Hopefully this means BrainChip is confident enough in AKD1500 revenue outlook to invest in 2500

Well done team. 12 nanometers of ADK2000. Impressive.
Hi Doz, reading the agreement and the further info ann it is actually very good that Megachips did not renew the license.
It means that Megachips have completed the design and manufacture for external clients products.
Acumino began robot demonstrations in September 2025 so for that to happen the chip had to have been available. The license expired in Nov'25.
Megachips have set aside an area on their premises for demonstrations.
One of the main reasons Megachips stated for taking out the licence was the 'on 'chip learning'.
The expiration of the license will not effect royalty obligations but if for example they wanted GEN 2 they would likely need a fresh licence.
As discussed its a fair bet they are using AKIDA TECH and they can market the product under their own chosen name.
For competitive reasons they may chose not to mention neuromorphic, Brainchip of AKIDA.
They may well be selling robots by before or by the end of the year.
Acumino provide the software and Megachips the hardware.
As you mentioned both the Magachips agreement with Brainchip and the Acumino agreement with Megachips are for Japan.
IMO it really is adding up to be a Megachips 'AKIDA' in those robots.

Strategic Partnership with MegaChips (01/2025)
We have announced the signing of an investment and exclusive distribution agreement for the Japanese market with MegaChips Corporation, a prominent Japanese semiconductor firm. This agreement marks a significant milestone in Acumino’s mission to advance AI-driven dexterous robotics. The company’s technology enables robots to achieve unparalleled dexterity and return on investment (ROI) in performing tasks that were previously considered impossible to automate.Through this partnership, Acumino and MegaChips will collaborate to develop and deploy next-generation AI-powered robotic workers in Japan, addressing critical labor shortages. These robotic workers will help bridge labor and skill gaps by improving productivity in a fast, scalable, reliable, and cost-efficient manner.
MegaChips Corporation, founded in 1990, specializes in the design, development, and manufacturing of integrated circuits (ICs). The company is known for its expertise in creating custom ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits) and System-on-Chip (SoC) solutions for industries such as consumer electronics, automotive, industrial, and telecommunications. MegaChips provides advanced semiconductor solutions to global clients, with applications in image-processing technology, image sensors, data transmission, and high-performance computing. In recent years, MegaChips has expanded its focus to include 5G communication, AI, and the Internet of Things (IoT), catering to the growing demand for cutting-edge technology.
Tetsuo Hikawa, President and CEO of MegaChips, said:
“Acumino’s technology, with its hardware-agnostic and scalable AI system, enhances production technologies and addresses the challenges many companies face in manufacturing site. By forming a partnership with Acumino, who has unparalleled technology, we expect this collaboration to significantly contribute to the expansion of MegaChips’ new business ventures in the future.”

Same. I have been adding more and more as well taking advantage of the good price!
IMO .... I think this announcement is an admission that we have lost the last 4 years on the CEO's " IP " pathway rather than originally staying with the " Chip " commercialisation route all along.Some people never happy!!
We have been asking for some ASX correspondence/Announcements and finally we do!!
This is great news moving forwards .....
No $$$$$ attached the only negative!
Will this be the start of using the ASX more often?? Let's hope so
They’ve clearly figured out we’re easy prey for shorts. Word has gotten around in their little scene:
“Hey, if you want quick money, short BrainChip ..there’s always something to squeeze out of it, because uncertainty is high and revenues are still basically zero.”
And then people say “the market has spoken”… which market? The market isn’t what it used to be. Thanks to the internet …and the fact that literally anyone can trade by just clicking red or green .. perception has drifted miles away from real potential. I mean, some of these people can’t even tell the difference between buying and selling without a color code:
“Oh no… what does buy mean? Do I have to pay for that? Or should I sell? But I don’t own anything… how can I sell? Am I going negative now?”
And that’s exactly why, for people like me who just want to grow money in a healthy way, this whole circus has become unbearable.
Back in the day, a company like this .. with this kind of potential … would already be sitting sustainably at $0.50–$0.80. But fine. Keep playing your games until it hits you cold… and we rip higher out of nowhere.
I’m really looking forward to that day.

From the Front Grade Gaisler presentation
I don't think there is any doubt Akida is in the GR801
Hence why Alf Kuchenbuch was invited to present at the FG 25 year celebratory conference, he offered this slide linking Brainchip with Airbus and ESA.
Are these Front Grade customers using the newly offered GR801 card to achieve these three features/ functions?
Now which of Bascom Hunter customers are using the newly offered 3U VPX SNAP Card that we also feature?
Where is our first company making license going to spring from?

Not entirely correct!
The 2500 chip is for other companies testing their own prototypes of whatever they are doing or just evaluate the chip stand alone, not bulk production. It's a test/evaluation chip as I understand it.
If they are happy with the result they can then buy an IP and have AKD2 implemented into their own design.
Akida 2 was first ready for silicon last year, I believe.
We have not lost 4 years man, that's a typical "cxxxxx" downramper statement. I can imagine they are really having a field day over there today?
In my parts of the world, I just woke up and have a cup of tea and will NOT visit the cxxxxx while waking up, LOL, that's just too depressing man!

So if we have 2000 and 2500 and in the making 3000 surely customers are engaged with products with huge upside of potential

I have recently sent a query to IR Brainchip re this. I may be a little slow on the uptake but my view is if there was a need to have a trading halt and price sensitive announcement to release the deal With Megachips the same applies if it has fallen over ie they must advise the market. By not renewing means Megachips cannot put IP into their products if they want to sell a chip. Acumino- may buy an IP deal but then they become the holder of the IP and Megachip cant charge for it. Therefore in my mind we need a ASX release saying what has occurred to the IP deal (good bad or otherwise) and if Mega chip is selling our IP through their products then the obvious ASX release will be a price sensitive announcement saying they have resigned for another 4yrs at $1m dollars. And before people say there are some exceptions to AsX release due to confidential or product security, yes agree for the product but the renewal of or the expiry of the original licence did not utilise that release of obligation thus it makes sense that its renewal or expiry has no confidentiality issues. Now is Acumino have bought our IP that should be a stand alone ASX release.
Again these are my thoughts with limited experience in this field but based on a practical legal approach. Happy for the collect thoughts in the crowd to inform this discussion.
Not many are posters are aware that Megachips collaborated with the Nara Institute of Science and Technology for work on Robotiics. Looked closely at SNNs.Hi Doz, reading the agreement and the further info ann it is actually very good that Megachips did not renew the license.

Megachip read the expected huge Japanese worker shortage years ago. Hence the Acumino deal where Megachips supply the hardware chips.
I expect they will be selling robots later this year.
