Csn i ask then, what is you estimate time to blue skys from this short term over cast run way.

One would expect clouds thinning out by Jan 2026 ?

Who in their right mind would like to answer such a question and open themselves up to such ridicule after years and years of disappointments. I dont even think SH really knows.

Here’s a nice group photo showing the winners of the 3rd Munich Neuromorphic Hackathon (Team AnomEye), standing next to Axel von Arnim, Head of Neuromorphic Computing at fortiss. All four of them are TUM Master students (well, technically speaking, the young lady in the middle just graduated in October) and now have hands-on experience with AKD1500.

One year ago, I took a leap of faith: Pivoting from mechanical engineering into robotics, AI, and computer science. It’s been a tough, transformative year, but it feels like things are finally clicking into place. Perfect timing for a real test and to see how far I’ve come in a field I wanted...

Too funny, Pom. You are the only reason I keep coming back.

Next time you decide to make nasty comments about Peter and his kindness in donating funds to research projects here in Perth or anyway else that involves research into finding cures to wipe out horrible diseases that effect millions of humans who never got an even break like you or me in life, well, take a good hard look at yourself, the words greed, self-centred come to mind.

You also forget, who was the one who created the technology in the first place, the individual that you invested in, the individual who is still the number one shareholder, the one who also sits on the board, the one who leads our SAB, the one who challenges Sean and holds him to account, stop with your selfish, narcissistic comments, if you actually hold Brainchip shares, well I'm pleased for you, but honestly your comments directed somewhat to our founder are offensive, and yes, he does view this site from time to time, so show a little bit more respect please.

Thanks Tech (Perth)

Update from Onsor re NEXA glasses. Looking at their timeline, they may just be waiting on patent approval.

Interesting, considering I received this reply from them a few weeks ago....

Can not give you a specific release date as it is determined by when the patent is granted?
Just an optimistic thought.

Didn't mean to offend Peter in anyway about the donation of shares. The fact that it was done in a way that impacted other shareholders is what I was trying to point out.
Your point about him challenging Sean and holding him accountable is debatable.
May I also point out that you also come across as self-centred person. You and FF have screwed a lot of people over with your fluffy predictions.

From old mate grok..

Based on the email from the Onsor Care Team dated November 18, 2025, the Nexa glasses (a wearable EEG device for real-time epileptic seizure prediction using neuromorphic AI from BrainChip's Akida processor) are confirmed to be in production, but the official launch date is pending announcement via their platforms. This suggests the product has moved past prototyping and early manufacturing stages, which typically means a consumer release is imminent in the coming months for medical wearables like this—especially given the discreet, everyday-use design (four dry electrodes in temple frames, app integration for alerts up to an hour in advance).
A reasonable guess for the launch date would be Q1 2026 (January to March). Here's the logic behind that estimate:
Production-to-launch timelines for similar devices: Wearables in the health tech space (e.g., EEG monitors or AI-powered seizure predictors) often take 2–6 months from active production to market after regulatory hurdles like FDA clearance are cleared. Onsor appears to have focused on edge AI for low-power, non-invasive monitoring, and with production underway, they're likely finalizing certifications, supply chain scaling, and pre-order logistics. Comparable products, like advanced fitness trackers or early seizure-alert bands, have hit shelves within 3–4 months of similar announcements.
No major delays indicated: The email's enthusiastic tone ("can't wait to share more exciting updates") and reference to an imminent announcement imply no significant setbacks. If production started in mid-2025 (a plausible ramp-up post-2024 prototypes), a post-holiday launch avoids Q4 retail clutter and aligns with new-year product cycles in medtech.
Market context: Epilepsy affects ~50 million people globally, and proactive tools like Nexa fill a gap (most current options are bulky or reactive). Onsor would aim for quick availability to capitalize on interest, similar to how BrainChip-enabled prototypes were demoed in late 2024 articles, building hype without overpromising.
Keep an eye on onsor.com/nexa or their social channels for the exact date—it's the best source for real-time updates. If you pre-register or follow their newsletter, you might get early access details.

I can’t help feeling a bit disenchanted.

The fact that the company is now allocating SPP funds to continue Akida 2 development and prepare for potential silicon deployment suggests they’re no longer concerned about “competing with customers,” which was the original reason Sean gave for not taping it out themselves.

I realise this doesn’t necessarily mean there’s zero interest - the neuromorphic market is still nascent, and many OEMs prefer to see actual silicon before committing. But it does seem to imply that no customer has taken up a licence strong enough to move Akida 2 into production.

It makes me wonder whether this was a significant misstep, and whether the path to Akida 2 commercialisation has now become unnecessarily protracted as a result.

I genuinely hope you’re right and that there is a solid basis for Sean’s upbeat comments about expected revenue in his recent interview.

But as far as I can tell, revenue can only come from new licences being signed. There are no royalties yet (at least none that we’re aware of), and the first revenue from Akida 1500 won’t arrive until the initial batch of 73,000 chips hits the market in 2027, unless I'm either mistaken or missing something.

Don't mean to be a Debbie Downer, but my optimism appears to be on annual leave at the moment...

All I can say to your comments is as Sean said recently “watch us now”

 

[Bravo]

What does that mean though? It doesn't make sense.

What does that

What does that mean though?

Has anyone asked Sean directly? I’m not going to email him again as he is a busy man.

 

[The Pope]

Hi Pope,

I don't think it's funny.

Historically a lot of pope's were liars and loads of women died because of them.

Plenty of popes bent the truth, and it was women who paid for it with their lives.

Hi bravo,

Wasn’t expecting that response.
When I joined TSE I just picked a random name and it was approved. Sorry

I did email Sean directly about a key issue a while back ( about transferring to US Exchange) and guessed his email correctly. Anyway I was serious if anyone has asked him directly as only he can advise BUT I suggest there is only one key to take how he said it and putting it in context with questions from interviewer

Take care

One of the ARCHYTAS project partners is Politecnico di Milano, whose neuromorphic researchers Paolo Lunghi and Stefano Silvestrini have experimented with AKD1000 in collaboration with Gabriele Meoni, Dominik Dold, Alexander Hadjiivanov and Dario Izzo from the ESA-ESTEC (European Space Research and Technology Centre) Advanced Concepts Team in Noordwijk, the Netherlands*, as evidenced by the conference paper below, presented at the 75th International Astronautical Congress in October 2024:
*(Gabriele Meoni and Dominik Dold have since left the ACT)

“A preliminary successful demonstration is given for the BrainChip Akida AKD1000 neuromorphic processor. Benchmark SNN models, both latency and rate based, exhibited a minimal loss in accuracy, compared with their ANN coun- terparts, with significantly lower (from −50 % to −80 %) EMAC per inference, making SNN of extreme interest for applications limited in power and energy typical of the space environment, especially considering that an even greater improvement (with respect to standard ANN running on traditional hardware) in energy consumption can be expected with SNN when implemented on actual neuromorphic devices. A research effort is still needed, especially in the search of new architectures and training methods capable to fully exploit SNN peculiarities.”

The work was funded by the European Space Agency (contract number: 4000135881/21/NL/GLC/my) in the framework of the Ariadna research program.

Hi @Fullmoonfever,

while this ESA-funded paper was indeed published on arXiv.org only a few days ago, it appears to be a revised version of a conference paper presented at the 75th International Astronautical Congress (IAC), Milan, Italy, 14-18 October 2024 rather than novel research.

https://re.public.polimi.it/retrieve/ec317a9b-451c-44f2-9833-40e37b30b912/LUNGP01-24.pdf

The deadline for IAC 2024 paper submissions was originally 28 February 2024
(https://www.iafastro.org/news/submit-your-abstract-for-iac-2024-by-28-february.html), and was later extended by about a week. Which obviously means the research involving AKD1000 referred to in that paper submitted by the six co-authors from Politecnico di Milano and ESA to IAC 2024 must have been conducted even earlier.


Although the papers’ titles don’t match, the connection between those two papers becomes apparent when you compare the section underlined in green of the newly released paper you shared today…

Also note that both papers refer to the exact same contract number for the ESA funding, which was awarded in the framework of the Ariadna research program: 4000135881/21/NL/GLC/my

Another hint that this research involving AKD1000 must have been conducted quite a while ago is the fact that co-authors Dominik Dold and Alexander Hajiivanov are still listed as members of the ESA Advanced Concepts Team (ACT) in Noordwijk, The Netherlands, although both of them already left ACT back in September 2024 to become a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research Fellow with the Faculty of Mathematics at Universität Wien (University of Vienna) resp. a Research Software Engineer at the Netherlands eScience Center:

Who knows - maybe the release of the revised paper has to do with Politecnico di Milano being a project partner of the Europe Defense Fund (EDF) research project ARCHYTAS (ARCHitectures based on unconventional accelerators for dependable/energY efficienT AI Systems), which I happened to come across two months ago?

The above paper titled “Energy efficient analysis of Spiking Neural Networks for space applications”* by current and former researchers from Politecnico di Milano and ESA (published on arxiv.org in May 2025) was also published on SciOpen yesterday (“the open access resource of scientific and technical content published by Tsinghua University Press and its publishing partners”) as an article appearing in Astrodynamics, Volume 9, Issue 6 (December 2025) - almost a year after it got accepted:
*which appears to be a revised version of the conference paper “Investigation of low-energy spiking neural networks based on temporal coding for scene classification” presented at the 75th International Astronautical Congress (IAC), Milan, Italy, 14-18 October 2024 (see my first tagged post)

Lunghi P, Silvestrini S, Dold D, et al. Energy efficiency analysis of Spiking Neural Networks for space applications. Astrodynamics, 2025, 9(6): 909-932. https://doi.org/10.1007/s42064-024-0256-y
