28 Jan
Summary
- Blaize and Nokia will explore joint AI development for Asia Pacific markets.
- The partnership focuses on edge and hybrid AI inference systems.
- The collaboration aims to enable reliable AI operations at the edge.
Blaize Holdings, Inc. and Nokia Solutions and Networks Singapore Pte. Ltd. have entered into a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) focused on the Asia Pacific markets. This agreement establishes a framework for the joint exploration, development, and deployment of Practical AI and Physical AI systems designed for real-world operation.
The collaboration will merge Nokia's leadership in networking, automation, and cloud infrastructure with Blaize's programmable AI inference platform. The primary goal is to enable Real World AI that can operate reliably at the edge and across hybrid environments where critical factors like latency, power efficiency, and operational resilience are paramount.
Key areas of collaboration include edge and hybrid AI inference use cases, integrating Blaize's platform with Nokia's networking and automation systems. They will also develop reference architectures and solution blueprints. Joint validation for telecom, industrial, and smart infrastructure environments, alongside go-to-market initiatives, are planned. This partnership underscores a shared belief that the future of AI adoption lies in inference at scale, not solely model training.
