Blaize Secures $120M Contract for Hybrid AI Infrastructure in Asia

Blaize has secured a $120 million contract to deploy its hybrid AI platform across Asia in collaboration with Starshine Computing Power Technology Limited. The initiative will begin in fiscal Q3 2025 and continue through 2026, focusing initially on smart city applications.

The collaboration aims to implement scalable hybrid AI systems to support smart cities, industrial automation, and intelligent public services across key countries such as India, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, and China. The deployment will leverage Blaize's GSP®-based AI platform, designed to enhance energy efficiency and real-time decision-making at the edge.

The agreement highlights the growing demand for localized AI infrastructure in Asia's rapidly developing economies, with Blaize and Starshine planning to expand their software development efforts to penetrate additional industries. This rollout is expected to reduce energy consumption and lower the total cost of ownership while processing multimodal data streams efficiently.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
