Blaize and PT Datacomm Diangraha signed a memorandum of understanding on April 21 to explore selling AI inference systems in Indonesia. (prnewswire.com) The companies said the alliance would pair Blaize’s AI hardware and software with Datacomm’s cloud and datacenter business, starting with Datacomm’s enterprise customers. The signing took place at GITEX Asia 2026 in Singapore. (prnewswire.com) AI inference is the step where a trained model answers a live request — like reading a camera feed or flagging a defect on a factory line — rather than learning from scratch. Blaize said the first use cases under discussion include physical AI, public safety, surveillance, industrial automation, logistics, and an “AI inference as a service” offering on Datacomm’s DCloud platform. (prnewswire.com) The pitch is speed and location: run AI closer to where data is created instead of shipping every video stream or sensor reading back to a distant cloud. Datacomm says it operates private, hybrid, public, and multi-cloud services in Indonesia and has spent more than 30 years building IT infrastructure for enterprise, government, military, and telecom customers. (datacomm.co.id, datacomm.co.id) Indonesia is the draw. Blaize cited an Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison and Twimbit report that said sovereign AI could add as much as $140 billion to Indonesia’s gross domestic product by 2030, and the company described the country as one of Asia Pacific’s fastest-growing AI markets. (prnewswire.com) For Blaize, the Indonesia deal extends a run of Asia-focused announcements in April. In the past week, the company also disclosed a strategic collaboration with Winmate and a contract with NeoTensr worth up to $50 million to deploy edge AI infrastructure across Asia Pacific. (prnewswire.com, marketwatch.com) The company also needs commercial traction. Blaize reported $38.6 million in 2025 revenue, up from $1.6 million in 2024, while its March 24 filings said it remained an emerging growth company and continued to post heavy losses. (publicnow.com, sec.gov, ir.blaize.com) The agreement with Datacomm is still an MOU, not a disclosed purchase order. If the talks turn into deployments, Blaize gets a local channel into Indonesian customers, and Datacomm gets another AI product to layer onto its cloud and datacenter stack.
