I call upon the omnipotent power of the universe to grant us a "Trading halt" followed by news of a significant partnership by big tech or/and an offer to buy us out for 5 dollars a share....

Alright then, so now—due to the lack of massive revenue—we’ve basically stopped believing that we can independently reach such share prices. Now there’s nothing left but to hope for an acquisition And even those prices seem totally realistic to me (irony off).
Well then… I’m calling it: $250 per share.

 

[7für7]

Doesn’t mean anything… but i just want to share ChatGPTs opinion because we had some other postings already from ChatGPT here …


“ Realistic Assessment (as of May 2025):
• 0.30–0.40 AUD per share is currently a realistic upper limit for an acquisition, unless a breakthrough, scandal, or major partnership fundamentally changes the story.
• Above 0.50 AUD would only be conceivable if, for example, NVIDIA, Apple, or another tech giant fears losing Akida to a competitor.
• 2.50 AUD or 250 USD – that remains (unfortunately) a sarcastic fantasy, unless Akida suddenly proves to be a key technology for AGI at the edge.”

So… let’s hope the 3rd option will come through… showing Akida is suddenly proving, to be a key technology in our market!

Here’s a fairly recent video featuring Hossam Haick, the inventor behind NaNose.

In the video, Hossam discusses how extremely affordable, scalable technologies capable of real-time analysis have the potential to transform global health—especially for the billions of people with no access to clinics, infrastructure, or even basic utilities like electricity and clean water, and who often live on less than $1 a day.

He also highlights the exciting possibility of miniaturizing the technology into wearable devices, which could represent a genuine leap forward in creating equitable access to healthcare worldwide.

On the topic of affordability, it’s hard to see how NVIDIA’s Jetson platform could be a more viable solution than for such a mission than BrainChip's Akida. IMO, Akida’s ultra-low power consumption, real-time capability, and minimal hardware footprint make it a more appropriate fit for truly accessible, affordable, global-scale health solutions.

It stands to reason if you don't have access to electricity, you would want a device that operates at ultra-low power, so it can run for days without re-charging, not just hours.

If the below information from ChatGPT is correct, it sums it up nicely.

Hi Bravo, thanks for the video. If its wearables then we are streets ahead of anything else on the market. It makes sense for Nanose to use AKIDA for hand held devices as AKIDA is a no brainer for wearables when they move into that area.
So far they say dozens of diseases can be detected..

Hi Esky,

I agree and speaking of competition...

DEEPX aims to deliver energy-efficient, low-cost AI chip solutions for edge computing​

News highlightsWednesday 28 May 20250

Exclusive Interview with DEEPX CEO Lokwon Kim. Credit: DEEPX

At Computex in Taipei, Lokwon Kim, founder and CEO of the Korean semiconductor company DEEPX, shed light on his company's robust capabilities in designing high-performance AI chips that prioritize cost-effectiveness and power efficiency. DEEPX aims to compensate, rather than compete with, industry giants like NVIDIA, by focusing on the burgeoning "on-device" AI market.

Kim came to sign an MOU of strategic partnership with Taiwan-based AIC Inc., a storage and server solutions provider. DEEPX's advanced Neural Processing Units (NPUs) will be integrated with AIC's robust industrial-grade server platforms. This collaboration aims to deliver unprecedented computational power combined with significant energy efficiency and compact form factors tailored specifically for edge environments.

Kim's journey into AI chip design began during his PhD program at UCLA in 2007, where he had the opportunity to work on a deep learning processor project at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, which he calls "the number one research organization in the world." His research contributed to the early development of NPUs, even before the term "deep learning" was widely used.
"At that time there's no word like deep learning. We just call artificial neural network. So I was really extraordinary fortunate to start earlier than others," Kim shared. This early start gave him a significant advantage.
Having graduated from UCLA, Kim's tenure at Cisco, working on semiconductors for internet routers, provided crucial insights into the explosive growth of connected devices and the impending data deluge. He foresaw that by 2025, 70 billion devices would be connected to the internet, generating an unprecedented amount of data that humans alone could not process. Furthermore, he recognized that "40% of the internet data must be processed in a real time manner, not the data center we are waiting for." This realization fueled his vision for a low-power, high-performance, and low-cost AI processing solution at the device level.
"We need a very low power, high-performance, low-cost solution to process that on device, not the data center," Kim explained that relying on the cloud makes no sense due to latency, cost, and security problems.

He was inspired by the late Steve Jobs when he started working for Apple in 2014. "At the entrance of the Apple campus, there is this quotation from Steve Jobs that says, 'if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else that's wonderful…, Just figure out what's next." Kim decided it was time to answer that call when his internal startup idea was turned down by Apple. He decided to realize that dream by building a chip for the edge environment at his home country, South Korea, leveraging the foundry service of Samsung to support his fabless venture.
In 2018, Kim established DEEPX, and now the company has more than 100 employees in South Korea and will soon establish a branch office in July 2025, with FA engineer and salesperson stationed in Taipei.
"We Compensate the Giant, Not Compete"
Kim draws a parallel between the current AI chip landscape and the CPU market in the 1990s, where Intel dominated until ARM emerged with a more suitable solution for mobile devices due to its lower power consumption. He believes a similar dynamic is at play with AI processors, where NVIDIA's GPUs, while powerful, are not ideal for small, power-constrained devices due to their "high power consumption and very hot, high cost." As Kim put it, "We cannot put GPU solution into our small electrical devices. That's the point. So I wanted to solve it."
DEEPX's strategy is to address this gap by providing AI chips specifically designed for on-device applications, thereby "compensating Nvidia's market." This approach prioritizes:
• Real-time processing: "On device device zero latency guaranteed zero latency," Kim emphasized, highlighting the critical need for immediate responses in applications like self-driving cars and factory automation.
• Privacy and security: Kim explained the risk of sending factory data to data centers for AI processing, stating, "If you send the used data to the cloud for AI processing, hackers may intercept and leak that data. " On-device processing mitigates this risk.
• Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): DEEPX offers a significantly more affordable long-term solution. Kim provided an example: "The cost of our chip is under $100 for 10 years."
• Carbon emission reduction: Kim highlighted the environmental impact of current solutions: "Already, all the H100 GPUs in the world together consume more power than the total power consumption of France, which is one huge country." DEEPX's power-efficient chips offer a sustainable alternative.
DEEPX is already demonstrating its capabilities through collaborations with major companies. They are working with a large IT company in China on industrial monitoring and smart city projects. They are also partnering with South Korea company for white appliances, enabling functionalities like autonomous movement for robot vacuum cleaners and home security features such as detecting unauthorized individuals or elders' falling. DEEPX has already shared samples of their chips with over 300 global companies, achieving significant success in the pre-mass production market. Their chips are manufactured by Samsung's 5nm process.

DX-M2: Chip for Generative AI at the Edge
Looking ahead, DEEPX is developing DX-M2, their next-generation chip for generative AI. DEEPX aims to enable generative AI models with over 1 billion parameters, such as Meta LLaMA4 and Deepseek MoE, to run on-devices with just 5 watts of power consumption, and they are also considering TSMC 3nm or Samsung 2nm for future products.
Kim believes this will address the current financial challenges of generative AI. "Generative AI is not profitable right now because OpenAI pays huge energy bills to maintain its operations," said Kim, emphasizing DEEPX's solution would make generative AI accessible and affordable, with the chip costing under $50 and a module under $150, effectively eliminating the need for expensive data center charges for a decade once purchased. Kim believes this on-device generative AI will be a "hugely popular product." He acknowledges the skepticism, recalling similar disbelief when they announced their first chip's performance with low power, but he remains confident in their ability to deliver." Actually when we announced our DX-M1, nobody believed... But we did it. We proved it. Now we will do it again," he affirmed.

Aiming to be Top 10 Players in Tech
DEEPX's long-term vision, as outlined by Kim, aligns with the suggestion of Jensen Huang, who he admires and considers a "rockstar." Huang's suggested phases for chip companies include:
1. Low cost and high usability: DEEPX has achieved this by creating chips that are highly useful and inexpensive.
2. Patent protection: DEEPX boasts over 300 patents for NPU technology, exceeding those of Intel, ARM, Qualcomm, and NVIDIA.
3. Ecosystem development: The next phase involves building an ecosystem with software frameworks and applications to increase the solution's value and profitability.
Kim's ultimate goal for DEEPX is to become "one of the major families in the world, within the top 10 players in the world" within the next 5 to 10 years, contributing to "the process of transformation process of human civilization, which is going to the super-intelligent."
This ambition, fueled by a decade of pioneering research and a clear strategic vision, positions DEEPX not just as a chip maker, but as a key enabler of a more intelligent, efficient, and sustainable technological future. As the demand for on-device AI continues to skyrocket, DEEPX's commitment to cost-effective, power-efficient, and high-performance solutions promises to democratize AI, making its transformative power accessible to countless devices and industries worldwide.

Quarterhorse Mk 1 flight redefines U.S. aircraft development pace and unlocks next steps toward hypersonic aircraft.
EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif., May 27, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hermeus, a venture capital-backed aerospace and defense technology company specializing in high-speed aircraft, announced today the flight of its Quarterhorse Mk 1 aircraft. This milestone is a significant step in Hermeus’ development of high-Mach and hypersonic aircraft. With this flight, Hermeus demonstrated a rapid development pace, advancing Hermeus’ mission to operationalize hypersonic technologies.

"Mk 1 has redefined the pace of developing and flying new aircraft," said AJ Piplica, CEO and Co-Founder of Hermeus. "I’m incredibly proud of what our team has accomplished. We’ve proven the viability of our iterative development approach. But this is just the start. We have much more to do as the bar rises for the next iteration."
Quarterhorse Mk 1 went from clean sheet to flight-ready in a little over a year. The primary focus of the test campaign was validate high-speed takeoff and landing of a large uncrewed aircraft. The aircraft's unique configuration — driven by high-speed flight — makes basic operations of takeoff and landing distinctly challenging.

"Industry partnerships continue to have an important role in the development and test of disruptive and innovative capabilities for our warfighters," commented Major General Scott Cain, Commander of Air Force Test Center. "The promise of routine hypersonic flight is an exciting capability for the joint team."
Data from the campaign has validated design and performance models, including aerodynamics, stability and control. Testing also validated performance of vehicle subsystems including propulsion, fuel systems, hydraulics, power, thermal management, avionics, flight software, telemetry, flight termination and command and control.

"The real-world flight data from Mk 1 provides significant technical value that we’re rolling into our next aircraft," said President and Co-Founder Skyler Shuford. "Moreover, the team has accomplished this milestone on a challenging timeline while operating within the overall aerospace ecosystem — all to support rebuilding America’s lost capability to quickly develop brand-new, full-scale jets."
Quarterhorse Mk 1 is the first in a series of uncrewed aircraft on Hermeus’ iterative development roadmap. The approach emphasizes ‘hardware richness’ – building multiple prototypes in quick succession, allowing the team to take well-managed technical risk.
The team is actively reviewing data and integrating lessons learned into Hermeus’ next iteration, Quarterhorse Mk 2, currently being manufactured at Hermeus’ headquarters in Atlanta. The scale of an F-16, Quarterhorse Mk 2 is a high-Mach aircraft designed to de-risk uncrewed supersonic flight. It is on-track to fly late this year.

Hermeus is a venture capital-backed aerospace and defense technology company founded to radically accelerate aviation. In the near-term, the business is focused on building high-speed products that sustainably deliver asymmetric advantage to the Department of Defense and allied partners. Utilizing an iterative development approach to aircraft, Hermeus’ high-Mach and hypersonic aircraft aim to deliver capabilities at a pace not seen in the U.S. since the 1950s.

"We'll be able to use the Golden Dome concept to make sure the country is increasingly protected against hypersonic threats," Taiclet said in an exclusive interview Tuesday on "Special Report."
Trump unveiled his ambitious missile defense plan at the White House last week, which he says will be operational by the time he leaves office. The announcement comes as the United States faces growing threats from adversaries around the world who are making significant inroads in artificial intelligence and drone technology.

The system is estimated to cost roughly $175 billion and will use space-based sensors, interceptors and other advanced missile defense technologies.

Approximately $25 billion for the Golden Dome missile defense system is included in the 2025 budget reconciliation bill, which was narrowly passed by the U.S. House late last week.

The Congressional Budget Office estimated in a May report that the space-based interceptors could cost between $161 billion and $542 billion over 20 years.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a former "Fox & Friends Weekend" co-host, touted Trump’s announcement as a "game-changing" security investment for generations of Americans.

"The Golden Dome will progressively protect our nation from aerial attacks from any foe. Within the last four decades, our adversaries have developed more advanced and lethal long-range weapons than ever before,

Taiclet told Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier the missile defense system will take time to implement, and it’s up to industry leaders to take the government’s priority list and provide information on the feasibility of its demands.

"What's the geography you're trying to protect? What's the location? And what's the area of that geography? What types of attacks are you trying to project against?" he asked. "Is it drones, small drones, large ones, hypersonic missiles, ballistic missiles?"

The Lockheed Martin executive called for collaboration between other defense contracting companies, as well as tech titans like Microsoft, Meta and Nvidia, to create the best defense system possible.

【Galactic Innovation: Kuat Systems Engineering Unveils Next-Gen Edge AI Modules for Imperial Deployment】


“Kuat Systems Engineering (KSE), renowned for its TIE-series starfighter systems, has just announced a groundbreaking new series of Edge AI modules at the Outer Rim TechExpo 2025. These modules are set to power on-device intelligence in Imperial droid control units, hyperdrive navigators, and battlefield sensor clusters — no cloud, no holonet latency. Pure edge.

What’s Inside?
KSE remains tight-lipped on the actual silicon, but insiders and independent slicers on Tatooine speculate the chips are based on a low-power, event-driven neural architecture developed by an obscure Earth-based firm known for its spiking brilliance.
Initial codename spotted in leaked schematics: AKD-Z1.
Coincidence? Or… Akida?

“This thing doesn’t just process signals — it interprets context in real-time. The model is lean, adaptive, and unnervingly intuitive.”
— Dr. Xarn Bril’to, Institute for Machine Thought, Coruscant

Possible Leak:
An encrypted data burst posted in a CantinaNet thread appears to show a devkit labeled “Neural Edge – AKD-Z1”. Rumors swirl this is a veiled reference to Akida technology. The poster has since vanished. Make of that what you will.

Galactic Forecast:
Analysts from Bespin AI Research predict the decentralized AI sector will grow tenfold by 2030 GTC, fueled by demand in autonomous droid logic, hyperspace hazard detection, and Kyber-crystal behavioral analysis.

Use-Case: BX-Series Tactical Droids
First deployments reportedly spotted on Mustafar. These upgraded BX units learn on the fly, adapt in combat without uplink, and display a degree of initiative previously thought illegal.
Marketing slogan from a leaked holoposter:
“Think. Adapt. Survive. – On the Edge.”

Final Thoughts:
While KSE denies any official partnership, it is highly probable that Akida — or something functionally indistinguishable from it — is operating at the heart of these systems.
Could BrainChip be the unseen Force behind KSE’s leap forward? Officially: no.
Unofficially: “I sense a disturbance in the semiconductor.”

Community Thread:
“Is the AKD-Z1 just Akida with a helmet?”

Comment from Darth Vader:

“When I first saw what the AKD-Z1 could do, I felt… something I had not felt since Mustafar. It anticipates threats before they arise.
It does not wait for data. It acts.
I find its lack of cloud dependency… impressive.”
