"By combining CELUS's proven system design expertise with BrainChip's Akida neuromorphic technology, we're giving customers a faster path to design smarter, low-power products.”— Steve BrightfieldLAGUNA HILLS, CA, UNITED STATES, July 22, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — BrainChip Holdings Ltd. (ASX: BRN, OTCQX: BRCHF, ADR: BCHPY), the first company to commercially produce neuromorphic artificial intelligence technology, and CELUS, the leading cloud-based electronics design automation provider, today announced a major integration agreement that will bring commercial neuromorphic edge AI directly into standard hardware design workflows.
This collaboration brings together BrainChip’s pioneering neuromorphic silicon and CELUS’s AI-powered design automation, uniting two complementary leaders to eliminate the traditional obstacles to edge-native silicon integration. As a result of this partnership, BrainChip’s AKD1500 neuromorphic processor and the M.2 module will be available in August on the CELUS Design Platform. Once the integration is live, engineers will be able to start creating smart devices immediately, bypassing the complexities that have historically hindered neuromorphic adoption.
A Partnership Designed To Accelerate The Move To Edge AI
The global edge AI ecosystem is growing quickly. Driven by the essential requirements of zero-latency response, strict data privacy, bandwidth conservation, and strong power-efficiency mandates, conventional cloud computing models are shifting workloads back to the physical device.
“Putting BrainChip’s AKD1500 on the CELUS Design Platform is about giving engineers around the world a direct path to start building with neuromorphic AI from day one,” said Rob Telson, vice president of global sales at CELUS. “This partnership brings two pioneering technologies together so that neuromorphic intelligence will be just a few clicks away for any design team.”
Leveraging Combined Strengths To Address Surging Demand For AI-assisted Design
As electronic systems become more complex, engineering teams face increasing pressure to shorten development cycles while maintaining design quality. The CELUS Design Platform enables engineering teams to move from system requirements to a structured hardware architecture, using AI-assisted guidance and reusable design knowledge to explore implementation options, generate schematics and bills of materials, and continue development in their preferred design environment, reducing this phase from months to days.
Through this partnership, CELUS will embed the AKD1500 architecture into its platform, eliminating the technical learning curve that has historically accompanied neuromorphic chip deployment. Hardware engineers will no longer need to spend weeks studying data sheets; the platform will guide configuration of the AKD1500 from the very beginning of development.
“"By combining CELUS's proven system design expertise with BrainChip's Akida neuromorphic technology, we're giving customers a faster path to design smarter, low-power products," said Steven Brightfield, chief product officer at BrainChip. "Together with CELUS, we can help teams cut development time and risk while bringing differentiated AI features to market sooner. This partnership is a defining step in making neuromorphic AI mainstream."
Broadening Access For A Worldwide Engineering Community
The partnership links BrainChip’s neuromorphic architecture with the expanding network of engineers, supply chain partners, and design ecosystems already utilizing the CELUS Design Platform. For both organizations, this collaboration will extend the AKD1500’s presence to a global base of hardware teams evaluating edge AI options for the first time. In August, when the integration becomes available, engineers everywhere will have a faster, guided path to embed neuromorphic intelligence into commercial devices.
