Blaize and Nokia Sign MoU to Develop Hybrid AI Solutions Across Asia-Pacific

Blaize and Nokia have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on hybrid AI inference solutions across the Asia-Pacific region, announced in a press release. The agreement outlines joint exploration, development, and deployment of AI systems designed for real-world applications, combining Nokia's networking and cloud infrastructure expertise with Blaize's programmable AI inference platform.

The collaboration will focus on edge and hybrid AI use cases, integrating Blaize's Hybrid AI platform with Nokia's IP and data center networking systems. The companies plan to create reference architectures and solution blueprints positioning Blaize's technology as a complementary AI inference layer alongside Nokia's networking infrastructure.

Both firms will jointly validate AI inference deployments for telecommunications, industrial, and smart infrastructure environments, and conduct workshops, pilot programs, and solution demonstrations. The initiative aims to enable energy-efficient and scalable AI inference closer to where data is generated, enhancing performance and operational resilience across hybrid environments.

The non-binding MOU establishes a cooperative framework for future projects and potential definitive agreements to support secure and production-ready AI deployments throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
