EETimes - Will Blaize Trailblaze Edge AI Market?

AI processing is changing the world order among CPU, GPU, and FPGA companies, with a host of AI processor startups joining the fray. The fight was once mostly in data centers, but they've all had to decamp to a new battlefield at the network edge. Driven by that premise, Blaize, an AI processor startup in El Dorado Hills, Calif., is heading straight to the edge with its just-announced AI hardware and software. The market forces sending AI inference to the edge are well understood. Privacy concerns, bandwidth issues (going back and forth between edge to cloud), latency and cost worries drive AI processing more and more edgeward.
