Styx impresses with AI innovation at CODE 2025
Hamburg, 30 July 2025
Students at Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) and Wedel University of Applied Sciences (FH Wedel) are pursuing an ambitious vision with their start-up Styx: to transfer trained AI models to analogue circuits – for greater energy efficiency, independence from the grid and increased security.
As part of its start-up project, the team is being advised and supported by Startup Port @TUHH, among others – for example, in the start-up camp, where the first foundations for the business model were laid. With their innovative software solution, founders Jan Jeske (TUHH), Ollig Frank (TUHH), Jan Biewendt (FH Wedel) and Jill Gern (TUHH) secured second place at CODE 2025, a high-profile innovation conference for technological solutions of the future.
Styx's software addresses a central problem of digital AI systems: high energy consumption and dependence on digital infrastructures. By transferring to analogue circuits, the team aims to enable not only more efficient but also more secure AI applications – an approach that was very well received at CODE 2025.
