So the RTX news is not worthy of an ASX announcement even though the signing of a subcontractor was a necessary requirement. From Appendix 4C & Quarterly Activities Report for the Period Ended 31 December 2024

"BrainChip is currently in negotiations with a major defence industry contractor, to enter into a sub-
contractor agreement for the completion of the contract award."

WTF
I think its pretty clear that SH and the board want as little to do with the ASX as humanly possible. Never mind that BRN is, in fact, an Australian company..................:rolleyes:

A random thought just made its way through the fog. What if the redomiciling proposal is because RTX wants a wider defence/aerospace partnership but needs BRN to be a US company?

Sadly the board also don't seem to want to support the SP during this call on LDA. Going to be lucky to raise $9M at this rate.
Oh well, just keep issuing more shares I guess.

This is how Sean will sell it to sh. If we are not US listed we won't get any grants etc. We'll look into dual listing's Sean

Neuromorphic computing: the future of AI​


Kyle Dickman Science Writer

Neuromorphic computing, the next generation of AI, will be smaller, faster, and more efficient than the human brain.​

March 31, 2025

Artificial intelligence loves electricity. By one estimate, the cost to power the world’s large language models (LLMs) will surpass the gross domestic product of the United States by 2027. That’s an estimated annual electricity bill of 25 trillion dollars, and while that’s probably an overestimate, the point is: current AI is an energy hog. To counter this, researchers at Los Alamos and across the Department of Energy (DOE) are trying to develop AI that can operate on just 20 watts—the same amount of electricity that powers two LED lightbulbs for 24 hours and roughly the amount of energy consumed by the human brain each day. If successful, the approach is a pathway to AI that’s scalable and mirrors the adaptability of natural intelligence. “We could make a mosquito-sized drone as smart as a mosquito,” says Garrett Kenyon, a computational neurologist at the Lab who specializes in AI. Kenyon calls this still-experimental idea the next generation of AI.
At the core of this AI evolution is neuromorphic computing, a paradigm inspired by the human brain’s structure and function. Unlike current AI models, which rely on binary supercomputers to process billions or even trillions of parameters, neuromorphic systems use energy-efficient electrical and photonic networks modeled after biological neural networks. In Kenyon’s words, these networks use physical hardware to mimic nature’s most efficient and powerful inference and prediction engine. “Human brains can change based on their interpretation of the world,” says Kenyon. “AI, currently, can’t.”
To illustrate this shortcoming of LLMs, one that Kenyon hopes neuromorphic AI can help solve, he references a group of technological pranksters that recently tricked self-driving cars. They flashed the cars with t-shirts emblazoned with STOP signs. The cars, unable to discern context, responded by stopping, demonstrating the deterministic nature of current AI algorithms. The car’s behavior is a product of feed-forward processing. “I see a STOP sign, therefore I stop.” Neuromorphic computers, like biological networks, are designed to process information through feedback loops and context-driven checks. “I see a STOP sign. But that STOP sign is on a t-shirt. I drive on—cheeky kid.”

“The next wave of AI will be a marriage of physics and neuroscience,” says Kenyon. In September, he helped run the DOE’s 2024 Neuromorphic Computing for Science Workshop to prioritize which projects should receive funding through the 2021CHIPS and Science Act, which allocated 280 billion dollars toward, among other things, reestablishing American dominance in computing. At the conference, neuromorphic computing experts from around the country tackled questions such as: Should scientists start by reverse engineering an insect brain or a mouse brain? Which emerging low-energy microprocessors, like the memristors being developed now at the Lab’s Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies, are future systems most likely to use? Can existing supercomputers be used to better model neuromorphic computers before significant resources are committed to building them?
Neuromorphic Computer Web
This illustration is a conceptual drawing of a neuromorphic computer. Each wafer in the stacks of octagons, about the diameter of a vinyl record, houses a billion synapses. The white strands are fiber optic connections.
Currently, large neuromorphic computers feature just over a billion neurons connected by a bit more than 100 billion synaptic connections. The human brain has 100 trillion synaptic connections. But Kenyon and his collaborators at institutions including the University of Michigan and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory view these relatively small machines as proof that neuromorphic computing can be scaled to brain-level complexity. “Once we’re able to implement the full process of creating these networks in a commercial foundry, we can scale to very large systems quickly,” says Jeff Shainline, a collaborator of Kenyon’s who works at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. In other words, once you’ve fabricated one neuron, it’s not that much harder to fabricate a million. The scientists’ near-term goal is to build out a design for a neuromorphic computer that sits within a two square meter box and houses as many neurons as the human cerebral cortex. Calculations suggest this computer could operate between 250,000–1,000,000 times faster than a biological brain and use just 10 kilowatts of power, a bit more than a home air conditioning unit.
Kenyon believes this work is laying a path toward an advanced version of neuromorphic AI, one that consumes far less energy than current AI and behaves much more like the intelligence that’s trying to design it.

People also ask​

  • What is neuromorphic computing? A nascent and promising branch of computing, neuromorphic computing aims to mimic the structure and function of the human brain. Powered by highly efficient artificial synapses and neurons, like the roughly virus-sized memristor circuits developed at the Los Alamos-based Center for Integrated Nanotechnology, a neuromorphic approach could deliver a future where computers consume as much energy as the human brain—and are every bit as powerful.
  • How does neuromorphic computing work? Neuromorphic computers are based on the biology of the brain, which in humans is packed with 100 billion neurons. Though the most advanced computers are still just a fraction of the human brain’s complexity, they work in a similar way, with timed electrical signals used to process information in networks of artificial neurons.

The sheer size of the US market, outshines any other markets.

The fact that we have had these 2 recent US military developmental partnerships, strengthened with ISL and now with Raytheon, with Trump's America First policies, is effing huge!

America has it's own neuromorphic offerings and although obviously not yet commercial, that can easily be changed, especially with a leg up, for a struggling Intel.

But they've said...
"Nope, we need these Aussie guys, AKIDA thing."

The implications of us being chosen, over a home grown solution, for US military "now" should be a huge boost in the confidence of shareholders, for what is to come.

Very very likely.

The Orange guy wants US companies first at all costs.

Before, the world was divided into roughly 2 groups regarding military hardware: NATO countries buys mostly F16 and F35's. The iron curtain buys MIG's.

Anyone who can build ships builds them, except submarines that's very specialized, and I saw that you Australians wants US subs!

No doubt, BRN have to move to a US exchange at some point, it's just the biggest market and our IP can be sold all over the world if allowed by the Orange man so China and Russia are maybe out? The Chinese have no respect of IP rights anyway, so if they can reverse engineer Akida I am afraid they will do it, but I read that it will be very difficult?

A US exchange will give the company much more exposure to a much bigger audience, WW.

My post is sort of echoing DingoBorat's I can see.

The subcontractor referred to in the AFRL contract was so obviously going to be Raytheon/RTX… 😊

Do we all recall hearing at the last AGM…if we win one big deal, it could make us profitable overnight?
It has recently been suggested that ASX disclosure rules could prevent this deal from ever happening…that direct feedback from organisations is that they will not do business with Brainchip because of the ASX disclosure rules...that they do not want to be forced into revealing financial, product use or anything about their relationship with Brainchip, that they wish to remain secret.
I am told that this is the principal reason for listing in the US.
As FF tells us DYOR…well Fact, I have.
If one looks at the ASX disclosure rules, they allow companies to maintain total confidentiality if they follow rule 3.1A (see below). During discussions with the ASX, I have been told…’follow these rules and you don’t have to disclose’.
Now this might exasperate shareholders, myself included, but if a customer wants their relationship with Brainchip kept confidential, it is up to both companies to say nothing.
Ford agreed to make an ASX announcement (see below) so long as it didn’t reveal their name...but because of the speculation surrounding it, the ASX required the name of the Tier-one automotive manufacturer to be released. This upset Ford, and perhaps led to them not continuing with their evaluation.
THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT NEVER HAD TO BE MADE.
If Ford didn’t want to be identified, then as keen as Brainchip might have been at the time, the announcement should never have occurred.
The same applies to all organisations Brainchip has or will have an association with…if they demand confidentiality, then ASX rule 3.1A allows it. Customers can be told with absolute certainty…if you demand confidentiality, then we both have to remain mute about our relationship.
The risk of breaking confidentiality is no greater here, than in any other environment.
So this issue cannot be used as a reason for moving. If the above pathway is followed, Brainchip will enhance its credibility, it will win the deals, generate revenue, increase its share price, and be able to move to a US listing without causing a major loss in value to its existing shareholders.

I have always hated flow charts!..

But that aside, I'm not sure how what you've posted, would get past the 2nd box, with at least one of the 5 criteria having to be met?..

This is a good point. A dual listing would allow those shareholders who hold shares in self managed super funds to keep hold of their shares rather than being forced to sell at a dismal share price.

It doesn't do anything about the regulatory requirements, of being listed on the ASX in respect to disclosure though, which is one of the larger issues.

I previously strongly favored a dual listing, but it doesn't work, for that important reason.

As expected, even this positive news isn’t moving anything anymore. People just want to see cash. Partnerships don’t interest anyone anymore. And the short sellers have an easy game, as always. 🤷🏻‍♂️
