Can someone with knowledge of this sector, Is NVU and BRN in the same field and competing against each other
It is confusing. GRAIN is the name of the project and everything falls under that. The GR801 chip was its first chip and was/is fully commercial.Little confusing. Nearly 2 years to go, yet we are ready to demo with frontgrade now?
We knew about Rapidity Space but ESA still evaluating GR801 until Nov 2027?
Hopefully more like evaluating what use cases it can be used for!

It is confusing. GRAIN is the name of the project and everything falls under that. The GR801 chip was its first chip and was/is fully commercial.
The VAIAS project falls under the GRAIN project (everything does).
The original GR801 chip was commercial in the sense it was available for sale to research labs, universities, early adopters etc but it was not yet fully commercial in the sense that it was not qualified for actual space travel - hence the VAIAS project to get the qualification.
Pretty much standard practice in the industry. If chip makers waited for full commercial space qualification pretty much nothing would ever leave the ground.
Its confusing for sure.
Its amazing how long these project take. Even Autos when they are 'very' neuromorphic and the roads full of them people would not believe the concept was first introduces maybe 7, 8 or 9 years ago.
I guess that is why the BRN rush is currently on wearables and defense with wearables likely the quickest.

VAIAS - Validation of an AI Accelerator for Space
Reference number 2025-02991 Coordinator Frontgrade Gaisler AB Funding from Vinnova SEK 2 400 000 Project duration November 2025 - November 2027 Status Ongoing Venture 6G - Infrastructure Call ESA Phi-Lab Sweden: Edge AI in space Purpose and goal
The project addresses a growing market for energy-efficient, fault-tolerant onboard AI computing capable of replacing ground-based processing/power-hungry accelerators ill-suited for space environments. GR801 combines Brainchip Akida IP with Frontgrade Gaisler NOELV fault-tolerant CPU, to deliver reliable inference at the edge in space. The project objectives are two key commercialization enablers: radiation validation of GR801 and AI S/W ecosystem and neuromorphic demonstrator by Rapidity Space
Expected effects and result
The project will deliver a GR801 component validated for space environments and also extensions to the AI SW eco-system. The intended impact is to increase autonomy in European space systems, energy-efficient space missions, support for emerging AI-at-the-edge applications, and potential spillover into adjacent domains such as climate monitoring and robotics. This will contribute to AI hardware and software innovations and accelerating the transition of AI edge computing from lab to orbit.
Planned approach and implementation
Frontgrade Gaisler will start with a preparatory study in WP1 on use cases and customer intelligence. The results will act as a basis for work packages WP4 and WP5 where the project will focus on the ecosystem around AI software and neuromorphic sensing/computing. WP1 will be carried out by Frontgrade Gaisler and the results will be transferred to Rapidity Space which carries out WP4 and WP5. In parallel, validation of the GR801 will be performed by Frontgrade Gaisler in WP2 and WP3.

One trial was completed on the last day in 2025 according to NIH below, 47 participants.Hi Manny,
My money is on the cyberNeuro RT Akida Edge Boc to be first cab off the rank.(I was going to say CNRT is waymo likely to be the first cab, but I thought better of it). CNRT is an existing hardware product the Edge Box) and the models would be derived from pre-existing QV data.
I'm assuming that Onsor will need FDA-type approval before it can be sold as a medical device.
I've always said chatty is a genius!"Nvidia just admitted the general-purpose GPU era is ending"
Title of interesting article above. FF has posted a few details of similar conclusions. FF posted the article contents but it was reported and deleted.
I asked 'chat' to provide a brief summary of the article as to the effect on AKIDA
"
Summary: Why AKIDA Is a Winner in the New Inference Era
As AI inference splits into two distinct workloads — prefill (compute‑bound) and decode (memory‑bound) — the industry is moving away from one‑size‑fits‑all GPUs toward highly specialized architectures. This shift favors processors that minimize memory movement, deliver ultra‑low latency, and run efficiently on small, distilled models.
Neuromorphic edge chips like BrainChip’s AKIDA are built around exactly these strengths. They excel at decode‑style workloads, maintain local state with minimal energy, and run compact models at the edge with extremely low power consumption. As the market increasingly demands real‑time agents, on‑device intelligence, and efficient small‑model inference, AKIDA aligns perfectly with where the growth is happening.
Bottom line:AKIDA is positioned as a winner in the new inference era because the industry’s architectural shift directly matches the problems neuromorphic processors were designed to solve — low‑latency, low‑power, stateful, small‑model, edge‑first AI.""
FF posted the below supporting a move from GPUs.
Hey Tech,Some (termites) or as we say in the West, White Anter's who love to undermine positive sentiment, well think about this, when I personally share my opinion it has always been very balanced, some seem to forget that I've critised our company and certain employees over the journey, at one point I mentioned how I thought around 17 million AUD was blown during the sales team and studio era, BUT the point of this post is to remind ALL shareholders that we currently have a put option that requires 20 million AUD shares to be issued and closed out by the end of June 2026.
That does effect the share price rise, that's why I and others think 2026 through 2027 will see revenue justify sustained growth.
All personal attacks make me laugh, it's just a sign of weakness or maybe more to the point, desperation shining through in some shareholders personalities.
Do your own homework or invest in a bank.

It would be good if brain chip get a deal with Texas ins so they can use both weebit and BRN in conjunction with each other then that would be good news.Hi Bravo,
I'm not sure about any synergies between BRN and Weebit.
The podcast with Coby Hanoch at 19 minutes differentiates between the use of ReRAM for memory, which is a thing now, and ongoing development of its future use for neuromorphic compute-in-memory (analog)
https://www.theaustralian.com.au/bu...g/news-story/7be732f46c8a8ca3cb9e7d5bb93e31b6
The fact that they can claim a licence with Texas instruments would seem to validate their technology for memory applications under 14 nm, which SRAM apparently cannot achieve.
Basically, the fundamental reproducibility problem with analog is yet to be overcome to enable its use in NNs. Memory is fine - just single bits storing information, but when calculations involving thousands of bits which may vary by, eg, 1%, the result can be unreliable. To some extent, NNs can tolerate some variability because they operate on probability, not mathematical precision, but it becomes problematic when the variability exceeds the allowable tolerance,
His 5 years plan isn't over, total deniable by anyone done just a little bit of DD.Hey Tech,
It’s undeniable that Sean’s five-year plan is over. You simply can’t complete the entire 2025 without an IP deal and claim success.
Akida 2 has been out for far too long to not have secured company sign-ups by now.
I believe his sales approach or lack thereof, coupled with his professional appearance, isn’t enough to achieve the desired results.
This is actually pretty promising news.Apologies if posted already

MetaGuard AI Debuts Defense-Grade Cybersecurity Platform at CES 2026 with Industry-First Full Source Code Access and BrainChip Neuromorphic Support | Aaron Goldberg
Pleased to be demonstrating the power of our IoT Network Intrusion Detection software on Brainchip’s Akida Edge Box at CES next week!www.linkedin.com
HNY N,This is actually pretty promising news.
Quantum Ventura is now advertising and demoing it's cyber security platform through a subsidiary entity, MetaGuard AI.
For those that aren't an accountant (I am), this is a common restructure that I see and assist clients with, specially tech and licensing businesses or start ups that are close to commercialisation / ready to go to market.
Quantum Ventura would be the R&D entity, it owns the IP for the cyber security platform that has been developed and funded via the SBIR.
MetaGuard AI has been set up to be the market and client facing, brand advertising and contract entering licensee which will employ sales, marketing and other employees. Quantum Ventura will have licensed it's platform to MetaGuard to distribute and on-license to paying customers.
In short, the key reason for doing this is asset protection. If things go pear shape with customers or employees, the risk is limited to the assets held by MetaGuard AI. The key asset being the IP of the cyber security platform is held by Quantum Ventura and therefore not at risk.
This means QV is ready and extremely close to being ready to sell its products. They wouldn't have restructured if they weren't.
Still no IP licence between QV and Brainchip, I'm assuming this is subject to a customer order being placed with QV, so if they have success following CES, it will probably lead to an IP licence for us.
Cheers
Hi Tech, shorters have no boundaries when it comes to protecting their agenda and as we know areSome (termites) or as we say in the West, White Anter's who love to undermine positive sentiment, well think about this, when I personally share my opinion it has always been very balanced, some seem to forget that I've critised our company and certain employees over the journey, at one point I mentioned how I thought around 17 million AUD was blown during the sales team and studio era, BUT the point of this post is to remind ALL shareholders that we currently have a put option that requires 20 million AUD shares to be issued and closed out by the end of June 2026.

Hi Tech, the " White anters" as we are know are largely shorters with an obvious agenda to support their financial objectives, ie they want to take holders money.Some (termites) or as we say in the West, White Anter's who love to undermine positive sentiment, well think about this, when I personally share my opinion it has always been very balanced, some seem to forget that I've critised our company and certain employees over the journey, at one point I mentioned how I thought around 17 million AUD was blown during the sales team and studio era, BUT the point of this post is to remind ALL shareholders that we currently have a put option that requires 20 million AUD shares to be issued and closed out by the end of June 2026.
