Blaize taps DeepSeek hype for edge AI
Blaize is looking to tap into the hype around the latest smaller AI models for its edge AI chip and no-code software.
The company, with a design team in the UK, went public through a special purpose vehicle (SPAC) called BurTech that completed two weeks ago and says it is sharpening its focus on efficiently executing smaller, cost-effective models that meet diverse application demands without sacrificing performance.
Blaize says it has strong traction with over $400 million in a qualified pipeline of prospective customers it expects to engage in 2025 and a global footprint with Tier 1 supply chain relationships.
“As the AI industry shifts from traditional data centre processing to more agile and scalable physical world AI applications, Blaize is well-positioned to introduce groundbreaking innovations that address complex challenges in defense, smart cities, emergency response, healthcare, robotics, autonomous systems, and more,” said Blaize CEO Dinakar Munagala.

The recent release of DeepSeek-V3 shows a set of smaller, dynamically executed expert models performs better and more efficiently than a large, dense model. Computing on less-structured, sparsely accessed data using efficient low-precision operations is precisely the kind of work Blaize programmable devices enable in the physical world, it said.
“Blaize solutions represent a transformative approach to AI processing, delivering unmatched efficiency and cost savings compared to overpowered alternatives, especially in scenarios where edge computing excels,” said Dmitry Zakharchenko, the Chief Software Officer for Blaize.
The Blaize Graph Streaming Processor (GSP) architecture enables real-time data processing and analytics across diverse environments, delivering the agility and speed necessary for today’s physical AI applications. From optimizing traffic in smart cities to improving operations in critical defense situations, Blaize empowers organizations to fully harness AI’s potential in scalable and sustainable ways.
“Our innovations address real-world challenges by bringing physical AI to the edge, where it’s needed most,” said Munagala. “This approach allows us to remain competitive in a fast-paced market while setting the standard for efficiency and precision“Our technology is a game-changer for industries seeking to deploy AI where it matters most.”
