Introducing the Blaize AI Platform: Real-Time Intelligence at the Edge, Built for the Real World
In mission-critical environments – from smart cities and industrial plants, to airports and defense command centers – decisions must be made smartly, securely, and without the vulnerabilities of cloud dependence. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the Blaize AI Platform, a purpose-built, edge-native solution engineered to deliver multi-modal intelligence for mission-critical workloads across industries.
Why We Built the Blaize AI Platform
Modern edge environments generate vast volumes of data from disparate sources, including video, audio, sensors, and more. Traditional AI architectures often struggle to process that data without costly cloud offloading or GPU-heavy setups. At Blaize, we took a different path.
Our new AI Platform is engineered to fuse and process multiple data types on-device, dramatically reducing latency, power consumption, and infrastructure complexity. The result? Smarter decisions, right where they matter most.
Real-World Performance Enabled by Industry Collaboration
Blaize is launching its platform alongside a growing set of collaborators whose AI software is optimized to run on Blaize’s energy-efficient silicon. These companies are enabling complete AI workflows across edge environments—making the platform faster to deploy, more intelligent in operation, and easier to scale. These partners include:
VSaaS.ai – AI Management Platform for Video Workloads
VSaaS.ai provides a no-code interface to configure, deploy, and monitor AI video pipelines. The company’s solution is natively integrated with Blaize to support remote configuration, model updates, and zero-touch provisioning across distributed sites.
“Our collaboration with Blaize makes real-time, site-specific AI truly scalable,” said Francisco Soto, CEO of VSaaS.ai. “The ability to run diverse models with low latency and low power across thousands of endpoints is what sets this platform apart.”
CVEDIA – Synthetic Data and Pre-Trained Models
CVEDIA’s video analytics software uses synthetic data to deploy precise AI models for object detection, motion tracking, and forensic search — all on compact devices compatible with platforms like Milestone. Integrated with the Blaize AI platform, it empowers security teams to enhance situational awareness, cut false positives, and reduce risk without overhauling existing infrastructure.
“Partnering with Blaize enables enterprises and system integrators using existing video management systems to unlock the power of AI video analytics — without the need for costly infrastructure upgrades,” said Arjan Wijnveen, CEO of CVEDIA. “This is especially important for organizations with tight budgets or existing investments in legacy systems.”
Thrive Logic – Operational AI for Safety, Compliance, and Logistics
Thrive Logic builds custom AI workflows for operational environments—ranging from predictive maintenance to hazard detection. Their AI logic engines run efficiently on Blaize, even in offline or constrained conditions.
“Our platform supports high-stakes environments where every second counts — whether it’s compliance, logistics, or real-time threat detection,” said Nate Green, CEO of Thrive Logic. “What makes Blaize a key part of our stack is the ability to run rugged, real-time AI pipelines without solely relying on GPUs. That kind of deploy-anywhere intelligence is essential to our mission.”
AlwaysAI – Developer-Centric Vision Toolkits
AlwaysAI provides tools, APIs, and model libraries for computer vision developers to accelerate time-to-solution. AlwaysAI’s software runs natively on Blaize chips, enabling teams to build and deploy on-device AI applications quickly.
“Blaize’s edge AI technology gives alwaysAI the efficiency and performance needed to deploy industrial vision applications at scale,” said Steven Longley, CEO of AlwaysAI. “Our partnership ensures reliable, real-time AI at the edge—close to where the work gets done.”
OrionVM – Infrastructure-as-Code for Edge and Hybrid AI
OrionVM offers a customizable edge-to-cloud infrastructure stack that supports Blaize hardware for real-time inference. Together, the systems enable highly responsive AI deployment across distributed compute locations.
“By working closely with Blaize, we’re enabling flexible infrastructure for AI where it matters most,” said Sheng Yeo, CEO of OrionVM. “The result is a hybrid AI foundation with greater efficiency and control.”
Videonetics – AI-Enhanced Video Management System
Videonetics integrates AI-driven analytics into its secure, scalable video management software for cities, airports, and critical infrastructure. Their platform is validated on Blaize for performance, concurrency, and energy efficiency.
“Blaize brings powerful, low-power inference to our next-generation VMS—enabling city-scale visibility and real-time response,” said Dr. Tinku Acharya, Chairman and Founder of Videonetics. “This collaboration empowers us to deliver scalable, energy-efficient AI solutions for smart cities and critical infrastructure around the world—meeting the growing demand for real-time intelligence without the burden of high compute costs.”
VSBLTY – Retail Intelligence & Public Safety
VSBLTY delivers advanced audience analytics and real-time security software to retail environments, venues, and public infrastructure. By operating directly on the Blaize AI Platform, VSBLTY is able to offer high-performance video inference without cloud reliance or heavy infrastructure.
“Blaize’s edge-native platform gives us the compute efficiency and real-time inference we need at scale,” said Jay Hutton, CEO of VSBLTY. “This collaboration is unlocking smarter environments, safer venues, and deeper insight in the moment.”
Supermicro – Scalable, Rack-Mounted Edge AI
For larger-scale deployments, Blaize is now available through Supermicro’s 1U server system featuring 24 Blaize® GSP® Xplorer® X1600 EDSFF accelerators. This compact powerhouse delivers high-density inference for citywide or industrial networks, all while minimizing power and cooling demands. The solution enables seamless orchestration across critical sectors and is complementary to existing GPU infrastructure where appropriate.
