BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Kingkong2015]

Hi Rach2512,
Am I reading this correctly that metavisions XR glasses are using Propesse technology
Sounds very exciting if this is also a possibility for brn to be involved ?.

Very likely.

While Meta has not officially confirmed using BrainChip’s Akida processor in its smart glasses, the possibility is strong given the alignment of technologies. Prophesee’s event-based vision sensors—already linked to Meta—pair naturally with Akida’s neuromorphic chip, which enables ultra-low-power, real-time AI processing at the edge. This combination is ideal for smart glasses requiring fast gesture recognition, eye tracking, and privacy-focused on-device inference. Recently, BrainChip released highly efficient eye-tracking and video-processing models optimized for wearable event-based vision, further strengthening its fit for this use case. Additionally, one of Prophesee’s key investors, Xiaomi, has released its own smart glasses using a Qualcomm AI chip to run a LLaMA 3.2 1B model. However, performance comparisons indicate that BrainChip’s Akida—thanks to its neuromorphic, event-driven architecture—can achieve significantly faster inference and dramatically better power efficiency for similar edge AI workloads. While exact numbers vary, Akida is widely regarded as offering an order of magnitude better speed and efficiency, making it a far more compelling solution for always-on, intelligent wearable devices like Meta’s smart glasses.

Unlike earlier rumors suggesting the Nintendo Switch 2 might use BrainChip, it’s clear that such a device doesn’t truly need Akida—since its primary function is gaming, and any edge AI use cases would be minimal or secondary. However, Meta’s AI smart glasses are an entirely different story. Integrating BrainChip’s Akida would significantly enhance their AI capabilities, enabling real-time image and video processing, efficient LLM reasoning, live translation, and advanced vision model recognition—all directly on-device with minimal power consumption. If Meta truly wants to deliver a standout product, Akida isn’t just a good option—it’s the most critical one. From my perspective as a strong believer in both BrainChip and its vision, this partnership is long overdue. I’ve anticipated this for a long time, and in my view, it’s the only way Meta can truly lead in the wearable AI space.

The only problem now is Akida GenAi is still in FPGA stage. so it won’t be in meta glass for now. My opinion dyor

Take your opinion elsewhere and shut that door lol (kidding)

I might be wrong but I remember Prophesee already stating the use case and advantages of using Akida for event-based cameras (vision sensors) and this was a few years ago so surely they would have been promoting this extreme power reduction with reduced latency and increased accuracy.
There are many reasons akida should be in such devices and if they aren't, I'd like to know why not.

I am praying to see in the next quarterly a line like 'we have received our first royalty payment of.....' it could be $500 for all I care but a royalties reciept means things a are happening... the snowball has started rolling.
And if not and very little revenue is shown again I sigh and think maybe next quarter

Frontgrade Gaisler Launches New GRAIN Line and Wins SNSA Contract to Commercialize First Energy-Efficient Neuromorphic AI for Space Applications​

by Frontgrade TechnologiesApril 2, 2025

Gothenburg, Sweden (April 2, 2025) – The Swedish National Space Agency (SNSA) has awarded Frontgrade Gaisler, a leading provider of radiation-hardened microprocessors for space missions, a contract to commercialize the first neuromorphic System on Chip (SoC) device for space applications. Already in development at Frontgrade Gaisler, the device is part of the company’s new GRAIN (Gaisler Research Artificial Intelligence NOEL-V) product line.

The first GRAIN device that Frontgrade Gaisler will premier – the Gr801 SoC – integrates AkidaTM neuromorphic technology from BrainChip, the world’s first commercial producer of ultra-low power, fully digital, event-based, neuromorphic AI. The GR801 combines Gaisler’s NOEL-V RISC-V processor and the Akida neuromorphic AI processor into a single integrated circuit to enable energy-efficient AI applications in the space environment. Sweden’s Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) is contributing to this development by designing a demonstration application that uses a neuromorphic sensor directly connected to Gaisler’s new GR801 device.
Frontgrade Gaisler is designing the entire GRAIN product line to enable more advanced and autonomous space missions, and to enhance the space industry’s capabilities in energy-efficient AI. The GR8001 SoC will support both commercial and institutional space missions, enabling new applications and meeting strict power and weight constraints.
“Our latest innovation opens new avenues and complements our existing range of proven and reliable processing products,” said Sandi Habinc, General Manager at Frontgrade Gaisler. “GRAIN is an exciting new pursuit for Gaisler because we are well positioned to enable new capabilities for real-time data processing, autonomous navigation, Earth observation, and object detection and tracking.”
“Our continued collaboration with Frontgrade Gaisler to incorporate Akida IP into space SoCs showcases the importance of having environmentally hardened solutions, already proven to perform in the most extreme conditions,” said Sean Hehir, CEO of BrainChip. “We have worked hard to ensure our neuromorphic technology can meet the low-energy, low-latency, high-performance needs of GRAIN and other space-based devices in order to provide AI at – and beyond – the edge.”
Frontgrade Gaisler announced its new GRAIN product line at the second RISC-V in Space Workshop 2025, in Gothenburg, Sweden. The event focuses on how RISC-V technology is being leveraged in space systems, ranging from satellites to deep space missions. Learn more about the GRAIN product line at gaisler.com/grain

A must watch, if we are involved in some form this would be fantastic.

Let’s be hones… the current wave of AI wearables isn’t failing because of a few bugs or bad PR…..It’s failing because the whole concept is off.

You pay 700 bucks upfront, then get slapped with a monthly subscription, additional to your monthly telecommunication anmd internet bill..And for what? A device that does less than the phone already in your pocket. That’s not innovation. That’s reinventing the downgrade … now with a payment plan.

Then there’s the genius idea of projecting private info onto your hand in public. Or using voice commands in the middle of a crowded train. Because, of course, everyone around you needs to hear who you’re texting and what weird question you’re asking your assistant. YES I ASK WEIRD QUESTIONS!!

And to top it off…the others wrap it all up in a digital pet… a virtual rabbit.
As if the target group for AI productivity tools are 8-year-olds.

So if wearables like this don’t work… what’s next?
Honestly, there’s only one logical path left…IMO

Full integration. No more devices. No more gadgets. Just tech that disappears into you.
Call it what you want… implant, interface, neural mesh. A system that enhances memory and cognition…connects data without you asking
assists silently, without needing a screen or a “wake word” and…doesn’t need to explain itself with blinking lights or holograms…

Of course, there are obvious questions…security, health risks, ethics. Sure.
But let’s not pretend we’re not heading exactly in this direction because everything else is just noise.

And no… an “invisible” assistant that follows you from smart speaker to car to smartwatch doesn’t solve it either.
Not if it needs cloud access 24/7. Not if I have to talk to it like an idiot every time. And definitely not if it’s one more account to manage.

Current AI wearables aren’t the future. They’re awkward, expensive distractions that try to solve problems nobody had. (I don’t talk about the product’s which could help actually people with healthy problems… )

If we’re serious about this.. and I mean actually serious… then it’s either…tech that blends in so well you forget it’s there…or tech that becomes a part of you entirely

Everything else? Gimmicks.

And they can keep their talking pins and virtual bunnies. I’ll pass.

Oh I forgot… you maybe don’t need to wear the AI …the AI wears you! #Surrogates

Edit…. GO BRAINCHIP

Chips , at the 15 min mark onwards they start to talk about the necessity of all different types of devises that will intercommunicate without the cloud on extremely low power. Neuromorphic compute will be involved IMO , 100% the question really at the end of the day is which companies get the contracts.
Fingers it's brn.

We fit the bill for energy efficiency, small footprint, low heat generation and the ability to process and act without the need for constant cloud access, and, at a reasonable cost.
If we are not there, we should be.

What Fur was describing IS the future, but something like this will be one of the steps towards it.
We didn't just jump off horses straight into GTHo's.
We progressed through T models and a thousand further iterations before we even had a concept Vision EQXX, and the accompanying but sadly short-lived $2.34 share price.
