BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Bravo]

The below article got me thinking about whether there could be another potential new application for Akida - Smartphone Radar Threat Detection.

Researchers at Penn State have shown it’s possible to eavesdrop on phone calls using mmWave radar - capturing microscopic earpiece vibrations from up to 3 m away, then reconstructing speech with 60% accuracy via AI models like Whisper.

Speaking of Penn State, BrainChip has worked in collaboration with Penn State, Quantum Ventura & Lockheed on CyberNeuro-RT on network threat detection, but I wonder if the same Akida neuromorphic tech could be adapted in a smartphone for:

• Always-on radar anomaly detection without killing battery.
• Instant countermeasures - jamming or obfuscating suspicious radar signals.

If radar eavesdropping ever becomes a big privacy issue, Akida could potentially open a new consumer security vertical - merging radar sensing with edge AI protection right inside your phone.

Not sure how technically feasible this idea would be, but thought it was worth raising.

"Some of you saw some of the stuff on our roadmap. Stay tuned for the second half of this year. We've got some very exciting things that we're announcing that you think about happening on the edge that were not even possible a few years ago."

“Not even possible a few years ago”

 

[JB49]

"…I could go on about those existing ones. But in addition, we’re always about two things: advancing those engagements and creating new ones. We've got some ones that we [can/can’t?] announce right now that we're developing as well.”

Wonder what that's about?

I don’t see anything negative in the podcast – on the contrary: it clarifies things, sets the record straight, and points to upcoming events.


As for the “Nasdaq move” topic, I personally think it’s a misinterpretation born from herd mentality. One or two people wrote that BrainChip is moving to Nasdaq – apparently without noticing that it explicitly said they are considering it. I pointed this out several times, but it seems to have been ignored.

Yes, the communication isn’t exactly how some people would like it to be. But what do you expect from a team of highly talented computer scientists who are, by nature, more introverted?

I’ve been invested in companies whose management promised rockets and mega-deals on a daily basis – only to shut down the business overnight. Personally, I’d much rather see real progress (and it’s undeniable) in partnerships and technology than hear big talk that ultimately leads to nothing.

Nothing is perfect anywhere – but for me, the positives outweigh the negatives. That’s why I remain fundamentally optimistic, even if I occasionally throw in a sarcastic meme or two.

Greets from Oval Office


Edit:

To those saying, “From this podcast I can tell there won’t be a new deal announced anytime soon” — what exactly do you expect? That he’s going to make a market-moving announcement in a podcast?

Personally, I think the hints about upcoming technological achievements are already very bullish.

Just as a reminder: being active in a stock forum and getting one or two likes doesn’t automatically make you one of the world’s top analysts.

Valeo Ships First Lidar ECUs for Europe’s Robo-Shuttle Boom

Valeo begins volume shipments of OTA-upgradeable Lidar ECU modules to European robo-shuttle providers, boosting autonomy and safety in urban transit fleets Armust News

www.armustnews.com

Couple of potential good signs in here
- began shipping new ECUs. The brain behind the lidar eyes
- the ECUs are built to support valeo 3rd gen scala lidar
- What sets Valeo’s system apart is its unique blend of software-defined architecture and purpose-built hardware that ensures high-speed data processing without excessive power draw. According to Jean-Luc di Paola-Galloni, Vice President of Group Strategy and External Affairs at Valeo, the system supports deep-learning-based perception models while keeping latency under 20 milliseconds—a critical threshold for robo-shuttle safety and responsiveness.
- The company is also rumored to be working on a fourth-generation Lidar-ECU platform with built-in AI accelerators and vision fusion capabilities, potentially positioning it as a supplier for future robotaxi initiatives as well.

I couldn't find any reference to Akida in Valeo SNN patents.

This Valeo 2023 patent application

WO2024160994A1 METHOD OF RECONSTRUCTING A PROPERTY OF AN IMAGE AND COMPUTING DEVICE 20230202

references an Intel patent application dating from 2017:

US2020218959A1 METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM TO PERFORM ACTION RECOGNITION WITH A SPIKING NEURAL NETWORK 20171009

In US20200218959A1 techniques and mechanisms for processing differential video data with a spiking neural network are described. The spiking neural network is coupled to receive and process spike trains which represent an encoded version of a sequence comprising frames of differential video data. The frames of differential video data are each based on a difference between a respective two frames of raw video data. The spiked neural network is trained to recognize an activity type, or to classify a video sequence as including a representation of an instance of the activity type.

I'd guess they were citing it as an example of an SNN, as I doubt Valeo would be using 2017 Intel tech in a 2023 development.

Definitely AKIDA inside

Do you remember when LDA will stop selling?

 

[Rach2512]

Question in regard to the shorters, are you able to tell what price range they are aiming for, for them to be able to buy back at a profit?

You know full well that the IR/communication from BrainChip is not controlled by computer scientists - it is controlled by the Board (and Peter is only one member of the Board).

Stop trying to make excuses for the BRN information blackhole... it's tiresome and you come across as being uneducated suggesting the above!

Corporate Update
On 6 January 2025, BrainChip announced the fourth amendment to the Put Option Agreement
(POA) with LDA Capital. The Company issued 40 million shares to LDA Capital and agreed to
raise a minimum of AU$20 million, no later than 30 June 2026. On 23 March 2025, BrainChip
issued a Capital Call Notice to LDA Capital to subscribe for 40 million shares in accordance with
the POA. The capital call remained open as at 30 June 2025, however closed post quarter-end on
24 July. The Company received AUD $8,235,958 for a subscription price of AUD $0.2059 per
share

It’s not about making excuses… it’s about keeping perspective.

The Board may sign off on IR, but no company is obliged to dripfeed the market with updates just to satisfy impatience.

If progress is being made ..and it clearly is …then the absence of constant announcements doesn’t equal an “information blackhole.” Calling it that says more about the frustration of the speaker than about BrainChip’s actual situation. Yes maybe they could do it better … like I mentioned it two-three days ago regarding the cloud … but it is how it is…

If pointing out facts and putting them into context is “uneducated” in your eyes, then perhaps the real issue is that your argument can’t stand without trying to discredit the person making it. I’m fully aware of how corporate communication works … the point I made was about expectations, not about who physically writes the IR releases. You’re free to disagree, but calling people “uneducated” doesn’t make your position stronger .. it just makes the discussion weaker.

As at 28th April LDA were listed in the top 10 holders with around 36.9 mill shares still to drip feeding into the market.
I assume the drip feeding is still taking place.
