Revealing successful BrainChip Akida cases at AI Hills Conference!

Last month, within this incredible event, I had a chance to share insights on using neuromorphic chips and autonomous systems with fellow professionals.

I of course focused on Akida AKD1000 neuromorphic chips performance in IoT-related tasks, showcasing real-life examples of their application.

Connecting with industry experts afterwards was truly inspiring. That day I've had a lot of discussion about neuromorphic chips potential in making autonomous systems like drones and robots more efficient.

They can become the go-to for real-time AI processing with lower power consumption.

A big thank you to AI Hills for organizing such an insightful event. It was a valuable experience, and I left feeling even more motivated to explore the possibilities of AI.

Building on the points above, it seems like quite the "coincidence" that Arm has just announced its new ArmV9 edge AI platform—featuring the Cortex A320—in Korea.

Meanwhile, BrainChip just happened to post a job listing for a Regional Sales Manager in… you guessed it—Korea!

Chip architecture giant Arm announced its latest platform for edge artificial intelligence (AI) for Internet of Things (IoT) devices in Korea on Thursday, expressing hopes that the new solution will empower various AI-powered IT devices and home appliances developed by client companies here.

During a press conference in Seoul, Arm Korea President Hwang Seon-wook revealed the Armv9 Edge AI platform, which includes the Cortex-A320 CPU and the Ethos-U85 neural processing unit designs and related architecture and software tools to help developers produce their chips and other solutions.

Edge AI refers to processing AI tasks directly on devices such as smartphones, autonomous vehicles, home appliances and sensors without relying on remote servers. The importance of Edge AI is growing as more IoT devices are powered by AI, and the increasing workloads for AI in the cloud are pushing such devices to handle AI tasks locally.
“In the areas of smart homes, smart cities and industrial automation, the importance of edge AI has grown, and device makers are expecting Arm to drive the entire ecosystem,” Hwang said. “To meet industry expectations and maximize Edge AI, the new Armv9 platform will be introduced.”
According to Arm, the Armv9 platform delivers an eight-fold improvement in machine learning performance compared to the Cortex-M85-based platform the company launched last year. The new platform comes with the latest Cortex-A320 CPU design, which is specifically optimized for IoT applications due to its power efficiency.
The Cortex-A320 takes advantage of Armv9 architectural features to deliver a 10-fold improvement in machine learning performance and a 30 percent scalar performance uplift compared to its predecessor, the Cortex-A35.
Arm said the Cortex-A320 CPU completes the company's CPU portfolio, which spans from ultra-efficient models for IoT devices to performance-oriented ones for servers, offering a wide range of options for partner companies.
Hwang said he expects client companies will begin making physical chips using Cortex-A320 from 2026, but they will not likely require the most advanced fabrication processes such as 2 nanometers. Also, a number of clients are now evaluating the Cortex-A320 and the Ethos-U85 designs, with possible applications for various appliances and chips.

Regarding questions about Arm's plan for a license fee hike, Hwang said he is not in a position to answer but added that Arm aims to support the success of its Korean partner companies.
“We have many customers in Korea using our Arm solutions — the proportion of users in Korea is probably the highest in the world. Startups are building and validating their solutions and products on this foundation, developing competitive products, and using that as a stepping stone to enter the global market,” Hwang said. “Our goal is to ensure the success of our partners.”
In January, Reuters reported that Arm is developing a long-term strategy to hike prices by as much as 300 percent, potentially affecting chips and smartphone makers, including Samsung Electronics.

Thanks Bravo, as we know ARM's Core is a traditional system and not neuromorphic. Any neuromorphic 'Edge AI' has to be imported from a 3rd party.
It is possible that it has incorporated AKIDA.
We know AKIDA works with ARM M processors. It's possible that AKIDA under NDA is incorporated in the A series.
Lets hope so. If ARM wants 'real' AI at the Edge' as a supplement to its traditional Core then why not go for the best?
As far as AI at the Edge goes AKIDA is the proven out performer.
It looks like the choice of Defence, space and cybersecurity is with AKIDA simply because it makes the products of others better.
In the end i guess it depends on what the ARM chip is designed to be used for - 'mickey mouse' AI may all that is needed if its simple stuff.

You want to play in the "big leagues" you have to be up to the task.



The market influencers here are nothing compared to the sharks over there..
There's a real chance of us being swallowed whole, without pretty much immediate market penetration and success.

If there are substantial tangible deals or benefits, waiting in the sidelines, the Company had better find a way to communicate them, because on our current hit rate, we will be easy prey.

You have to have a laugh at all the shock horror by many posters concerning the intended US listing.
We at TSE all know and knew that BRN was and is a US based business with a primary US and international focussed sales and marketing focus.
The US is where the $$ are.
Defense interest and their intention to move away from traditional AI solutions made it the right time to US list.

Hi yogi,

The NYSE has a minimum share price and income requirement. I've seen values between $4US and $6US quoted, so say $5US for rgument sake. So there needs to be an adjustment of the number of BRN shares to equate to the required share price. If we assume ASX is valued at $1US at the time of rehoming, that would require a "consolidation" of BRN shares by a factor of at least 5 to get the BRNUS share price above the $5US threshold, so we'll use 5 for simplicity. So if you had 100 BRNAu shares, that would be 20 BRNUS shares.

The adjustment to US dollars does not affect the calculation of the proportion of shares you own, because it cancels out of the equation, applying to the numerator and divisor.

The point to note is that this consolidation is applied to all BRNAu shares, so, if there were 200,000,000 BRNAu shares on issue, that would be consolidated (divided by 5) to 40,000,000 BRNUS shares. This means you still own the same proportion of the company in BRNUS shares (20/40,000,000 = 1/2,000,000) as you did in BRNAu shares (100/200,000,000 = 1/2,000,0000).

I agree with what you've written, however this means my 100 shares if left on the Asx and the go to say $5 are now worth $500 if we go to the US, to get to $500 brn would need to get to roughly$20 US. am I close?

Google DeepMind hires Rain AI engineer for growing "AI hardware design" team​

Neuromorphic computing expert leaves Altman-backed startup for Google's AI lab
February 28, 2025 By Sebastian Moss Have your say
FacebookTwitterLinkedInRedditEmailShare

Google DeepMind has hired a former Rain AI engineer with a background in neuromorphic computing for an AI hardware team.
Maxence Ernoult spent just over two years at Rain AI, a Sam Altman-backed neuromorphic chip startup that has a letter of intent from OpenAI. The hire has not been previously reported.

17 Jan 2019

The creation of the electronic brain​

DCD reports on the epic decades-long quest to make computers more like the human brain

Prior to his time working on in-memory computing at Rain, Ernoult worked at IBM and studied neuromorphic computing at Sorbonne Université.
Neuromorphic computing aims to mimic how the brain works, by using hardware and software that simulate the neural and synaptic structures and functions of the brain.
"Absolutely thrilled to announce that I'm starting next week as a senior research engineer at Google DeepMind in Albert Cohen's team dedicated to AI hardware design," Ernoult said in a LinkedIn post.
Cohen is a research scientist at Google DeepMind who in 2020 published research on Computing-In-Memory (CIM) architectures. "Memristor-based, non-von-Neumann architectures performing tensor operations directly in memory are a promising approach to address the ever-increasing demand for energy-efficient, high-throughput hardware accelerators for Machine Learning (ML) inference," the abstract states.
Across Google DeepMind, a number of researchers appear to be working on AI chips, under director Olivier Temam, who says that he is building the "hardware infrastructure for AGI." Temam previously co-led Google's Cloud Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) project for a year and created a TPU project for embedded and low-power applications.
TPUs are Google's broader AI chip family, used to train Gemini and available on its cloud service.
Temam is also part of DeepMind's AlphaChip effort, which aims to use AI to help design chip layouts. The company claims that it has used AlphaChip in the design of TPUs since 2020, as well as for its Axion Arm chips and other processors.
"We believe AlphaChip has the potential to optimize every stage of the chip design cycle, from computer architecture to manufacturing — and to transform chip design for custom hardware found in everyday devices such as smartphones, medical equipment, agricultural sensors, and more," Google said last year.
A job listing for a DeepMind chip design research engineer says that the company aims to "solve some of the most complex tasks in Chip Design (RTL generation, RTL verification, Logic Synthesis, Physical Design, PPA prediction." It adds: "As part of our team at Google DeepMind, you'll have opportunities to advance AI for Chip Design to enable breakthrough capabilities and pioneer next-generation products."
Whether the company is looking at neuromorphic hardware is unclear. This January, Google DeepMind researcher Cliff Young was a co-author on a Nature paper that laid out a roadmap to neuromorphic computing competing at scale with conventional approaches. Young was critical to the development of the TPU, and also designed much of D. E. Shaw Research's seminal Anton supercomputer.
Also pointing to DeepMind's interest in neuromorphic research is Yale Professor Priyadarshini Panda, a highly respected neuromorphic computing figure who leads the university's Intelligent Computing Lab. Prof. Panda became a visiting scholar to Google DeepMind last April.
Google DeepMind declined to comment on whether this hardware project is related to AlphaChip, TPUs, neuromorphic computing, or is a new initiative.

Hey @The Pope what will have to other super Like Host plus?

Hi yogi,

Rather than ask the question just reach out to your super fund to ease your mind.
My experience it was a quick phone call last night to Australian super as I could not believe someone would be available until 8pm on a Friday night to answer questions like I asked.
Surely the large retail super funds who have direct invest option would be similiar to Australian super but just call them and be very specific on the question you are asking. Don’t just say if a company delists on the ASX without adding as well that company is proposing to transfer to a US stock exchange and they will be allowing shareholders to hold their shares as part of the process etc. Refer to what BRN BOD advised in the announcement the other day.

Hope this helps

Cheers

Love the idea of a 5/1 split but if the SP stays at 20c and we still need $4US then its a 30/1 split or even worse if it keeps going down.
Lets hope it dosent get to that or they have some news.
Good luck all.
