On August 13, Blaize Holdings slashed its full-year revenue outlook from $130 million to a range of $40–$43 million. Executives attributed the shortfall to commercial opportunities failing to materialize, alongside customer delays and rising memory costs. The company acknowledged that its previous reliance on a "regular cadence" of purchase orders from existing clients proved overly optimistic.

Financial disclosures revealed significant issues with key partners. A $10.4 million receivable from Starshine remains largely unpaid, forcing Blaize to fully reserve the balance and halt future engagements with the client. Meanwhile, the company’s relationship with NeoTensr has shifted; while a previous $23.8 million receivable was settled, the firm has moved to a "take-or-pay" arrangement to secure future revenue. Blaize has also abandoned its previously reported pipeline metrics, admitting they lacked a reliable correlation with actual future earnings.
