| Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
| Organization and Description of Business | Organization and Description of Business Blaize Holdings, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Blaize,” or the “Company”) is headquartered in El Dorado Hills, California. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company provides purpose-built, transformative artificial intelligence (“AI”)-enabled edge computing solutions comprised of both its proprietary hardware and software, and complementary third-party hardware solutions, as further described below. In addition to its internally developed products, the Company also delivers third-party hardware solutions that complement and enhance its core offerings. These third-party hardware solutions typically are substantially comprised of servers, which are selected to ensure optimal compatibility and performance with the Company’s products and AI-enabled platforms. The Company’s portfolio includes highly efficient programmable AI processors in a broad range of form factors, deployable across several verticals, including smart city, defense, retail and enterprise markets. The Company’s accelerated AI computing platforms enable applications such as computer vision, advanced video analytics, and AI inference, and the Company’s software tools allow non-expert practitioners to deploy existing and novel AI applications on the Company’s hardware without the need for customers to learn or use source code. Interim Financial Statements The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations and financial position, have been included. The results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any future period. The following information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
|
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates based on assumptions about current and, for some estimates, future economic and market conditions, which affect reported amounts and related disclosures in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Although current estimates contemplate current and expected future conditions, as applicable, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could differ from management’s expectations, which could materially affect the Company’s results of operations and financial position.
|
| Recently Adopted Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Previously identified ASUs that are also currently applicable or material to the Company’s future consolidated financial statements are discussed in Note 3 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
|
| Fair Value Measurements | The Company uses a fair value hierarchy established by GAAP that is used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. This hierarchy prioritizes relevant market inputs in order to determine an “exit price” at the measurement date, or the price at which an asset could be sold or a liability could be transferred in an orderly process that is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale. Level 1 inputs are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices for an asset or liability that are obtained through corroboration with observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs (e.g., the Company’s own data or assumptions) that are used when there is little, if any, relevant market activity for the asset or liability required to be measured at fair value. In certain cases, inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level at which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability being measured. As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s valuation policy and processes had not changed from those described in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. Included in Note 5 — “Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Instruments” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 in the Annual Report on Form 10-K is a detailed description of the Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value and their significant inputs, as well as the classification of such instruments pursuant to the Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 valuation hierarchy. Carrying amounts that approximate fair value The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable (including from related parties), prepaid expenses and other current assets, deferred tax assets, operating lease right-of-use assets, other assets, accounts payable, accrued trade payables, accrued expenses and other current liabilities (including to related parties), working capital loan - related party, and advances from related party all approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities.

| Derivative Instruments | Derivative Instruments The Company does not use derivatives to manage financial risks or as an economic hedge. The essential characteristics inherent in a derivative instrument are that the instrument is issued for no or nominal consideration, and also include the aspects of an underlying security, a notional amount, and a mechanism for net settlement. None of the Company’s derivative instruments are classified as hedging instruments, and all are marked to fair value at each quarterly period. After the Merger and during the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s derivatives were comprised of: •The Other Earnout Shares, representing a freestanding structured forward contract; •The Polar warrants, representing a freestanding liability-classified derivative instrument; and •The Committed Equity Facility, which upon execution on July 14, 2025, was considered a freestanding purchased put right, which put right was subsequently considered nominal and marked to zero during 2025. Each draw on the Committed Equity Facility is considered an embedded forward contract. No draws on the Committed Equity Facility were outstanding as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.
|
| Net Loss per Share of Common Stock | Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration of potentially dilutive securities. The Company uses the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities, and the if-converted method to determine the dilutive effect of any potentially dilutive convertible securities, as the Company’s only participating securities are shares of the Company’s common stock, and any dividends declared on the common stock would be forfeitable if not vested. There were no potentially dilutive securities included in the Company’s diluted net loss per share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, as the effect of any potentially dilutive security would have been anti-dilutive due to the net losses in those periods.
|
| Segment Reporting | The Company operates as a single operating and reportable segment. “Operating segments” are defined as components of the Company that engage in business activities with distinct financial information that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM is its chief executive officer, who regularly reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for the purpose of making decisions and assessing financial performance, as the Company’s products and services have similar economic characteristics. The financial information received by the CODM focuses primarily on total available cash and cash equivalents, total revenue, significant expenses, net loss, and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), and EBITDA as further adjusted for certain non-cash items and other adjustments that the CODM does not consider in their evaluation of ongoing operating performance from period to period (“Adjusted EBITDA”), to make decisions regarding the Company’s strategy, including the allocation of resources, as well as the Company’s assessment of operating performance. As the Company operates as a single operating segment, the measures of total available cash and cash equivalents, total revenue and net loss, as reviewed by the CODM, are set forth on the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as in certain notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 4 — “Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Instruments” for details regarding the Company’s cash equivalents. See Note 3 — “Revenue and Accounts Receivable” for details regarding the Company’s total revenue disaggregated by customer geographical location and the major customer concentrations of the Company’s total revenue and accounts receivable balances. Similarly, as the Company operates in a single segment, the condensed consolidated statements of operations provide one view of the Company’s significant expenses.
