- Start date
It's the timing and new technology combined, I think, it takes years to implement new technology and actually start using it.
The Onsor NEXA glasses will be launched this year, more info here:

Likely not a huge moneymaker, but it's very good advertising for wearable devises.
We partnered with RTX Rayton for neuromorphic radar signaling processing April last year.

Also, not likely to be a huge moneymaker but gives the company prestige/advertising, space companies uses the best possible solution to a problem.
IBM's Kevin Johnson has been playing around with AKD1000 combined with his company software program and could achieve huge power savings, and quote:
Deepfake voice attacks are already here. I built a hardware-accelerated MFA to stop them with Symphony and Akida.
He is fairly high ranking and that he is spending time playing around with a 250 bucks M2 card from BRN says a lot.
BRN is spending 2.5 million on the AKD2500 testing chip, rest assured they wouldn't do that if there wasn't any interest.
So based on that, Brainchip is getting more traction, is a much more mature company and that's why some of us are looking under the couch for coins for buying more sharers.

Hi Five.
Definitely been a difficult hold and particularly now with the share price where it sits.
I'm not going to try and convince you either way because holding or not comes down to your individual circumstances, your appetite for risk, your ability to handle loss, your timeframe and your patience.
There are plenty of reasons to hold, or not, elucidated both here, on the crapper and from numerous other sources out there, and as has been famously expressed by many, on many occasions, DYOR.
Having lost faith is one thing, and I can sympathise with you there, but writing it off as a loss in your head is a different thing entirely to actually selling out, and crystallising it.
Again, your choice.
And again maybe right, maybe wrong, dependant on your individual circumstance.
But, I'd consider that the share price hasn't been this depressed for about 5 and a half years.
I can't tell you it won't go lower still. It might.
But it might also go the other way.
Given how long we've been pushed (or if you prefer, just fallen as per normal market forces
) we all know one decent announcement will likely send us flying.If I was considering selling out, I'd be waiting for that.
It maybe just a spike like the MB announcement in January 2022.
It may be just another of the innumerable pumps and dumps you can spot on the chart, or, it might just be the rocket ship ignition we've all been waiting for, for so long.
There's no guarantees.
It could be any of these or something else entirely.
As for all of us, it's your call.
The only counsel I would advise, is to not, too hastily, throw away your shares.
Don't act emotionally.
Rather, develop a multi faceted plan so that when you act, either because the price goes down further, or up dramatically, or bobs along here for another six months, you'll do so in a considered manner.
Then, whether its winner, winner chicken dinner, or a long dark night of the soul, you will have done your best.
And the share price will do, what the share price will do.
Merely a statement of fact.
Personally, I think we are closer to take off than ever before.
But I've stopped trying to predict the future in terms of months or years, or trying to convince anyone else, of anything.
It could be anytime now..........or never.
There are just too many unknown and unknowable variables.
Beyond expectations of how technology and society may progress, it most likely, will be full of surprises.
If it was all laid out, there'd be no market, of winners and loser's.
Good Luck To All genuine Holders.

I have had investments where I got the shots with them doing nothing for such a long time and then sold at a loss usually
Only to be even more annoyed when it goes off like a rocket
Lesson learned there a few times over
So unless it’s absolutely necessary to sell DONT

Key reasons for this parallel configuration include:
- Scalability for Large Networks: Akida processors can be linked together to support very large spiking neural networks (SNNs) that exceed the memory or node capacity of a single chip.
- Increased Performance (Throughput/FPS): Running in parallel allows for higher frames-per-second (FPS) in video analytics, faster inference for audio, and quicker analysis of sensor data.
- Multi-camera/Multi-stream Processing: Parallel setups enable efficient, simultaneous processing of multiple data streams, such as multiple cameras in a smart city or industrial setting.
- Reduced Latency: By using multi-chip expansion (MCM - multi-chip module), devices can process data immediately at the edge without needing to send data to the cloud, decreasing latency for real-time applications.
- Energy Efficiency: Despite running in parallel, the event-based architecture means power is only consumed when neurons fire, ensuring that increased processing capability does not lead to a linear increase in power consumption.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out we’re also somehow connected to South Korean ASIC design house ASICLAND, whose engineers work closely with global partners, including TSMC and Arm.
The fact that both their CMO & Head of Overseas Sales and the company’s Global Strategy Manager “celebrated” this week’s LinkedIn post about our redesigned website with a clapping-hands emoji each is a little too much of a coincidence, don’t you think?
“ASICLAND is a leading design house specializing in application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design, offering high-performance, low-power, and cost-optimized design services. As an official Value Chain Alliance (VCA) partner of TSMC—the world’s No.1 foundry—ASICLAND serves as a trusted bridge between customers and TSMC.

Through this, we are expanding the global market in various physical AI (Physical AI) fields such as autonomous driving, robotics, wearable, and intelligent IoT.
In particular, the 'AKD2500' that we are cooperating with this time is based on the second-generation architecture of brain chips, and it is a chip optimised for ultra-low power and high-efficiency computing required in the field of robotics and physical AI, which has become a hot topic recently.
Through this contract, A-Group will expand its design portfolio beyond the existing NPU design to the next-generation technology of neuromopic AI semiconductors. This is expected to be an important technological leap that can attract global fabless customers beyond the domestic market.
"The cooperation with Brainchip, a global neuromographic AI company, is a case that proves Asicland's ASIC design capabilities are at a global level," and said, "With the successful implementation of this project, we will consolidate the technical bridgehead to attract global fabricless customers and actively expand the proportion of global sales."

Akida Pico: The Tiny Brain Making “Always-On” AI a Reality
In the world of Edge AI, there’s always been a tradeoff: high intelligence, always-on capability, or long battery life. If you wanted a device to listen for a voice command or monitor something 24/7, you usually had to accept that the battery would be drained just waiting for a command.
Enter Akida Pico.
Built on BrainChip’s proprietary event-based processing platform, Akida Pico is an ultra-low-power co-processor (or standalone core) designed to give small devices “eyes and ears” without the power-hungry baggage of a traditional CPU tasked with the nuisance of stand-by mode.
Why “Event-Based” is a Game Changer
Traditional AI processors are like a light that stays on all night, even when the room is empty. They’re constantly crunching numbers regardless of whether anything significant is happening.
Akida Pico uses event-based processing, which mimics the human brain. It only “fires” when it detects a relevant change in data (an “event”). If nothing is happening, it consumes almost zero power. This allows it to operate in the microwatt (uW) to milliwatt (mW) range, making it the leanest NPU core in the industry.
Unlike most chips that need a heavy-duty host CPU, this core can operate entirely standalone, pulling just microwatts to milliwatts of power. Pico stays lean by using “power islands” to make sure its standby mode doesn’t incur the leakage of the whole system.
Real-World Use Cases
Akida Pico isn’t just a spec sheet; it’s designed for specific, high-impact “extreme edge” applications.
Wake-up Systems
In many designs, Akida Pico acts as a low-power filter. Instead of the main CPU staying awake to listen for a keyword or detect motion, Pico remains on duty. When it identifies a “qualified event,” like a specific voice command, it sends a low-power interrupt to “wake up” the main MCU: perfect for applications like smart appliances, voice assistants, and wearables.
Healthcare
Imagine a wearable that monitors heart health or detects the early onset of a seizure. Because Pico is purely digital and ultra-efficient, it can perform medical anomaly detection locally on the device without ever needing to send data to the cloud. Patients can enjoy prolonged battery life with a monitor that only alerts a doctor when a specific event is detected.
Industrial Predictive Maintenance
In a factory, thousands of motors hum 24/7. Identifying a failing part early can prevent emergency repairs or lost productivity. Akida Pico can be integrated into remote sensors to perform industrial anomaly detection, analyzing vibration patterns or thermal spikes in real-time. An industrial sensor can run for years, only “reporting in” if it hears a problem.
Developer-Friendly: No New Languages Required
Akida Pico is easy test, train, and deploy with BrainChips Meta TF development tool. MetaTF includes a processor IP simulator for model execution, as well as support for Akida hardware like the AKD1000 reference SoC and Akida 2 FPGA platform. Inspired by the Keras API, MetaTF provides a high-level Python API for neural networks. This API facilitates early evaluation, design, final tuning, and productization of neural network models.
- Native Support: Works directly with TensorFlow/Keras and PyTorch.
- Low-Code/No-Code: For those who aren’t AI experts, BrainChip offers turnkey tools to deploy optimized models quickly.
The Bottom Line
Akida Pico is about making the Internet of Things intelligent without the need to tether devices to a charging cable. With its ultra-low power neuromorphic technology at the edge, Pico is proving that you don’t need a massive power budget to have a massive impact.

This contract is a project for the development of 'AKD2500', Brainchip's second-generation neuromorphic AI processor. In this project, Asicland will provide comprehensive design services ranging from Level 1 to ASIC design, wafer packaging, and testing that apply the customer's neuromopic Core.
Brainchip is the world's first company to commercialise 'Neuromorphic' technology that imitates the neural network structure of the human brain. The core product, the 'Akida' processor, maximises energy efficiency by adopting a spiked neural network (SNN) structure that performs calculations only when there is a data change, and provides 'On-chip Learning' function that allows real-time learning on the device itself. Through this, we are expanding the global market in various physical AI (Physical AI) fields such as autonomous driving, robotics, wearable, and intelligent IoT.
In particular, the 'AKD2500' that we are cooperating with this time is based on the second-generation architecture of brain chips, and it is a chip optimised for ultra-low power and high-efficiency computing required in the field of robotics and physical AI, which has become a hot topic recently.
Through this contract, A-Group will expand its design portfolio beyond the existing NPU design to the next-generation technology of neuromopic AI semiconductors. This is expected to be an important technological leap that can attract global fabless customers beyond the domestic market.
"The cooperation with Brainchip, a global neuromographic AI company, is a case that proves Asicland's ASIC design capabilities are at a global level," and said, "With the successful implementation of this project, we will consolidate the technical bridgehead to attract global fabricless customers and actively expand the proportion of global sales."
On the other hand, Asicland is expanding cooperation with customers in various industries based on the accumulated side process design know-how as the only TSMC VCA (Value Chain Alliance) in Korea.
Love your work
Awesome
Just the kick I needed
Oh man… and I was scratching my head “why is the share price dumping?” There it is… good news… the simplest explanation is always the most obvious….
Hi FMF,
I don't think I can add anything to Kurt's post.
The Akida Edge Box (AEB) has 2 AKida chips:

The QV CyberNeuro-RT runs on the AEB. Given that latency is a crucial factor in cybersecurity, it's possible that CN-RT uses the 2 Akidas in parallel.
It is also possible to link a whole lot more Akidae (64) together.
Can't wait for the Akida 3 Edge Box. Akida 3 will be much lower latency because it has TENNs and substitutes a solid state switching interconnect mesh for a packet switched copper mesh. I suppose that the pricing of Akida 3 will be at a premium because of its superior capabilities and performance.
