EL DORADO HILLS, CA and SINGAPORE, Apr 8, 2026 – Blaize and Nokia are developing, integrating, and validating hybrid AI infrastructure at the Nokia Network Innovation Lab in Singapore. The engagement combines Blaize’s AI platform with Nokia’s networking infrastructure to test system integration and performance.
