Yes we all expect more contracts and/or visible evidence of solid commitments & I believe that once Akida Gen 2 is launched officially, there should be some VISIBLE signs of at least 1 or 2 clients who will be utilising the chip.

The release/launch of a Generation 2 chip should be full of fanfare and I am expecting management to clearly update ASX as per a price sensitive announcement. This is a huge deal and I'll be watching to see if management steps up the communication and PR when AKD2.0 is released.
The market has been harsh to the SP so far but let's really hope for a surprise by the start of September I am keeping the faith for something more substantial even a new IP contract soon (hope by next Friday) I have sent a letter to Tony to get more insight and will share my findings when I get a response. Good luck to all.

Neuromorphic computing: Why there is a need for it
"Artificial Intelligence (AI) needs new hardware, not just new algorithms. We’re at a turning point, where Moore’s law is reaching its end leading to a stagnation of the performance of our computers. Nowadays, we are generating more and more data that needs to be stored and classified," said
Professor Dmitri Strukov, an electrical engineer at the University of California at Santa Barbara in an
interview with Nature Communications about the opportunities and challenges in developing brain-inspired technologies, namely neuromorphic computing, when asked why we need neuromorphic computing.
Dmitri Strukov goes on telling Nature Communications how the recent progresses in AI allow automating this process, with data centers multiplying at a cost of consuming an exponentially increasing amount of electricity, which is a potential problem for our environment. "This energy consumption mainly comes from data traffic between memory and processing units that are separated in computers," said Strukov.
"It wastes electrical energy and it considerably slows down computational speed. Recent developments in nanotechnology offer the possibility to bring huge amounts of memory close to processing, or even better, to integrate this memory directly in the processing unit, said Dmitri Strukov.
According to Strukov, the idea of neuromorphic computing is to take inspiration of the brain for designing computer chips that merge memory and processing. In the brain, synapses provide a direct memory access to the neurons that process information. That is how the brain achieves impressive computational power and speed with very little power consumption. By imitating this architecture, neuromorphic computing provides a path to building smart neuromorphic chips that consume very little energy and, meanwhile, compute fast.
