Blaize, a leader in programmable AI computing, and NeoTensr, a hardware and software system integrator, have announced a new $50 million contract to jointly develop and deploy co-branded AI edge data center infrastructure across the Asia Pacific region. The partnership will leverage Blaize's Hybrid AI architecture, which combines its Graph Streaming Processor (GSP) with GPU-based infrastructure to enable real-time computer vision workloads as well as advanced data analysis powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision Language Models (VLMs) - all within the same edge infrastructure.

Why it matters

The Asia Pacific region represents one of the most dynamic edge data center markets globally, as enterprises across industries demand more intelligent, responsive systems at the edge without routing data to distant cloud infrastructure. This partnership positions Blaize and NeoTensr to capitalize on this rapidly growing market by delivering a full-stack, production-ready AI platform optimized for real-world edge deployments.

The details

The co-branded AI servers will be based on Blaize's quad card configuration, capable of handling 200+ simultaneous camera streams with advanced AI analytics for applications like smart city surveillance, industrial automation, logistics, retail intelligence, and security. By combining Blaize's GSP and GPU capabilities, the edge data centers will be able to run both real-time computer vision workloads and sophisticated LLM and VLM-powered analytics on the same physical infrastructure, collapsing the traditional edge-cloud divide.

  • The new $50 million contract builds on the companies' existing partnership, which generated over $20 million in revenue for Blaize in Q4 2025.
  • NeoTensr is actively securing multiple edge data center projects across the Asia Pacific region, with Blaize's Hybrid AI platform as the compute foundation.

What they’re saying

“NeoTensr is not just deploying AI infrastructure — we are building the compute backbone that will power the next decade of intelligent cities, industrial systems, and data-driven enterprise across Asia Pacific. We evaluated every major AI platform in the market. Blaize was the only one that could deliver the performance, efficiency, and full-stack flexibility we needed to build at this scale and win. We are moving fast, the pipeline is deep, and this up to $50 million contract is the beginning of something much larger.”

— Liang Wang, CEO of NeoTensr

“What makes this deployment technically significant is that we are not partitioning the workload between edge and cloud — we are collapsing that boundary entirely. The Blaize GSP handles continuous yet dynamic, low-latency computer vision at the sensor layer, while our hybrid architecture simultaneously runs LLM and VLM inference on the same physical infrastructure. Processing 200+ camera streams per server with that level of analytical depth is not achievable on conventional hardware. NeoTensr recognized that, and it's why this platform will define the standard for intelligent edge data centers across the region.”

— Ke Yin, Co-Founder and Chief Scientist, Blaize

“The edge data center market in Asia Pacific is one of the clearest proof points that AI inference at the edge is not a future trend — it's happening now, at scale. NeoTensr's infrastructure buildout across the region is exactly the kind of deployment our Hybrid AI architecture was designed for: real-time, multi-stream, AI-dense environments where neither pure cloud nor legacy edge hardware can meet the demand. This is the market we built Blaize to win.”

— Dinakar Munagala, Co-Founder and CEO of Blaize
