Blaize\u2019s hybrid AI architecture combines edge inference and centralized analytics for efficient, scalable solutions in dynamic urban environments.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Key use cases include traffic management, license plate recognition, speed and behavioral analytics, and multimodal sensor fusion. Blaize\u2019s Graph Streaming Processor (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.blaize.com\/technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GSP<\/a>) and multimodal inference architecture were critical to its selection for this project.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is proof that real-world AI transformation is happening now,\u201d says Dinakar Munagala, Co-founder and CEO of Blaize. \u201cIt reflects the strength of our technology and validates our approach to purpose-built, hybrid AI at the physical edge \u2013 bringing together edge inference and centralized intelligence to deliver meaningful outcomes. Blaize is proud to support the infrastructure powering this next wave of intelligent systems across rapidly growing smart city ecosystems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Initial revenue of $6M is expected in Q2 and Q3 of fiscal 2025, with further expansion planned through 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRelated\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tArticle Topics<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgeir.com\/tag\/ai-surveillance\" rel=\"tag noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AI surveillance<\/a> \u00a0|\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgeir.com\/tag\/ai-ml\" rel=\"tag noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AI\/ML<\/a> \u00a0|\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgeir.com\/tag\/edge-ai\" rel=\"tag noopener\" target=\"_blank\">edge AI<\/a> \u00a0|\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgeir.com\/tag\/smart-cities\" rel=\"tag noopener\" target=\"_blank\">smart cities<\/a> \u00a0|\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgeir.com\/tag\/traffic-analytics\" rel=\"tag noopener\" target=\"_blank\">traffic analytics<\/a> \u00a0|\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgeir.com\/tag\/urban-public-safety\" rel=\"tag noopener\" target=\"_blank\">urban public safety<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Blaize, an AI-enabled edge computing solution provider, announced a $56M contract to deploy its edge AI platform across&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":253284,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3164],"tags":[97471,26000,3284,15497,58695,53,97472,16,15,97473],"class_list":{"0":"post-253283","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-computing","8":"tag-ai-surveillance","9":"tag-ai-ml","10":"tag-computing","11":"tag-edge-ai","12":"tag-smart-cities","13":"tag-technology","14":"tag-traffic-analytics","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom","17":"tag-urban-public-safety"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114828580349022050","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253283","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=253283"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253283\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/253284"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=253283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=253283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=253283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
