Blaize GSP technology, designed specifically for AI inferencing, is a lower-power, lower-cost alternative to GPUs. Combining Blaize’s high-efficiency GSPs with OrionVM’s high-performance InfiniBand networking creates an ideal environment for low-latency, high-throughput AI and data processing workloads. The multi-tiered architecture of OrionVM allows for flexible resource allocation and efficient scaling, enabling companies to optimize their infrastructure costs while maintaining performance. Additionally, OrionVM’s white-labeling capability allows service providers to customize and brand their offerings, extending tailored solutions to customers while leveraging the power and efficiency of Blaize GSPs hosted on OrionVM’s infrastructure.

“This collaboration represents a major milestone in our mission to democratize access to AI technology, enabling companies of all sizes to deploy and scale AI-powered applications more easily and cost-effectively than ever before.”

This integration provides a comprehensive, performance-driven cloud solution for enterprises handling complex AI, analytics, and data-intensive tasks. Customers can now access Blaize’s hardware and software directly from the cloud, removing traditional barriers to adoption, such as hardware procurement and setup time, and significantly reducing time-to-market for AI-driven solutions.

Key Features of the Partnership:

• Cloud-based AI Hardware: Blaize’s powerful edge computing devices, such as the Blaize Pathfinder and Xplorer platforms, will be available as cloud-hosted services, enabling users to leverage the full capabilities of AI processing without requiring physical hardware on-site.
• Software-Driven AI Acceleration: Blaize’s cutting-edge AI software development platform, including the open-source Blaize AI Studio, will fully integrate into OrionVM, offering users a comprehensive toolset to develop, test, and deploy AI applications directly from the cloud.
• Scalability and Flexibility: OrionVM’s highly efficient and flexible cloud infrastructure allows businesses to dynamically scale their AI operations according to demand, providing on-demand resources for large-scale AI projects and pay-as-you-go pricing models. OrionVM’s robust cloud infrastructure, combined with GSP inferencing capabilities, ensures that applications can be deployed with low latency and high performance worldwide, providing ISVs the flexibility to grow and adapt as business needs evolve.
• Privacy/Security. Blaize and OrionVM offer a secure, private environment for AI workloads. Allowing clients to retain full control of their data, models, and output using Blaize GSP on an OrionVM private cloud deployment without requiring disclosure to expensive, limited public models. OrionVM’s product suite is a one-stop shop for hosting and securing every component along an AI journey.
