Hi Boab,Sounds good Manny but let's hope we don't get any good staff pouched. The US Gov seems to be a bottomless pit when it comes to the DOD.
I held Bluglass about 16 or 17 years ago, maybe longer. Always liked the company.Hi Boab,
I notice that Bluglass refers to DoD but also refers to DoW in their latest presentation:
BLGDA (they just did a consolidation), have a special semiconductor manufacturing process (Remote Plasma Chemical Vapour Deposition - RPCVD) which improves laser performance. They talk a good powerpoint:

NB: I hold BLG, so anything I say should be treated with kid gloves.
Hi Jacob,Thats only 7 months Tech, or are you saying 18 months from Jan 25 when you said 25 would be a breakout year, Why 25 and now why June 26
Looks like they are getting some traction now. They hived off the diode business to concentrate on lasers. Have you looked at the presentation? (NFA).I held Bluglass about 16 or 17 years ago, maybe longer. Always liked the company.

Just over ten months ago, I spotted the above job ad by Data Science UA, a company from Ukraine:
“(…) Data Science UA is looking for a Junior Machine Learning Engineer to become a helping hand for our internal Data Science team. Do you want to work on some real projects for our Clients and/or perform R&D of novel AI algorithms and platforms (in particular, on the neuromorphic platform Brainchip Akida)? (…)”
I just noticed that earlier today their Head of AI Consulting, who has a PhD in polymer chemistry and describes his job as “specializing in integrating AI solutions into chemical and pharmaceutical R&D” posted very favourably about neuromorphic chips in general and Akida in particular, which they had assessed in their latest R&D project, benchmarking it against NVIDIA Jetson hardware. A paper on this R&D project is currently being worked on.

An IT association based in the Ukrainian city of Chernivtsi organised the AI Hills Conference that took place there on Saturday and brought together over 200 participants interested in AI.
Since one of the invited speakers happened to be a gentleman presenting on neuromorphic chips, I decided to have a closer look at the uploaded conference pictures and video, since we’ve known for over a year that Ukraine-based Data Science UA has been playing around with Akida. And bingo - the speaker did indeed represent Data Science UA!

According to my Google Lens translation, Ilya Babichev started out talking about the advantages and disadvantages of neuromorphic chips in general - the disadvantages being that precision-wise, they have yet to prove themselves more accurate than the “classic” (= von Neumann) architecture, that the software for NC has not yet caught up with the hardware and that well-defined performance benchmarks were still missing.
After introducing AKD1000, he listed at least three different use cases, namely drone detection (obviously a very important real life use case in 2025 Ukraine!), keyword detection and recognition of surface types, such as identifying areas of soil suitable for planting crops with the help of a quadcopter, in areas where forest fires and deforestation have resulted in land that can be repurposed for agriculture.

AI helps reforestation with quadcopters and Akida chips | Aleksandra Boguslavskaya posted on the topic | LinkedIn
Reforestation with AI🌲🤖 As environmental concerns rise, forest fires and deforestation continue to threaten our green cover. Some studies show a global rise in wildfires, with the UN Environment Programme predicting an increase of up to 14% by 2030, 30% by 2050, and 50% by the end of the...www.linkedin.com

Ukrainian company Data Science UA, which is headquartered in London and offers AI consulting and development of AI solutions for all kinds and sizes of businesses, is celebrating its 9th birthday today!
Despite Putin’s Russia continuing to ruthlessly attack Ukraine on a daily basis, the team around Dubai-based Founder and CEO Aleksandra Boguslavskaya - many of whom are based in Ukraine - keeps growing.

As I laid out in previous posts, Data Science UA were testing Akida for several use cases last year: sustainable AI model training for object detection and identification in images or videos, drone detection (obviously a very important real life use case in Ukraine!), keyword detection and recognition of surface types, such as identifying areas of soil suitable for planting crops with the help of a quadcopter, in areas where forest fires and deforestation have resulted in land that can be repurposed for agriculture.
Not sure, though, whether “neuromorphic chips”refers to more than one Akida chip or implies they also evaluated other companies’ neuromorphic product offerings.

Today, Data Science UA turns 9 🎉 🥳 Back in 2016, on November 26, we organized Kyiv’s first Data Science & AI tech conference. That's how our story started 🥳 Top speakers from Grammarly, Snapchat, and Ring joined the conference. Even the founder of DataRobot flew in from Boston to Kyiv...www.linkedin.com

Today I was at a trade fair in Japan. I can only say that AI systems for detecting foreign objects and any anomalies or expiration dates in all kinds of products are booming. In just one hall I found five companies that specialize in these kinds of systems using third-party software. Unfortunately, none of them wanted to reveal which AI they’re using. Maybe Bravo can research it if she feels like it, or Esq, etc.

If that's the case, why did they raise capital a few weeks ago instead of waitinf to announce that positive news..?As far as Megachip goes, I am assuming brainchip will disclose within a week of a resign with them and advise shareholders before Christmas that we are still in a partnership. Imo.
No mate. They only had the diode business back then. Lasers are a good business to be in if your any good. I have shares in EOS and they are wotld leaders in laser tech. I'll have a look at the presso.Looks like they are getting some traction now. They hived off the diode business to concentrate on lasers. Have you looked at the presentation? (NFA).
The word I focused on was FUNCTIONALITY. So thinking it will be more about the updated version of AKIDA and its new capabilities.Sounds like we should be expecting some juicy announcements very very soon! Hopefully super juicy!
