This October newsletter highlights major product, partnership, and industry developments at BrainChip. The issue announces the launch of the AKD1500, a next-generation ultra-efficient edge AI processor designed to deliver higher performance while keeping power consumption extremely low. BrainChip also revealed a collaboration with SRS Provenance to advance AI-driven animal tracking and habitat monitoring, as well as new LiDAR intelligence capabilities through its partnership with PreAct, extending Akida’s reach into autonomous systems and smart sensing. Additional updates include BrainChip’s appearance at the Semicon Europa and RISC-V events, where the team demonstrated Akida’s real-time processing in robotics, inspection, and automotive applications.

The newsletter features several media highlights, including a podcast episode where CEO Sean Hehir discusses the AKD1500 and the company’s roadmap, and interviews previewing BrainChip’s neuromorphic approach to safety and mission-critical AI. Coverage from EE Journal and Semiconductor Australia further emphasized the momentum behind Akida’s cloud and edge deployments. Looking ahead, BrainChip announced upcoming participation in the Edge AI Foundation Conference and the GSA International Summit 2025, continuing to position the company as a leader in efficient, scalable edge intelligence.
