TESLA will become a robot company, page-9

If the market got wind of a TO bid for BRN - that would be further validation of the tech and would drive the price up hard.

How much would TESLA or NVDIA be prepared to pay for a company that they could secure a license arrangement for AKD1000 for ~ $1,000,0000 and then have a fixed price license fee for each Akida chip they deploy in their products?

If a single company with a clearly defined scope of use for Akida took over BRN, anything outside that scope would be quashed. It's better to allow Akida to become cheap and ubiquitous - that's how industry standards get defined. It's in everyone's interest that this happens. Interoperability of edge AI platforms is crucial to its success.
