BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Drewski]

The Silicambrian Explosion

When BrainChip (BRN) suddenly hits mass adoption, it will spark a "Silicambrian Explosion"—a silicon/IP-fueled burst of neuromorphic innovation, mirroring the ancient Cambrian Explosion's rapid diversification of life, but this time evolving edge AI from niche experiments to everywhere-embedded intelligence. Just as the original event birthed complex multicellular life (including early brains), BrainChip's Akida chips and IP will explode into trillions of low-power, brain-like processors across IoT, autos, and beyond, turning sci-fi into silicon reality.

Buckle up: Darwin would approve of this evolutionary upgrade.

Blue Ridge (now Parsons) involvement with Brainchip was disclosed via US news release 10th April 2023. Its likely that they had been trialing AKIDA for some time before the news release.
We saw some very positive news concerning Parsons and the 1500 tape out in the latest Quarterly.
Onsor involvement with Brainchip was disclosed on their website as commencing in 2022. Now they plan to commercially produce in 2026.
Tata Elxsi involvement with Brainchip was disclosed via US news release 28th August 2023. Its likely that they had been trialing AKIDA for some. Further news due sometime this year or early next year?
Same as above for AI Labs - news release 5th Feb'23, Lorsor - news release 4th June'23, Information Systems Lab - news release 9th Jan'22, Intellisense Systems Lab news release - 21st March'23.
Further news due on the above in the coming months ahead?
Of course we already know about AIRBUS, US AFRL, Bascom Hunter, Quantum Ventura/Lockheed-Martin game changing cybersecurity which have all been around for some time.
Then there are plenty of more recent 'tie up's, eg Chelpis.
When you look back over news releases its obvious that there are plenty of opportunities which are likely to produce further volumes at some stage.
Parsons have opened the door and more will follow.
We should see some support $$$ coming from Parsons, Onsor and maybe more in the coming months ahead.

Hi Manny,

I know Tata have been around since at least 2019. (someone pointed it out on the crapper at the time)

@uiux picked up the baton, did a deep dive and exposed the whole story!!!!

Yep, as you pointed out, they have been with us for a long time now. Time to see something come out from Tata.
As pointed out by other posters those that we know about via news releases are likely to a fraction of the number of those testing under NDA.

Can you feel the electricity in the air, so much positive energy coming through, in a rather strange way I feel
that all the manipulation and compression of our share price is such a huge opportunity to really load up, just
wish I could free up some cash because at 20c this massive opportunity simply won't last, is that someone's
shorts on fire?

Moving right along.......this video that many have already watched, well, please watch it again, it's where we are heading at years
end, Tony is just excellent, his sense of humor and relaxed manner is so refreshing, yet he gets the serious information out about
how big this SOTA break through is for Brainchip, 100% worth revisiting, hope you enjoy it as much as I did.



Regards to all.........Tech.

Apologies if already posted as haven't got to end of posts yet.

Good read to understand what Parsons does.

Here it is clearly stated, but it was in 2011. I hope it did not change since then.

The revised GIASaaS (Global Instant Satellite as a Service, formerly Greek Infrastructure for Satellite as a Service) concept website by OHB Hellas is finally back online - and Akida now no longer shows up as UAV1 (see my post above) but as one of three SATs! 🛰

AKIDA, the envisioned SAT with the AKD1000 PCIe Card onboard, is slated to handle both Object Detection as well as Satellite Detection, while the planned KRIA and CORAL satellites (equipped with a Xilinx KRIA KV260 Vision AI Starter Kit resp. a Google Coral TPU Dev Board) are tasked to handle Vessel Detection, Cloud Detection and Fire Detection (for some reason OHB Hellas removed Flood Detection from the list of applications).

Please note that this is currently a concept website only.

The idea behind GIASaaS as well as mock 3D-printed versions of the yet-to-be-lauched satellites were presented at DEFEA 2025 - Defense Exhibition Athens earlier this month, as @Stable Genius had spotted on LinkedIn:

Thank you @Frangipani , but I do not understand the results.
Can you explain further, or is there a page missing? The last page, "Experimental Results", does not state which chip it is.

BrainChip (ASX:BRN) is taping out AKD1500 for volume production in 2026: Interview with CEO Hehir | Alf Kuchenbuch

BrainChip is mass producing AKD1500 now. It's a mW AI chip to run inference on camera and sensor data streams on battery. How? Because it is event-based, like our brains. (Delivery in 3Q2026, as Sean says.)

Something fascinating is happening inside the world’s data centers.
For more than a decade, GPUs have powered the AI revolution.

But as models grow to trillions of parameters and power costs surge, we’re hitting physical limits — and the race is on to reimagine what computing hardware should look like.

What’s emerging is nothing short of a quiet revolution — new architectures that might finally challenge the GPU’s monopoly on AI compute.

⸻

Cerebras Systems

Building wafer-scale engines — chips the size of dinner plates that can train massive models without the pain of GPU clusters. One chip, one model, no fragmentation.

Groq

Taking a radical approach with a deterministic Language Processing Unit (LPU) designed for ultra-low-latency inference. Already powering sovereign AI projects in the Middle East.

Graphcore & SambaNova

Re-architecting dataflow itself — bringing compute and memory closer together for huge efficiency gains in model training.

Lightmatter

Computing with light instead of electricity.
Its photonic chips use optical interconnects to link processors at fiber-optic speeds — a potential game-changer for hyperscale AI clusters.

BrainChip

Taking inspiration from biology, with neuromorphic chips that mimic spiking neurons to run AI at milliwatt power levels — perfect for edge AI.

Etched

Going all-in on specialization — a transformer-only ASIC that, if its claims hold, could replace hundreds of GPUs for a fraction of the cost.

⸻

Each of these players is betting on a different principle —
wafer-scale integration, deterministic execution, optical communication, or brain-like computation —
but they share one goal: break free from the GPU bottleneck.

It’s becoming clear that the future of AI compute will be heterogeneous.
GPUs will stay the workhorses, but they’ll soon be joined by optical, neuromorphic, and specialized accelerators — turning tomorrow’s data centers into orchestras of silicon.

Guten Abend, CHIPS,

the abbreviations DPU, TPU and NPU refer to three different hardware platforms, cf. the preceding presentation slide titled “AI Model Overview” or the following excerpt from the May 2025 post of mine I had tagged above:

https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-462394

“The revised GIASaaS (Global Instant Satellite as a Service, formerly Greek Infrastructure for Satellite as a Service) concept website by OHB Hellas is finally back online - and Akida now no longer shows up as UAV1 (see my post above) but as one of three SATs! 🛰

AKIDA, the envisioned SAT with the AKD1000 PCIe Card onboard, is slated to handle both Object Detection as well as Satellite Detection, while the planned KRIA and CORAL satellites (equipped with a Xilinx KRIA KV260 Vision AI Starter Kit resp. a Google Coral TPU Dev Board) are tasked to handle Vessel Detection, Cloud Detection and Fire Detection (for some reason OHB Hellas removed Flood Detection from the list of applications).

Please note that this is currently a concept website only.”


Flood detection was originally also slated to be tasked by both KRIA (DPU) and CORAL (TPU) (see here as well as under Experimental Results), but is no longer listed as a choosable application on the updated GIASaaS website https://giasaas.eu/.


Generally speaking, it would of course be helpful to also have the video recordings to go along with these conference presentations…

Good morning chips!

Will we finally start to rise or will we continue to ride the same rollercoaster ?
