BRN Discussion Ongoing

[7für7]

Honestly, it’s getting hard to watch.
While other companies are out there signing real deals, winning awards, and showing up in official datasheets, BrainChip is still busy declaring itself a “leader in Edge AI.” Self-proclaimed greatness...

Meanwhile, we’re stuck guessing whether Akida might possibly be hiding somewhere in some secret chip… because apparently, nobody is allowed to just say it outright. That’s our big win? Speculation?

Week by week, the dream that we found an undiscovered diamond is turning into the realization that we’re just holding a shiny rock.

Here’s what we actually need in the coming weeks:
1.Real customers. Signed deals. Not NDAs – contracts.
2.Revenue. You know, money. The thing businesses need.
3.Proof that Akida works outside of PowerPoint slides.
4. ..I leave it to you..

And here’s what we really don’t need any more of:
-Another buzzword-filled presentation for the faithful
-Another “I’m excited” post from an academic on LinkedIn
-Another glowing brain animation that looks cool but pays zero bills

Hope is not a strategy. Neither is pretending everything’s fine.
We’re out of excuses – it’s time to deliver.

I believe this is definitely a good thing, as stated by their CEO "this recognition highlights a broader shift across the industry toward smarter, more sustainable AI."

It shows neuromorphic computing is getting noticed more and more. As neuromorphic computing evolves, there's naturally going to be more competition for Brainchip, which is a healthy sign.

As each company who are involved in neuromorphic computing are competitors, they will be looking to push the boundaries even further to gain that lead and bigger slice, which should hopefully lead to the next stage in the AI revolution and world domination.

yes .... competitor winning award is a good thing ...

Hi SharesForBrekky,

The real concern is that Innatera is now firmly in the spotlight with its neuromorphic product having been awarded “Best in Show.”

From what I can see, BrainChip didn’t even attend COMPUTEX 2025 - which is surprising, given it’s one of the world’s leading technology exhibitions, drawing nearly 1,400 exhibitors and over 86,000 attendees from 152 countries.

In my view, this was a major missed opportunity. Now everyone who attended the event, from media to potential partners, will have taken notice of their achievement.

Agreed, and we even have a Taiwanese employee living there?

Our German guy often present around Europe, so why not this guy in Asia?

Pretty sloppy if you ask me!

I agree it's a missed opportunity as that is one major event. However, unfortunately Brainchip can't be everywhere.

On the other hand, Brainchip also has their ever-growing ecosystem. If there's a number of partners/customers there showing off what they've got using Brainchip's technology, then that's just another angle they can gain exposure.

That's all good S4B, but that needs the said company giving us recognition. Doesn't always pan out that way.

I really want to stay positive on brain chip but
In all honesty so far all I see is window dressing
Which is really nice but we need something solid real coins to flow into the company.

Please please BrainChip get the bath filled, put the plug in and throw in some bubbles

In a company press release, Innatera announced its Pulsar neuromorphic microcontroller earned Best-in-Show in the Microcontrollers, Microprocessors & IP category at COMPUTEX 2025 by Embedded Computing Design. The honor identifies Pulsar’s innovative utilization of Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) to enable real-time, ultra-efficient edge AI.​

“We’re thrilled to receive this award,” says Sumeet Kumar, CEO, Innatera. “It’s a powerful validation, not just of the years of work our team has put into neuromorphic computing, but of the immense potential this technology holds. Pulsar is about making intelligence accessible at the edge, and this recognition highlights a broader shift across the industry toward smarter, more sustainable AI.”

According to Innatera, its Spiking Neural Processor (SNP) Pulsar is the world’s first mass-market neuromorphic microcontroller purpose-built to deliver intelligence directly to the sensor edge. Applying Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs), Pulsar allows real-time, ultra-low-power AI processing within compact form factors, nullifying the need for cloud connectivity.

It combines neuromorphic processing, a RISC-V core, and accelerators for CNN and signal processing ideal for wearables, smart sensors, and edge systems.

“Pulsar from Innatera impressed our board of judges with its focus on bringing intelligence to the edge, reducing latency, improving power efficiency, and enabling real field applications,” says Ken Briodagh, Editor in Chief of Embedded Computing Design. “The Best in Show awards look for innovation and forward-thinking technical engineering, and Pulsar certainly fits the bill with this neuromorphic step forward.”

From over at crapper


I think they are relying upon the fact that they are selling hardware not IP.

Brainchip’s AKIDA Pico is IP not a chip.

The thing is Innatera are using RISC-V and are going it alone into the market.

Brainchip is co partnered for RISC-V with Andes Technology the dominant player with 30% of the RISC-V market. Brainchip is also partnered with SiFive for RISC-V.

As to comparisons of the two technologies:

1. They both offer sub 1 milliwatt performance.

2. Pico however does everything that Innatera does but adds:

a) The ability to run noise cancellation SSM
b) The ability to run intelligent single purpose SSMs for communicating with white goods - human machine interphase
c) Continuous on device learning
d) Ability to be retrained or add additional classes
on device during deployment
e) The ability to add extra nodes if more intelligence is required
f) The ability to add extra memory to meet customer requirements

As to why Brainchip was not at this event they are at events in that region hosted by their partner Andes Technology.

Awards are nice but Brainchip won very significant awards with Studio and Accelerator but they did not ensure commercial product success.

Thank goodness you put "rock" there, I thought you were going to say we were just holding a shiny...

Fair beefs, except this one..

"3.Proof that Akida works outside of PowerPoint slides."

"3.Proof that Akida works outside of PowerPoint slides."

It’s a dramatically exaggerated way of putting it… but I think the message is clear: we finally need something real — something that will turn us into a profitable company.

 

[walderamaa]

Das ist zwar dramatisch übertrieben ausgedrückt, aber ich denke, die Botschaft ist klar: Wir brauchen endlich etwas Reales – etwas, das uns zu einem profitablen Unternehmen macht.

How many more times do you want to write this? Everyone here already knows it. If you’re so stressed about it, I’d suggest selling your stocks and investing in an ETF instead. That way, you can be much more relaxed.

Maybe we’re short of a few $$$ to be able to attend

Going from "We are the first mover and only one" to "Competition is always good".

What's next?
"At least we're not last in the race" or
"Oh well, we gave it a good go didn't we?".

From a paper (survey of other papers as well) just released June 2 by our friends(?) at TCS and Uni Singapore.

Haven't read it all as just found it but looks like a good source of info in one spot for players in the mkt. They all seem to have strengths, weaknesses and their places in the mkt.

The Promise of Spiking Neural Networks for Ubiquitous Computing: A Survey and New Perspectives

Abstract.
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) have emerged as a class of bio‑inspired networks that leverage sparse, event‑driven signaling to achieve low‑power computation while inherently modeling temporal dynamics. Such characteristics align closely with the demands of ubiquitous computing systems, which often operate on resource‑constrained devices while continuously monitoring and processing time‑series sensor data. Despite their unique and promising features, SNNs have received limited attention and remain underexplored (or at least, under-adopted) within the ubiquitous computing community. To address this gap, this paper first introduces the core components of SNNs, both in terms of models and training mechanisms. It then presents a systematic survey of 76 SNN-based studies focused on time-series data analysis, categorizing them into six key application domains. For each domain, we summarize relevant works and subsequent advancements, distill core insights, and highlight key takeaways for researchers and practitioners. To facilitate hands-on experimentation, we also provide a comprehensive review of current software frameworks and neuromorphic hardware platforms, detailing their capabilities and specifications, and then offering tailored recommendations for selecting development tools based on specific application needs. Finally, we identify prevailing challenges within each application domain and propose future research directions that need be explored in ubiquitous community. Our survey highlights the transformative potential of SNNs in enabling energy-efficient ubiquitous sensing across diverse application domains, while also serving as an essential introduction for researchers looking to enter this emerging field.

Clearly you could do a better job, maybe packup here and head over to silicon Valley and tell Sean how clever you are and we're he's going wrong .

Always the same tired response: ‘Just sell and buy an ETF.’ That kind of advice usually comes from those who can’t (or won’t) intellectually process valid criticism. It doesn’t show seriousness – it sounds more like reactive posturing without any meaningful counterarguments. Or maybe it’s just a cry for likes? Ignore
