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

Not against you….
But I honestly don’t get why some people always have to go straight for the extreme scenarios.

Let the company actually find its footing, generate consistent revenue, and get Akida into real products… not just trials. These steps don’t happen in a year, and as we can all see, they take time.

Personally, I’d already be happy to see us move past $0.50 … not because I’d suddenly be rich, but because it would make the stock more attractive again. $0.70 would be even better, $1 would be perfect if it could be held with real progress behind it.

What I absolutely don’t want is a reverse split just so some people can see a “higher share price.” Right now, the shorters would just slam it straight back down … and then we’d not only have a “ridiculous” share price again, but also less shares in our accounts.

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 RISC‑V host, Akida inference cores, and CUDA-capable GPUs for tiered AI tasks?....

NVIDIA plans to use SiFive’s HiFive Premier P550 RISC‑V SoC during early CUDA porting. BrainChip's ecosystem includes RISC‑V partner SiFive in joint IP licensing contexts. Akida neuromorphic IP is already RISC‑V compatible.

As NVIDIA moves deeper into RISC‑V + CUDA for embedded AI, you would think it should open up partnership interest in complementary technologies that fill gaps. For example, CUDA can’t run efficiently at the milliwatt, always-on edge like Akida can. CUDA can’t do event-driven spiking inference natively but Akida is built for this.

And here the same… I never really understood why some people see NVIDIA as a competitor.

I’ve always believed the opposite …that we could actually help them move forward with their ambitions…. As a partner in their program…

Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
I know there are several aspects I didn’t mention here for now, but this is just meant as a simple overview…

Hi @7für7,

I'm looking forward to what some of the more tech savvy forum members have to say about this development.

But, I do agree with you in seeing NVIDIA much more as a partner, rather than a competitor. And this sentiment was oft repeated by our BOD, especially in the earlier days.

it's helpful that NVIDIA's CUDA on RISC‑V does not appear to threaten or overlap with BrainChip’s event-driven neuromorphic technology. This would seem to position Akida for synergy, rather than direct competition with NVIDIA.

If SiFive sees growing traction from CUDA developers, hopefully it increases the potential for Akida to be bundled or integrated for AI inference at the edge.

At the very least it will encourage more silicon vendors, device OEMs, and SoC designers to standardize on RISC‑V, which directly expands the addressable market for Akida IP.

I agree, NVIDIA uses traditional Edge AI whereas we are Neuromorphic Edge AI.
It will not become really apparent until the Neuromorphic industry reaches a decent size.
Then the larger traditional based companies will be looking to break into Neuromorphic.

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 “specializing in AI-centric hardware and software products” 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 ‘likes’ being exchanged, including this recent one: Their CTO Ionuț Moldovanu gave Alf Kuchenbuch’s Edge AI Milan 2025 post a , in which our VP of Sales, EMEA had mentioned “validating our approach with Akida2 with TENNs, which we will start rolling out for evaluation in summer 2025”:

View attachment 88975


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 (“We’re about to launch…”), 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.

“STEMIX.TECH D1 demo video - Voice AI development kit - Use the full power of LLM with our low power development board”:




From 3 min onwards, Ionuț Moldovanu says “Basically you could run a lot of other apps, like voice-to-voice - we’re 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.”


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, we’re talking about an electronic children’s 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... That’s why I wrote at the time: “So is this possibly a case of a collaboration involving a potential software license of TENNs only?! After all, you don’t necessarily need Akida for running TENNs!”

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 hasn’t 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 “LLMs on the Edge” in the true sense of the word: “Small Large Language Models” 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 family’s 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 Roșu - Niciodată Singur (https://butonulrosu.ro/, Butonul Roșu meaning “Red Button”) on the development of an “LTE-M SOS enabled bracelet or keychain focused on safety and health monitoring”.

What piqued my interest about this device - given I was aware of BrainChip’s prior intention of working on another project with STEMIX-TECH - is the sentence “The 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 “think” about physical data in ways we never imagined before.”

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 “Thank you, Liviu! Thank you, Ionut! Stemix, or a reason not to leave Romania permanently:”

The most powerful AI stories are the ones you can hold in your hands — technologies that improve health, safety, and wellbeing. Making this possible is the increasing amount of AI brought directly to edge devices — where data is generated — without relying on the cloud. AI will be integrated into every aspect of life, invisible, seamless and always on. It will predict and react to a user's needs in real time, often before those needs are recognized.
