Blaize and Nokia advance collaboration with joint reference architecture

Source: Blaize. Blaize and Nokia are progressing their joint validation and ecosystem engagement across Asia Pacific.

Blaize Holdings, a global provider of programmable, energy-efficient AI computing is going to the next phase in a collaboration with Nokia.

As part of this new phase, the Blaize and the Nokia Network Innovation Lab in Singapore are advancing a joint reference architecture — a pre-integrated, validated solution framework that combines Blaize’s AI platform with Nokia’s networking and infrastructure capabilities. The reference is intended to support real-world deployment scenarios across edge and data centre environments, providing a foundation for evaluation, integration, and ecosystem collaboration.

These initiatives are part of ongoing engagement efforts to evaluate how hybrid AI architectures can be applied to real-world environments where latency, power efficiency, and scalability are critical.

“This next phase reflects continued progress in our collaboration with Nokia across Asia-Pacific,” said Joseph Sulistyo, Senior VP of Corporate Marketing at Blaize.

“Through the Innovation Lab and joint solution efforts, we are focused on validating how hybrid AI infrastructure can support real-world applications and enable scalable deployment models across the region.”

“Our collaboration with Blaize continues to evolve as we engage with customers and ecosystem partners across Asia-Pacific,” said Dion Leung, Head of AI and Cloud, Asia Pacific at Nokia.

“By combining networking infrastructure with AI inference platforms, we are exploring new approaches to support AI workloads across distributed environments.”

The collaboration will be highlighted at GITEX Asia 2026 in Singapore (April 9–10).
