The joint development will provide AI-based computer vision solutions designed for the high demands of challenging defense and national security environments
Blaize Holdings, Inc., a provider of purpose-built, artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled edge computing solutions, and VSBLTY Groupe Technologies Corp., a leading software provider of AI-driven security and retail analytics technology, announced they have entered into a joint technology commercial agreement for the development and deployment of complete AI-enabled safety and security solutions.
The companies have been collaborating on several commercial deals that have resulted in a commercial agreement for Blaize to support VSBLTY on the development costs associated with optimizing VSBLTY software on Blaize silicon. VSBLTY has issued a Purchase Order to Blaize, the fulfillment of which is subject to several conditions related to production deployment and performance criteria.
The agreement includes the establishment of a technology center to create practical AI architectural hybrid designs. The initial milestone is the successful creation of a Digital Twin Lab environment demonstrating AI computer vision solutions specifically for large-scale safety, security, and defense-based contracts. This initiative is expected to provide deployable solutions today while maintaining unique flexibility to adapt to the rapidly evolving innovations in the AI landscape over time.

“This is an exciting day for Blaize as we forge ahead with VSBLTY to bring our combined solution to market to achieve a significant impact on our ability to drive both scalability and major cost efficiency in these critically important security deployments. Our smart cameras will largely be deployed outdoors and primarily in rugged, far-edge environments needed for municipal and national security projects that require extensive field deployments using thousands of surveillance cameras (in some cases over 25,000),” said Dinakar Munagala, CEO of Blaize. “Our combined solution is already considered a key component in several pending contracts, including border control programs where far-edge capability is crucial.”
“We are extremely honored to be selected as Blaize’s AI computer vision partner to create solutions that aid law enforcement and armed forces to better understand and respond to various incidents and threats,” said Jay Hutton, CEO of VSBLTY. “The exact nature of the analytics and application requirements will evolve over time and will require flexible and scalable underlying architecture and component technologies, making our collaboration and co-development partnership critical to the future success of large, long-term security deployments.”
