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).

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.

, 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.#datascienceua #datascienceuacelebrating #companybirthday #9yearsago #ourjourney | Aleksandra Boguslavskaya

Really thoughtful take, especially calling out profitability as the real issue and the need for innovation. One angle I think is still under-discussed is compute efficiency as a real driver of profitability. Scaling AI isn’t just about adding compute. Power delivery, cooling capacity, and...

Just saw that the Data Science UA company LinkedIn account posted something similar earlier, this time explicitly naming Akida as the neuromorphic chip they had tested in 2024.
Although their statement “One of the first R&D teams to test the neuromorphic Akida chip in 2024” sounds somewhat puzzling to me.
It’s hard to imagine they mean “one of the first in 2024”, because they did it early in the year, like in January/February?
However, they verifiably weren’t among the first researchers ever to test AKD1000 (and that’s the neuromorphic chip they evaluated according to the 2024 AI Hills Conference presentation)…
Although in the grand scheme of things, they may one day count themselves as having been among the first - very broadly speaking.

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.

Back at the hotel I had a quick look through my notes and listed the companies I saw that were showcasing AI solutions
VRAIN Solution …AI-based visual inspection for food factories
KOSKA…AI X-ray and appearance inspection systems (foreign object detection etc.)
Flare Original (“AI Inspector”) – AI foreign object detection and robot sorting systems
Yamazen / KataKyudo (“EYEbeGenesis”) (was together with VRAIN actually)… AI image inspection system for industrial/food use.
And JCM …AI-equipped showcase-type vending machines
That’s not a complete list…just some of the ones that were clearly branded as “AI” on their materials. If someone is interested..
Not to forget this company I mentioned a while ago

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.

Sean Hehir got interviewed on the latest episode of The Brave Technologist podcast, hosted by Luke Mulks, VP of Business Operations at Brave Software and recorded sometime in October:
“BrainChip: Bringing Brain-Inspired AI into Everyday Devices”
From 10:23 min: “So I’m often asked: “Do you ever see the day, where the cloud is abandoned?” Of course not! I think what I call is the right tool for the right job, these two kind of, let’s call it approaches will co-exist. It just makes good common sense, right?”
From 14:30 min: “I would say simply stay tuned to us and watch what we’re gonna announce later this year. I think you’ll be amazed about the functionality we’re gonna be talking about. And, you know, later this year is not that long, as we’re already in October. Later this year, early next year, there’s a lot of things we’re gonna be announcing, you’ll see the possibilities. So, the short answer is: Almost everything you can see in the cloud, will be available on the edge. I strongly believe that.”

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.

I wish I could paint like Vincent
The word I focused on was FUNCTIONALITY. So thinking it will be more about the updated version of AKIDA and its new capabilities.
But like you I am confident about some juicy IP announcements in the near future.

Have you heard about #neuromorphic computing? If you are curious where the field is heading (and where the real opportunities are hiding), this The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine article in PNAS is a great place to start. It casts a wide lens on what is possible.

Interesting 
“Larger capacity: Larger storage capability is one of the factors to enable increased local computational and processing power. Traditional cloud-based AI systems require sensitive data to travel across networks for processing, posing the risk of data breaches. Edge AI fundamentally lessens this risk by processing data locally, where it is created. Micron's G9 UFS 4.1 offers a large capacity option of 1TB NAND to help drive the need for on-device data processing, enabling your smartphone to handle complex computations right at your fingertips.”
