Pathkey.AI has secured its first Chipforge customer contract ahead of the semiconductor platform’s commercial release, while a $2.8 million placement lifted quarter-end cash to $5.83 million. The company remains early-stage, with just $10,000 in customer receipts during the September quarter and further commercial conversion still to prove.

Weebit Nano has begun silicon validation with a second customer whose chip is running software from integrated ReRAM, marking another step towards potential production in 2027. The company also added two AI customers, advanced qualification work and ended the quarter with A$164.2 million in cash.

dorsaVi has secured A$3.0 million to expand its movement-data business for humanoid robotics while advancing its neuromorphic and RRAM chip programs. The raise comes as its first RRAM-CMOS validation chip moves into proprietary memory integration at TSMC.

Pathkey.AI has appointed Nanyang Technological University chip design and AI specialist Professor Anupam Chattopadhyay to the new Advisory Board supporting Chipforge. The appointment adds technical and commercialisation experience as the AI-native semiconductor platform moves from development towards a product launch, although no launch date or commercial contract was disclosed.

Pathkey.AI has appointed former Altium chairman Sam Weiss as a strategic advisor and raised $2.8 million in a placement led by Weiss, aiming to accelerate its AI-powered chip design platform Chipforge.

dorsaVi has confirmed its RRAM memory and neuromorphic IP operate synergistically, projecting up to 10x performance gains for robotics and exoskeletons. The company also finalized its first integrated RRAM-CMOS validation chip design, advancing towards tape-out and commercialisation.

Nanoveu’s ECS-DoT edge-AI chip has proven its mettle in live drone trials with up to 51% energy efficiency gains, while the acquisition of Spinoff Robotics adds proprietary drone platforms and engineering talent to accelerate commercialisation.

Weebit Nano has lifted its FY 2026 revenue forecast by over 12%, citing growth in customer projects ahead of its full-year results.

Pathkey.AI has finalised its takeover of Chipforge, an AI-driven semiconductor design company, issuing shares and performance rights as consideration. The move broadens Pathkey's AI platform capabilities from clinical trials into semiconductor engineering, aiming to shorten chip development cycles significantly.

dorsaVi has completed the design of its first integrated RRAM-CMOS validation chip, featuring self-checking write-and-verify, compute-in-memory capabilities, and scalable integration on commercial CMOS wafers. The milestone sets the stage for fabrication and commercial engagement in high-value edge AI markets.

dorsaVi has qualified three RRAM material stacks compatible with standard foundry processes, paving the way for scalable 22nm RRAM production and advancing its wearable robotics and medical sensor ambitions.

Archer Materials is progressing toward demonstrating a working qubit this year while scaling quantum device fabrication from lab prototypes to wafer-scale manufacturing using semiconductor industry standards.
