Note on prior coverage: White Diamond Research's 30 April 2026 brief is the third short report published on Blaize Holdings in nine months. It builds on, and explicitly references, Ragnarok Research's report of 8 August 2025 (which White Diamond states was published under threat) and Pelican Bay Research's report of 28 April 2026. Activ8 has covered the prior reports separately; this summary captures only White Diamond's findings.

Blaize Holdings is a publicly traded company that markets itself as an artificial intelligence infrastructure provider, announcing multi-million-dollar contracts to deploy AI edge computing and hybrid AI data center hardware across Asia. The company carries a nine-figure market capitalisation and is the subject of an SEC EDGAR filing trail that White Diamond cites repeatedly throughout the report.

Exchange and headquarters country are not stated in the White Diamond report and are listed here based on Activ8's prior coverage.

Business Model

According to White Diamond, Blaize's reported business consists almost entirely of large headline contracts with a small number of Asian counterparties to supply AI edge data centre infrastructure. The company has issued press releases announcing a 120 million dollar agreement with Starshine Computing in July 2025 and a separate contract of up to 50 million dollars with NeoTensr in April 2026. White Diamond contends that very little cash has actually been collected against these announcements, that quarterly losses exceed 20 million dollars, and that legitimate revenue is "close to zero" once the disputed contracts are set aside.

White Diamond's Key Allegations

  • 01

    White Diamond points to consistent, large-scale insider selling alongside quarterly losses in excess of 20 million dollars on what the firm describes as unexplained spending. The firm argues that legitimate revenue at Blaize is close to zero once the disputed Asian customer contracts are excluded.

  • 02

    The firm flags that Blaize's management and disclosed customer base are entirely concentrated in Asia, with no diversified Western customer roster supporting the AI edge computing narrative the company sells to U.S. retail investors.

  • 03

    White Diamond cites the prior Starshine Computing relationship as a direct precedent. Blaize announced a 120 million dollar agreement with Starshine on 17 July 2025 to deliver "Scalable Hybrid AI Infrastructure Across Asia," but the firm states the company has reported receiving only 1.6 million dollars of that amount. Starshine is described as "proved to be a fraud" and was mentioned only once on the Q4 2025 earnings call, as a dismissal in response to an analyst question.

  • 04

    White Diamond alleges that Blaize is now repeating the Starshine playbook with a new counterparty called NeoTensr. The firm notes that on 16 April 2026 Blaize announced a contract of up to 50 million dollars with NeoTensr under a near-identical headline, that 20 million dollars in NeoTensr-linked sales were booked in Q4 2025 and the 2025 annual report on 24 March 2026, that no cash has been reported received against those sales, and that NeoTensr has only one publicly known employee, a CEO named Liang Wang who has no public history outside of Blaize's own press releases. White Diamond adds that NeoTensr's website domain was registered in December 2025 and that Chinese filings show only roughly 2 million dollars in capital.

  • 05

    White Diamond states that Blaize management has not publicly responded to either the Ragnarok Research report of 8 August 2025 or the Pelican Bay Research report of 28 April 2026. The firm further claims that Ragnarok received threats over its publication, prompting Ragnarok to take its report down and White Diamond to repost it. The stock fell from above 6 dollars in October 2025 to below 1 dollar by March 2026 before a partial rebound on the NeoTensr revenue print.
