So high volume customers can get the chip for 4 bucks a pop, I guess high profile customers as well?
Small volume is much more, okay, fair enough.
Why not 5 bucks as minimum price?
Anyway, this isn't the main business model but more a branch out thing, only 73k units in 2027 and 450k 2026/28.
AK2 IP deal(s) should be the main earner, so Sean better get some deals signed pretty soon or?
From the presentation:
Proceeds from the Placement and SPP will be used primarily to support the ongoing
commercialisation of Akida 2.0 technology and the development, productization and commercialization of the new TENNs product. This represents the next expansion in BrainChip’s product portfolio and builds on its existing leadership position in the field of neuromorphic technology.
Non-deal related use of funds includes:
Accelerate development of TENNs technology and derivative products & models for sales
opportunities and product portfolio expansion.
Continued development of Akida 2.0 IP and design costs necessary for potential
deployment in silicon
Development of a cloud-based FPGA system to run Akida 2.0 and future platforms for customer evaluation purposes.
Advancement of Generative AI technology platform to support LLM (Large Language
Models) on edge devices.
Support development of world -class reference designs to demonstrate capabilities, increase customer engagement & accelerate time to market for complete AI solutions
Ongoing investment in research & development to analyze new and emerging technology
opportunities for novel edge AI applications and product roadmap expansion.
This is dragging out and out and they are even thinking about making an AK2 chip in silicon! That indicates some customers might want a physical chip for evaluation and not cloud based, or am I not reading this correctly? Or will it be for sale in larger numbers? Okay, they write potential deployment, hmm.
If Sean can't secure any major IP deals soon, it's not looking good IMO.
