BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Pom down under]

couldn’t find anything official about it, and AI pointed me to NVIDIA… possibly a hallucination?

If there was anything official I guess we would have heard and im guessing that’s why you can’t find anything

Whats everyones take on Anthony Lewis mentioning the ForwardEdge/Lockheed collaboration stemmed from the work Brainchip was doing with RTX. Does it suggest RTX and Lockheed are working together in some way, or is it more that both companies are separately working with the U.S. Air Force on different products using the same underlying Brainchip tech?

Coming into the cooler months of the year we should see most shorts replace by pants imo

I think this is only fitting, RIP Legend..

Oops I just realised with all my cropping I missed out the best bit, sorry.

This is really interesting Chris.

Orama.AOI. has collaborated with Intel in the past.

So, the CTO of Orama.AOI (AI-enhanced optical inspection systems) has mentioned on LinkedIn that Akida 1000 outperforms Jetson Orin Nano and Orin NX 8GB in the context of an on-drone AI companion computer.

This is a real-world edge AI, on-drone use case, compared against NVIDIA’s go-to edge stack (Jetson family), coming from someone actually building AI inspection systems.

Orama builds AI-enhanced automated optical inspection (AOI) systems used in manufacturing, semiconductor packaging and food inspection. They run AI at the edge, often offline and air-gapped environments.

If Akida is outperforming NVIDIA’s Jetson Orin Nano / NX in a drone-based system, it suggests efficiency gains are translating into practical performance advantages like potential for longer flight time and simpler thermal design and less reliance on heavy compute for continuous inference.

Now if we connect a few other dots:

• BrainChip partnering with ForwardEdge ASIC (custom silicon pathway)
• Increasing mentions of edge deployment (drones, sensors, embedded systems)
• Third-party validation starting to pop up (Kevin Johnson from IBM, Klepsydra, now Orama.AOI)

This is starting to look less like isolated announcements and one-off mentions and more like a stack forming around Akida.

IMO. DYOR.

Great find what I find interesting is this is the first idea of what market prices are if you believe this.

Module cost Akida 1000 $249 with the Pi another $100- now if that is US even better.
This bodes well with lots of debate prior about prices with IP only being quoted $10-$50 previously.
