Yes?
I thought you knew that I knew? I guess you need a fresher in BrainChip?
The Akida Development Environment is a fully simulated Akida device that runs in software. It has all the learning rules, it has all the neuro fabric, but running software.
Over a year and a half later and BrainChip have not been able to generate any significant revenue (and quite possible none at all) off of the Akida Development Environment? Such a shame!

BrainChip Year-End Update 2018 (January 11, 2019)https://www.finnewsnetwork.com.au/archives/finance_news_network211744.html- "I'm going to talk a little bit about how
Akida as a software solution could potentially actually generate revenue for us even before the IC comes out. Let's put that aside for a second. In a data centre arena, you've got big data which is, you know, financial technology, agricultural technology, manufacturing technology. You've got
cyber security for infrastructure and small business. With what we've got out of the three university cyber security which is a native SNM. It's not a standard SNM conversion. What we're excited about is the data to smart converter is proven to take cyber security data and turn it into spikes. Then process those spikes with high accuracy. That could be an opportunity for us to do something like a GPI solution where we
take our software, we put a wrapper around it and we pick a customer or two that really are on the leading edge or dominant players in the cyber security mark and partner with them. I'll touch on that again."
- "I talked about us taking the
Praxis University IP, productising it within the Akida development environment."
BrainChip December 2018 Quarter Update Presentation (February 01, 2019)https://www.finnewsnetwork.com.au/archives/finance_news_network221917.html- "
The Akida development environment is, as we've talked about before, it's a fully simulated Akida device that runs in software. It has all the learning rules, it has all the neuro fabric, but running software."
- "But that
intellectual property sale would carry an immediate licence and an ongoing royalty. This again is one of those areas where
long before we get the chip out, we could be generating revenue on the Akida intellectual property. With the
Akida development environment, we may have an opportunity to take the development environment, put a wrapper around it for specific use cases, whether it's cybersecurity or whether it's, you know, something in the IOT space, but be
able to generate revenue off of the development environment as a custom solution for a very specific use case, or intellectual property for integration into a larger SOC.
These are important transactions, again, because they could generate revenue from Akida in advance of actually releasing the neuromorphic system on a chip."
