I’m pretty sure it is the partners themselves that are solely responsible for the content they submit to the Arm ecosystem partner webpages.
Which means it is not Arm saying this about BrainChip, but instead Arm ecosystem partner BrainChip claiming this about themselves.
Most likely similar in the way to what Arm say in their Terms of Use about links to third party sites and resources from the their own website:
Terms of Use – Arm®
Arm web site terms and conditions of use cover information about Arm, web site access, use of and reliance on information posted, Arm's liability.
www.arm.com
Links from the Arm Website
Where the Arm Website contains links to other sites and resources provided by third parties, these links are provided for your information only.

Good evening from Perth...
It appears our old mates at Accenture Global Solutions Ltd have had a new Patent published just 3 weeks ago, naming us alongside Intel, but this time finally stating a true fact, Intel's Loihi is the research chip while we are the actual commercial chip, nice, finally
Maybe Dio or the crew have already posted this newish patent, but here is the link anyway.... when the f... will a company sign an IP contract...moan,
moan
Hi @TECH,
sorry to disillusion you, but this is not a new Accenture patent!
@Fullmoonfever had already posted about it more than a year ago.
This patent titled “Self-learning Neuromorphic Gesture Recognition Models” was filed on 22 November 2022 and first published on 23 May 2024:
https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-432356
I also recalled referring to it in a November 2024 post:
https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-442579
The only novel thing about the patent is that it has now finally been granted, after initially getting rejected back in February (cf. the meaning of B2 after the patent number as well as below patent history):
(…) naming us alongside Intel, but this time finally stating a true fact, Intel's Loihi is the research chip while we are the actual commercial chip, nice, finally
As far as I am aware, Accenture has referred to Intel’s Loihi as a “neuromorphic research chip” in all their relevant patents at some point. Please provide proof of the contrary, thank’s!

2025 A.I. Awards Shortlist | The A.I. Awards
A bit surprising to find “BrainChip Akida” shortlisted in three categories for
The Cloud Awards
These five awards programs celebrate excellence and innovation in the scope of cloud-based "solutions as a service". Organizations of any size, any vertical and any area of the world may apply for recognition as a Cloud Awards, SaaS Awards, Cloud Security Awards, A.I. Awards or FinTech Awards winner or nominee.The Software-as-a-Service Awards program concludes before the end of May. The Cloud Awards program concludes before the end of October. The Cloud Security Awards program concludes before the end of February. Typically this will be on the penultimate (second-to-last) Friday of the month. Extensions, if given, will incur a late-entry fee.
I vaguely recall our company were primarily targeting the extreme Edge, on-device processing, highlighting privacy and security by being unconnected to the Cloud etc.
So who nominated our company for an award celebrating ‘excellence and innovation in the scope of cloud-based "solutions as a service"’ in healthcare and cybersecurity?
At the same time I also wonder whether this might be an award program you actually need to pay for to be featured in?
I’ve come across a similar one before…

(…) As for neuromorphic research, we know that AFRL has been collaborating with both IBM and Intel for years.
While the AFRL Facilities Book FY25 doesn’t specify whether or not the “3UVPX heterogeneous computing” in their equipment list includes a 3U VPX board with a neuromorphic processor, it could theoretically even refer to IBM’s NorthPole in a 3U VPX form factor (aka NP-VPX):

The following October 2023 exchange on LinkedIn between IBM’s Dharmendra Modha and AFRL Principal Computer Scientist Mark Barnell (who is also named as the Embedded Edge Computing Lab’s Primary POC on page 66 of the AFRL Facilities Book FY25) on the release of NorthPole is evidence that the collaboration between AFRL and IBM did not end with the TrueNorth era.

Wow! That's interesting!!
China decided yesterday in reconsidering Al investment strategy.
99% Al companies do not make money so far.
99% Al revenues go to NVIDIA itself, across the globe.
The Al risk is escalating tremendously.

Hi @Baneino,
could you please share with us where you found evidence of that July 2023 IEEE ISVLSI conference paper titled “Comparative Analysis of Low-Power Anomaly Detection on Neuromorphic Chips for Controller Area Network (CAN) Data”, which you referred to in your above post?
Neither is it included in Tarek Taha’s extensive list of publications (which, while not quite up to date, should be exhaustive with respect to those published in 2023) nor could I find any trace of it when googling the paper’s title as such (except for your 28 July TSE post, that is).
The only conference paper listed on Tarek Taha’s website, which appears to be relevant to the topic, happens to be the 2024 paper “Unsupervised Anomaly Detection for Automotive CAN Bus on the Intel Loihi”:
This is also the only paper on this topic I was able to find under Simon Khan’s Google Scholar profile, who - according to you - is one of the other co-authors.
Said 2024 conference paper was not a comparative analysis, though, plus the authors stated in their abstract that “To the best of our knowledge, this is the first low-power, unsupervised anomaly detection system using the Loihi or any other neuromorphic processor”, which obviously wouldn’t make sense if they had already published an earlier paper comparing Loihi and Akida.
(https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10651224/)
Then there is also the 6 August 2025 conference paper titled “Anomaly Detection of CAN bus messages on neuromorphic hardware” that I referred to in April, which equally appears to contradict the existence of a prior comparative paper by the same authors (cf. section underlined in red):
It appears not everyone at AFRL resp. collaborating with AFRL would agree that Akida is always the superior choice:
