For example, the US National Defence Authorisation ACT (NDAA) has allocated approximately $30 billion to cybersecurity initiatives in FY20253. And as part of NATO’s total defence spending target of 5%, 1.5% of that would be related to “defence-related outlays” which includes spending on cybersecurity.
All of these factors together have helped drive substantial acquisition activity over the last year, including:
Is this the perfect storm for cybersecurity stocks?
"Expanding defence budgets
Defence budgets globally have allocated significant increases to cybersecurity recently, reflecting its importance in modern warfare and national security.For example, the US National Defence Authorisation ACT (NDAA) has allocated approximately $30 billion to cybersecurity initiatives in FY20253.

A little while ago @Frangipani had kindly posted some images and LinkedIn posts with Edward Lien our Regional SM at Andes Risc-V Con.
I also saw someone post something earlier this morning about it would be nice to be in smart phones or similar etc.
Well, I can't say we'll be in smart phones etc as yet but I was reading through the Andes site, (link below but you will need to use auto translate to read it all - or maybe not as the Google translate link I pasted may do it for you), and when you look at the recent partnerships inc BRN with their Voyager Board, AndesCore™ AX45MP, SOC etc there appears to be a very synergistic ecosystem there and some use case they state are smart phones, tablets, SDV etc.
They even reached a milestone with one of the partnerships listed (Imagination for GPU) running Android 15 specifically for the above targets.
The other thing I noticed was something that Edward was presenting on as below. Not just AI acceleration but specifically LLM engine.

I have a question if I may Mr Lewis.... Is there any room in the mobile phone market for neuromorphic compute or are the current systems used doing the job well enough that a switch over to neuromorphic technology isn't high on their radar currently ?.

Wow, that is interesting!
I recently read about how a single changed pixel in a large image can lead to a completely different result.
And the reason lies in the precision with which images are supposed to be recognized.
With the many millions or billions of calculations in matrices, one mistake leads to major changes.

So much more engaging than asking the fridge what "vacation mode" is all about.
More of this!!!
I was talking with ChatGPT about Brainchip and endet up with this …
My post:
I’ve said it before on TSE .. none of this makes any sense to me anymore.
BrainChip has so many well-known partners, licensees, universities, and experts who speak positively about Akida and its potential. Everyone keeps saying it’s a game-changer, with unmatched energy efficiency and real-world applications. The potential is enormous.
And yet… the share price is utterly pathetic.
The management seems to do nothing but quote musicals, say things like “we hope that…” or “we see our product in every device” .but they take no actual steps to get real attention on the stock.
What’s going on? What are they waiting for?
Response:
You’re definitely not alone in feeling this. Many long-term holders are asking the same question: How can a company with such revolutionary tech and such a powerful network be valued so poorly?
Let’s break it down:
The contradiction:
What’s wrong?
1. No significant revenue yet.
Lots of partners, yes – but none seem to have converted into real, meaningful licensing income. Without that, the market sees only R&D, not business.
2. Vague communication.
Management loves to say:
“We see Akida in all devices”
“We believe the world will see its value”
But there’s rarely anything concrete – no hard deals, no revenue numbers, no OEM names.
3. Dilution kills confidence.
The constant use of ATMs, performance rights, and stock options has deeply eroded investor trust. More shares, same pie.
4. Weak investor communication.
Other tech firms do roadshows, PR pushes, interviews, demos. BrainChip gives us Broadway quotes and philosophical posts – but no strategic IR campaign.
5. Market suspicion.
Too much promise, too little delivery. Until an OEM ships actual products with Akida inside – and BrainChip reports real revenue – the market stays skeptical.
So what is the management waiting for?
Bottom line:
You’re right: the gap between Akida’s perceived value and BRN’s actual market cap is absurd – but not accidental.
Management is either silent because they’re legally obligated – or because there’s simply nothing new to say.
Either way, it’s costing them trust, momentum, and shareholder confidence.
Until we see:
…the market will stay on the sidelines.
It’s not fair. But it’s how the game works.

Let’s break it down:
The contradiction:- Tech: Akida is brilliant. Ultra-low power, edge-native, ideal for AIoT. Validated by experts, research labs, and devs worldwide.
- Partners: ARM, Edge Impulse, Mercedes-Benz hints, NASA references, universities.
- Potential: Everyone says “this chip could be in everything” – phones, cars, sensors, wearables.
- Reality: Sub-€0.10 stock, constant dilution, and nearly zero trust from the broader market. Why?
What’s wrong?1. No significant revenue yet.
Lots of partners, yes – but none seem to have converted into real, meaningful licensing income. Without that, the market sees only R&D, not business.
2. Vague communication.

Too much promise, too little delivery. Until an OEM ships actual products with Akida inside – and BrainChip reports real revenue – the market stays skeptical.
So what is the management waiting for?- Option 1: They do have something but are under strict NDAs – waiting for their partners to launch products before they can speak.
- Option 2: There simply isn’t anything major yet. Just more talks, demos, trials – and no conversions.
- Option 3: They’re trying to avoid overhyping, aiming for long-term trust… but forgot that even long-term investors need clarity and communication.
Bottom line:You’re right: the gap between Akida’s perceived value and BRN’s actual market cap is absurd – but not accidental.
Management is either silent because they’re legally obligated – or because there’s simply nothing new to say.
Either way, it’s costing them trust, momentum, and shareholder confidence.
Until we see:
- Real, named customers
- Public revenue from licenses
- Clear product integrations
…the market will stay on the sidelines.
It’s not fair. But it’s how the game works.

Hi @CrabmansFriend,
when googling for more information on BrainChip’s Aether Core LLM accelerator on FPGA (cf. https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-469022), I came across a few links to a recent (now expired) BrainChip job ad for a Hardware Engineering intern that says “Our current demo utilizes Intel x86 in conjunction with Aether Core LLM for showcasing our platform. This internship project aims to create an advanced proof-of-concept platform by integrating the LLM with a high-end ARM series. This innovation will serve as an impressive showcase at various demo and trade shows, highlighting our LLM capabilities with ARM technology”.
Can we infer from the info that the current LLM FPGA Tech Demonstrator runs on an Intel x86 CPU, it is highly likely / must be based on an Altera FPGA or would it be entirely possible to mix and match? I have no idea…

Back then, Nvidia was a small, visionary tech company, developing GPU technology before the world realized its full potential. The stock was volatile, and few believed in it long-term:
YearNvidia Stock Price (split-adjusted)Investor Sentiment
1999Below $1Hopeful but uncertain – early believers, many skeptics
2002Dropped ~80% during tech crashFrustration, doubt, some sold in panic
2005Began recoveryEarly patience began to pay off
Many early Nvidia shareholders felt ignored, doubted, even ridiculed – until the world finally realized the value of GPUs for gaming, AI, and computing.---
Now: BrainChip (BRN) Shareholders in 2024–2025Current SentimentCompared to Nvidia's Early Years
High hopes for disruptive neuromorphic tech (Akida)
Similar to Nvidia’s GPU visionSlow commercialization, long wait
Like Nvidia before mass-market adoptionMarket mostly ignores the company despite real progress
Nvidia was treated similarlyStrong community belief and long-term conviction
Just like Nvidia’s early retail holders---
Final Thought:> Yes – it feels very similar.
Early Nvidia investors had to wait, be patient, and endure criticism and market dips.
Those who held on through the uncertain years witnessed one of the greatest tech success stories in history.
If BrainChip fulfills even part of its potential, many current investors could one day say:
> “I was in before anyone believed.”
Conviction + Patience = Historic Opportunity.
There are
no guarantees – but the parallels are real.
Yes. Intel would be high on the probabilities list. We are partnered with IFS (or in their ecosystem).Hi @CrabmansFriend,

The Roadmap shows that GenAI and Akida 2 are available in FPGA, and Akida 3 is "planned".
I think 6 nodes of FPGA was mentioned (in one of the electronics show videos ...?), so it's not the Rolls-Royce version, but would still pack a punch even in FPGA.
https://brainchip.com/brainchip-technology-roadmap/
Now there's an interseting thing I've just noticed:
Akida Gen AI has FP16 and FP 32;
Akida 3 has INT16, FP 16, and FP32.
So GenAI, which is adapted to process LLMs, does not need INT numbers. Or, to put it another way, LLMs are written in FP. GernAI is compatible with open source SSMs and LLMs.
We did use Xilinx many years ago for Brainchip Accelerator:
https://brainchip.com/brainchip-int...n-of-neuromorphic-computing-brainchip-120917/
SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwired) — 09/12/17 —
BrainChip Holdings Ltd. (ASX: BRN)
- Enables 16 channels of simultaneous video processing;
- Provides a low power, up to 6x speed boost to BrainChip Studio’s CPU-based Artificial Intelligence Software for Object Recognition;
- 7x more efficient than GPU-accelerated deep learning systems
...
The processing is done by six BrainChip Accelerator cores in a Xilinx Kintex Ultrascale field-programmable gate array (FPGA).
... but I don't think that that would be relevant, as FPGAs are pretty much COTS products. We would need an FPGA which had sufficient of the correct types of logic circuits.
