Blaize secured two major contracts validating its Hybrid AI approach:
A $120M agreement with Starshine for sovereign-ready Hybrid AI infrastructure across Asia, with deployments starting in Q3 2025.
A $56M purchase order for South Asia smart infrastructure, enabling AI for 250,000 cameras, with $1.8M shipped and $4.6M backlog expected in 2025.
These contracts, set to be fulfilled by 2026, highlight demand for Blaize’s platform, with a $725M global pipeline, including $300M in advanced discussions.
The newly launched Blaize AI Platform is a programmable, plug-and-play solution for edge-to-cloud AI deployments. Combining GSP-based silicon, verticalized software stacks, and low-code/no-code SDKs, it reduces latency and costs for applications in smart cities, defense, logistics, and industrial automation. This platform positions Blaize to capitalize on the growing edge AI market.
Blaize projects Q3 2025 revenue of $11.0M-$11.5M, significantly above analyst estimates of $6.03M, and full-year 2025 revenue of $35.0M-$38.0M, compared to consensus of $24.93M.

CEO Dinakar Munagala emphasized scalability: “We’ve architected not just our products, but our company to scale.” Blaize is enhancing supply chain capacity, aligning technical milestones with billing, and advancing next-generation platform development to meet demand in Asia, the Americas, and the Gulf Region.
Blaize’s Q2 2025 results and strategic contracts signal a transition to execution, with the Blaize AI Platform driving growth in the Hybrid AI era. A conference call discussing these results is scheduled for August 14, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. PT, accessible via ir.blaize.com.
