Has it been historically possible for a share price to go from 20 cent to $ 8.00 in one year
?.

interesting question... well Qualcomm was $3.99 in Jan 1999 and went to $75.50 in January 2020 so if you /that by 10 .39 to $7.50 its not undoable.... lol also this is usdHas it been historically possible for a share price to go from 20 cent to $ 8.00 in one year?.
AI OverviewHas it been historically possible for a share price to go from 20 cent to $ 8.00 in one year?.

Extremely interesting comment by Alf Kuchenbuch in response to a post by STEMIX.TECH, a newly-founded Romanian ādeep-tech and innovation-focused company specializing in AI-centric hardware and software productsā that has plans to launch an AI-powered kidsā toy.

They seem to have been in contact for a while, given the reply by STEMIX.TECH?!
Of course, as a start-up founded in 2024, they are not in our target group of companies that would be able to afford signing an IP license with us.
But their vision of ābecoming a leading provider of LLM edge devicesā sounds as if Akida 2.0 would be a much better fit than any AKD1000/1500 chips?
So is this possibly a case of a collaboration involving a potential software license of TENNs only?! After all, you donāt necessarily need Akida for running TENNs!

Until February, both STEMIX.TECH co-founders Alf Kuchenbuch addressed in his comment used to be with CyberSwarm, another AI start-up from Romania that has previously been discussed here on TSE. One as Project Manager, the other one as CTO. So both of them are already familiar with neuromorphic technology, although CyberSwarm uses analog architecture rather than digital.

So STEMIX.TECHās AI toy will definitely have a connection to the cloud, as āparents can access a web portal to view all questions, answers, and interactions their child has with the toy.ā
Some parents will like this idea, but I personally think it opens up a can of privacy and data protection issues.

Nvidia unlocks CUDA for RISC-V processors, opening up its AI ecosystem
Nvidia's latest step in expanding its AI empire

Nvidia unlocks CUDA for RISC-V processors, opening up its AI ecosystem
Nvidia has officially ported its Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) to RISC-V, a move announced at a recent RISC-V summit in China. According to Nvidia's Frans Sijstermans,...www.techspot.com
This should help to accelerate RISC-V's momentum.
Not sure, but hopefully it also opens up the opportunity for hyrbid systems combining RISCāV host, Akida inference cores, and CUDA-capable GPUs for tiered AI tasks?....
NVIDIA plans to use SiFiveās HiFive Premier P550 RISCāV SoC during early CUDA porting. BrainChip's ecosystem includes RISCāV partner SiFive in joint IP licensing contexts. Akida neuromorphic IP is already RISCāV compatible.
As NVIDIA moves deeper into RISCāV + CUDA for embedded AI, you would think it should open up partnership interest in complementary technologies that fill gaps. For example, CUDA canāt run efficiently at the milliwatt, always-on edge like Akida can. CUDA canāt do event-driven spiking inference natively but Akida is built for this.

Just over a year ago, I spotted an intriguing comment by Alf Kuchenbuch under a STEMIX.TECH LinkedIn post. The founders of this Romanian startup āspecializing in AI-centric hardware and software productsā had previously worked for CyberSwarm, a neuromorphic startup with roots and an R&D centre in Romania as well, but headquartered in San Mateo, CA.

While we never heard anything concrete with regards to an actual collaboration between BrainChip and STEMIX.TECH in the ensuing months, I did notice a number of LinkedIn ālikesā being exchanged, including this recent one: Their CTO IonuČ Moldovanu gave Alf Kuchenbuchās Edge AI Milan 2025 post a, in which our VP of Sales, EMEA had mentioned āvalidating our approach with Akida2 with TENNs, which we will start rolling out for evaluation in summer 2025ā:

So it appears our companies are still interested in each other, if not already secretly an item.
Although the AI toy project sounded pretty advanced in development at the time (āWeāre about to launchā¦ā), STEMIX.TECH never again referred to it on LinkedIn.
Is the Bucharest-based startup still working on it in secrecy?
Or have they meanwhile shelved that project, which would actually be somewhat surprising, given what their CTO stated in this video uploaded to YouTube on 17 June 2024, less than a month before Alf Kuchenbuch made the above comment, whose content suggested they had already been in contact for some time.
āSTEMIX.TECH D1 demo video - Voice AI development kit - Use the full power of LLM with our low power development boardā:
From 3 min onwards, IonuČ Moldovanu says āBasically you could run a lot of other apps, like voice-to-voice - weāre gonna do a demo with that one as well. You could also tie sensors to it, so the generation could be made accordingly to what the sensors see, sensor values [?]. You can embed it in wearables, you can embed it in industrial equipment, in toys. Actually toys are one of our best choices right now for integrating this device, because smart toys with connections to LLM could be really interactive and engaging for users.ā
I pointed out at the time that the envisaged smart toy appeared to be conceptualised as cloud-based, which made me wonder how our company would fit into this, since we keep on spruiking the benefits of privacy and security thanks to on-device processing without having to send data to and from the cloud. Remember, weāre talking about an electronic childrenās toy here, where data protection should be of paramount importance!
Also, our potential partner was a yet unknown Romanian startup. It seemed implausible that they would have the budget to take out a regular IP license with us, although our business model had evolved into just that - IP licensing... Thatās why I wrote at the time: āSo is this possibly a case of a collaboration involving a potential software license of TENNs only?! After all, you donāt necessarily need Akida for running TENNs!ā
Fast forward a year and see our BrainChip team buzzing with excitement about Akida GenAI and LLMs on the Edge. This made me revisit that July 2024 STEMIX.TECH post and speculate whether the reason why the smart toy hasnāt yet been launched may possibly have to do with our company convincing the STEMIX.TECH team at the time to shelve their original concept of utilising LLM cloud models, and instead offer to work with them on āLLMs on the Edgeā in the true sense of the word: āSmall Large Language Modelsā that can fit on a chip inside the toy and function without any internet connection, hence keeping conversations between children and their AI toys private and safe, all within the familyās four walls.
Is BrainChip possibly working with STEMIX.TECH in the form of a joint partnership (which would circumvent any upfront licence fee) to demonstrate what is possible with regards to LLMs at the Edge?
As I said, all this is pure speculation only. Maybe the project simply got shelved - be it temporarily or indefinitely.
Shortly after the LinkedIn post about the AI toy, STEMIX.TECH announced a partnership with Butonul RoČu - NiciodatÄ Singur (https://butonulrosu.ro/, Butonul RoČu meaning āRed Buttonā) on the development of an āLTE-M SOS enabled bracelet or keychain focused on safety and health monitoringā.
What piqued my interest about this device - given I was aware of BrainChipās prior intention of working on another project with STEMIX-TECH - is the sentence āThe IoT-LLM technology we are developing will be part of the next wave of energy efficient, AI integrated hardware and software products. It represents a new generation of infrastructure that can analyse and āthinkā about physical data in ways we never imagined before.ā

According to a LinkedIn post I stumbled across yesterday, the health wearable is apparently going to be launched under the name STEMIXGuardian. The first few lines in Romanian translate as āThank you, Liviu! Thank you, Ionut! Stemix, or a reason not to leave Romania permanently:ā

Other than that, STEMIX.TECHās focus seems to have shifted to industrial applications :

Rob TelsonWas it Louis (old CEO) mention very early on that he sees NVIDIA more as a partner than competitor.
I think of the processing units working together for the best results. The NPU will take tasks away from the GPU / CPU to improve all levels of computer processing.
I don't claim to fully understand what's happening in this IT world so I'm happy for someone correct me, this is just how I see it.
