executive director and is a member of the Audit & Risk and Renumeration& Nominations Committees.
Nothing wrong with this guy either, a finance person.
Mr. Carrick held the positions of Head of Corporate Finance at Shaw and Partners Limited from March 2016 – July 2019, and Head of Equity Capital Markets at Commonwealth Bank from 2012-2015. From 1999 through 2011, Mr. Carrick was Division Director of Equity Capital Markets at Macquarie Capital. Mr. Carrick currently serves as Director of VCF Capital Partners Pty Limited and Non-Executive Director of Global Study Partners Holdings Pty Limited. Carrick is a graduate of the University of Sydney B.Ec, LLB. Mr. Carrick is the Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee and a member of the Remuneration & Nominations Committee at BrainChip.
The BoD are not out in the public for the company but gives advice behind the scenes so we actually have no idea how much they contribute to the company, but especially Mrs Lee impresses me with that CV. You can also find her on older YouTube clips where she tells about her life, which only impressed me even more, no doubt that the lady is extremely smart and driven.

I'm Spartacus!
The difference is the existing members were recruited onto the board.
Your bloke is trying to impose himself on it.
Anyway, this topic has been done to death here now and is likely getting pretty boring to most.
You strongly support Liebskind and have put your case.
I have no strong view on him either way but have refuted some of the assumptions and allegations you have made regarding the existing board members in your campaign to have him elected.
With no further information from him justifying what his imposition on the board would actually accomplish, beyond potential disruption, it’s a no thanks from me.
I’m going to leave this topic at that, as I don’t see much point in rehashing the same information over and over.

I think you are all rather impatient and focusing on stupid stuff. Just take a look at the overwhelming traction and try to calm your titties.
Things take time, and the foundation that has been build seems really solid to me.
I thought when I bought this stock six years ago I was gonna be rich in 1-2 years, boy was I wrong. Working as an electrician on big construction sites has taught me that 8 hours of work is actually not that much in the grand scheme of things, now imagine revolutionizing an entire computer architecture with long sales and design cycles with very diligent costumers who cannot get it wrong, the amount of red tape and quality assurance that goes into this process. I do agree that "Explosion of sales" and "Watch the financials" were severe blows to the credibility and trust in management, but they themselves have probably been humbled by the task at hand. I do agree that the the amount of communications we have received as shareholders could have been way better, but all in all that has no effect on the actual progress being made and you can read between the lines yourselves whether or not you see the technology gaining traction in the market.
How some of you have convinced yourselves that this redomiciling is just a smoke screen is really beyond me, when I read it I was pumped like hell because there is no way you can become a global player with hundreds of billions in MCAP without up listing to NASDAQ, which there is no doubt in my mind is the exchange the board is gunning for, if it's not they should all be replaced instantly. Although I agree I also imagined a dual listing, a lot of you aussies are at the short end of the stick with your supers, but the ASX does seem like it's run by toddlers and crooks so probably no way around that with disclosure rules.
However the fear of a reverse split into massive dilution leaving existing shareholders decimated after redomiciling is a concern of mine, in my mind such things should carry jail sentences as the board has not fulfilled their obligations to shareholders, but it's happened time and time again and it's apparently the name of the game, all we can do is hope management have some sort of moral code and that our loyalty going 10+ years for some of you is rewarded.
I am very very confident this is still a "Not a question if Akida will be successful, but when" to quote our former burnt hands CEO.
And the amount of small personal clashes on this forum is very very tiring to scroll through, please toughen up and keep it relevant to the company.

Mate, your post is full of contradictions.
You're must be new to the stock market if you think focussing on getting the company to be accountable and transparent is "stupid stuff".
You say that the credibility and trust in management has been dealt severe blows, and then say we should just read between the lines ourselves. I hate to break it to you, but that's not how it's meant to work with companies who are listed on the ASX. Other companies are able to keep their shareholders fully up to date with the goings on, but BRN choose not to. Maybe you are okay with that, but It's not acceptable.
You say you were pumped as hell about a potential redomicile, but you fear a reverse split will decimate shareholders. Also a reverse split does not dilute the company! You should do you homework on how a share consolidation works and how it will affect shareholders. Were you also pumped as hell when our share price went from 30c to around 20c after the half cocked "no information" ASX price sensitive announcement?
So glad the foundations "seems" really solid to you.....
I've been patient for more than 10 years as have many other here, and get sick of hearing that we are impatient.
Maybe it is easy for you to "calm your titties" but some of us have significant holdings and are long term but frustrated holders, and I prefer to let management know how I feel, rather than calming my titties.

You don't need to sell and rebuy. You can do an in-specie transfer, which if you do it at a lower price than purchased may even give you a slight tax advantage.

Can’t do that between industry super and personal SMSF.
Hi PC321,
I think it necessary to keep a clear distinction between any reverse split and any subsequent share issue:
"However the fear of a reverse split into massive dilution leaving existing shareholders decimated after redomiciling is a concern of mine"
A reverse split leaves shareholders with the same proportion of shares because the total number of shares is divided by the same factor as each shareholding.
Any subsequent share issue would, of course, result in dilution.
However, if the new shares were to be issued to a cornerstone investor, this should only be as a trigger for expedited commercialization.
Hopefully existing shareholders would also be given the opportunity to increase their holdings.
