As the old saying goes, where there is smoke there is probably fire.
I am personally unable to assess Brainchip through the lense of a Tech Person, due to simply not being knowledgeable enough in the Space. It's like another language, hands up the technically challenged?? I have both arms up!!! However, that being said, I can certainly ask myself what all the smoke around Brainchip is? And look through the Lense of a laymans eyes to educate myself on other important fundamentals that I do have some understanding of, like spotting some of the best companies there is collaborating. IMO, it's not only in the expertise of the Brainchip team but in the partnerships and recurring theme of same that makes it look like a good thing to me. The risk v reward scenario here is massive IMO. Large Companies and Corporations from two of the Worlds Leading Technologically Innovative Countries have already signed agreements, namely Japan and The United States of America.
Some Big Tech Names and Space Exploration Leaders clearly saw the early smoke around Brainchip, hence probably why they remain and lead amongst some of the best Tech designers and innovators on the planet. The Vision to further develop the Brainchip Technology into ground breaking new products indicates their foresight and vision for the future. It just highlights to me how serious the Brainchip Technology really is.
One simply CANNOT deny the validity of the Brainchip Technology. I have coupled the below Company names with education from the Brainchip Learn section of their website and of course Fact Finder's incredible depth of knowledge and research shared here on hotcopper, it is simply invaluable to me in balancing my assessment. Mr Tech Laden and all the endless contributions from a massive base of loyal posters and investors here as well. It's simply brilliant collaboration which in turn brings synergy. Thanks to everyone for your contributions to my knowledge I am much wiser and owe you all a shout out.
Brainchips great story also includes pre booked mass production time slots at TSMC via the Socionext partnership. Right in the middle of a global chip production shortage Socionext have used their slot times at TSMC to enable Brainchips Akida to begin much anticipated production and hence broader investigation and application?
Socionext: is a system on a chip company formed in March 2015 from former system LSI businesses of Fujitsu and Panasonic. It currently has about 2,500 employees worldwide and is headquartered in Yokohama, Japan. It is a privately held Company by the Development Bank of Japan, Fujitsu, and Panasonic.

NASA (EAP) Agreement: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is an independent agency of the U.S. federal government responsible for the civilian space program, as well as aeronautics and space research. NASA was established in 1958, succeeding the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. (We all know how involved Elon Musk currently is at NASA, personally I am sure he knows exactly how incredible Akida is, just IMO of course)
The companies above as testified via signed agreements or collaborations with Brainchip are very serious leads relative to the undeniable potential of the Akida Technology. I truly believe Brainchips Akida will one day reach most people on the planet via one device or another, perhaps several?
In the middle of the smoke, there are some massive entities stoking this fire. Great partners of innovation, strength and credibility to realise Akida's potential and deliver it to the people for the good of humanity. This Aussie company is being courted and followed by the best on the planet.
What a great fireside seat this is!!!
Go Brainchip, Go Akida.
IMO DYOR Good luck to ALL Holders.
Ps. I hope all the links work, if not head over to the brainchip website or perhaps a quick search via other engines.
