BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Dhm]

I found this recent research article from 1 April 2022 VERRRY interesting! This work was funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and some of the authors were employed by Infineon Technologies & BMW Group.

Spoiler alert. The article doesn't mention BrainChip. Is it just me but I find the absence is very telling especially in context of the last paragraph which states:

"When it comes to AI-based autonomous driving, ensuring functional safety of both software and hardware is a critical issue. The principles that are currently developed to support machine learning models (Henriksson et al., 2018; Mohseni et al., 2019) will also apply to SNNs. Similarly, neuromorphic hardware will have to fulfill the same standards as any automotive electronic system: adhere to temperature ranges, be resistant to vibrations, be deterministic and redundant, or contain self-monitoring. For that reason, only digital neuromorphic systems are candidates for integration in cars, while the use of analog or mixed-signal neuromorphic hardware seems out of scope at the moment due to their intrinsic variability. Hence, we suggest to focus on advanced digital systems such as SpiNNaker2 (Yan et al., 2021) or Loihi2 (Orchard et al., 2021) to further explore neuromorphic hardware for automotive radar processing and automated driving in general."

Just a recent update to Intel Loihi for those interested

Intel’s neurochips could one day end up in PCs or a cloud service​

The brain-like chip technology could aid with low-power AI tasks like speech recognition​

Dylan MartinFri 15 Apr 2022 // 16:30 UTC


In a recent roundtable with journalists, Intel Labs lead Rich Uhlig offered two possibilities: integrating Loihi in a CPU for PCs to perform energy-efficient AI tasks and potentially offering the its neuromorphic chips as a cloud service, although Uhlig was clear he wasn't firming actual product plans, just projecting what could theoretically happen in the future.

"Right now with Loihi, we're at that point where we think we're onto something, but we don't actually have product plans yet. We're sort of earlier on in that work stream," he said last month.

Haha, Yeah read that waffle as well
Mr Uhlig couldn’t possibly be any vaguer if he tried.
If I was hanging on breakthrough news on Intel Lohi, then I’d probably be banging my head against the nearest wall

 

[Fact Finder]

Our CEO has, on more than one occasion, redirected questions from investors as to when BRN will be financially independent through the NDA and EAP deals completed to date.

His comments relate to not being able to share the names (household or other) of companies BRN are in discussion, testing and assisting because of these customers having a need to maintain anonymity.
Companies need first mover advantage and prevent their competition from knowing what they are focus in on, blah blah blah!.
BRN also need to maintain this silence to secure future relationships and solidify current partnerships.

To this end Sean tries to appease Investors by redirecting them to "look to the financials to get a gauge on the uptake from business"
He, in the last interview, added this as to when "We are building up to having 100 employees this year, our model will ensure revenue will outgrow expense rapidly soon after that so we will be cash flow positive/breakeven then?
The later bold txt was my interpretation, please correct the exact wording if you recall it better than I.

I have been thinking which financial statement will be the first to record a jump in revenue signifying uptake from business?
Could the next 4C be the start of this
I believe at the very least we do know that the 100 employees, as hinted by both Rob and Sean is to be achieved by end of 2022.
Therefore we should, by my interpretation of Sean’s recent addition, be cash positive or break even in 2023.
That’s a lot of revenue to cover wages alone IMO coming next year.

Its early days in relation to the sales and revenue projection graphics offered by BRN in one of the earlies presentations.
Once we get a bit of traction it would be good to have an update so that more meaningful assumptions could be built in

Do the institutions (those requiring to hold shares to supply the OS market or our ASX related investment groups) believe the next 4C may be step one on this phase of insight and therefore are accumulating at these pull back prices?

Accumulation phases suck when you bought higher but should be very comforting for all holders bc they signify a future where higher SPs will be realised.

I really hope the next finacial statement has a bit of a kick in its tail. I like many want to see BRN grapple with the step gradient of the gray wall in the econd graphic.

Hi FK
Something else to consider earlier this year late last year Anil Mankar spoke to the growth in staff numbers and he put a number of either 70 or 80 by end of 2022.

Sean Hehir has now settled on 100 by end of 2022 which is an approximate increase of 30 plus percent on the previously advised numbers. This is a massive increase in a very short period of time.

It is speculation but the up swing in publications referencing Brainchip, the new engagements the 1,000 Eyes have revealed, as well as those revealed by the company and the request by the CEO to look to the financials and his comment about being cash flow positive are very clear indicators of Brainchip meeting it’s communicated timetable of revenue ramping up second half 2022.

Well said - at this stage the integrity of the researchers comes in play. Funding, or desired ongoing interaction with Intel becomes in question. It may be hard to talk about Akida as it would then dominate the direction of the article and they would seriously need to come up with different shortcomings. Ultimately it would become a marketing document for Akida. So they just ignore it.

This is their reputation and they need to stand behind their article. Perhaps like others questioned they will simply say the paper was not meant to be extensive to the whole landscape. Otherwise could also have been funded by Shareman.

Always a good sign when we get picked up by an Institution such as Macquarie. In my experience this is the first of what could be ongoing coverage. No recommendation yet. It will come though once they get a feel for the company and form a stronger bond.

Just curious, when is the 4c expected? End of this week or next?

Before the end of the month I believe? So before the 29th which would be the end of next week

Just looking of the depth of sellers in the market at the moment and it is incredibly low.

The SP seems to be rising. Do you think that the above may have anything to do with it?

Hmm. Where have all the sellers gone?

Thank you for that. It was a good refresh of all that has happened and what possibly is to come. Seemed to be a very well balanced, thorough report. I read it as leaning towards a buy.....but no official recommendation....yet.

Mercedes to unveil its first all electric 'EQS SUV' today; here's what we know - BusinessToday

Mercedes has promised a high-tech interior in its upcoming car and said that the EQS SUV could cover up to 600km on a single charge.

I have been pondering that for the last hour.

If he held BRN shares I don’t think it makes sense particularly not on the BRN thread.

If he is wearing his DELL hat that is not the way to win friends and get future contracts.

It is very unusual in my opinion. Maybe he is just a goose and is a die hard Mercedes Benz fan???

Any ideas???

Well even intelligent smart Professionals make mistakes and can become "emotional' and make foolish statements , much like us more common plebs.

A case to point is that of a certain " plastic surgeon" from Brisvegas who would fly home to central QLD every weekend (in his private jet) after work. He apparently was a anti-vaxxer and the AMA disapproved of this and suspended his medical licence.
Understandably he was rather emotional at having lost his income & probably his career he replied to "someone" in an email/text that if thats the case (suspended) then he might as well fly his (very nice) Cessna Mustang private jet into a bunch of Politicians crowded around in a room in Canberra! (got the drift?)

Well it apparently only took several hours before some anti-terrorist types along with AFP turned up at his mansion with the parked Cessna Jet outside and impounded it, not to be touched or moved!

End result is a big mess for an emotional outburst anybody could make, probably lost his PPL and aircraft($3 Mil +) and undoubtedly a negative against any further medical practition in the future.

Only "silver cloud" to be seen is he would have the {assets} Funds (if not frozen/seized) to launch a legal challenge to clear his name!

To "add" to this story.............as part of my own PPL Medical the CASA dept looks at my facebook, forums(such as here) and any emails they can access.

So..........be careful what you say anywhere and at any time! lol. "They" truly are watching it would seem.

I could be cruel and say on a budget airline to Bali for Easter and they are too drunk to read the screen on their cell phones and panic sell.

Hi FK
Apologise for the errors in this post which I have now corrected. We were baby sitting and I replied on my phone which has been doing some strange things last couple of days.(probably my fault) Now on the PC and saw the mistakes. FF

Was flicking back through some earlier BRN Anns...well...some old old ones.

One for the 2019 Mar Qtr that LTH's probs know all about but was looking at some of the following at that time:

Some names I'm aware of, some I hadn't looked at but maybe others can expand on, recall or maybe worth a revisit to some?
