(NASDAQ: BLZE), the storage platform powering AI and data-intensive workloads, will exhibit and present as a Platinum sponsor at Ai4 2026, Aug. 4–6 at The Venetian Las Vegas. Ai4 is the largest AI event in North America and convenes roughly 12,000 attendees around applied AI use cases spanning GenAI, agentic AI, physical AI, world models, and AI infrastructure. At Booth #1248, the company will showcase how high-throughput object storage keeps GPUs fed across multi-petabyte AI workloads in the cloud and on-premises. **Product Showcase: Powered by Backblaze** The Powered by Backblaze service lets neocloud platforms and GenAI companies, as well as software providers and technology partners, embed B2 Cloud Storage directly into their own platforms — provisioning accounts, running usage reports, and billing customers under their own brand via the Backblaze Partner API. Partners get enterprise-grade object storage without building or operating the infrastructure themselves. Edge computing platform Azion runs on this model, embedding Powered by Backblaze into its Edge Storage product and migrating nearly 1PB of customer data to B2 — all without building or maintaining its own storage infrastructure. **Product Showcase: B2 Overdrive** Backblaze B2 Overdrive is the company’s high-throughput object storage built for multi-petabyte datasets and multimodal AI workloads. B2 delivers up to 1Tbps of throughput, with unlimited egress and unlimited API transactions folded into a single predictable monthly price. Less than six months after launching, B2 Overdrive was recognized as a winner in SiliconANGLE's 2025 TechForward Awards in the Cloud Tech—Cloud Networking category. It sits alongside Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage, the company's always-hot, S3-compatible object storage. Backblaze B2 supports production AI workloads for customers including CoreWeave, Mirage, Decart, and Segmed. **Expert Speaking Session: Pipelines, Provenance, and Storage for GenAI Media at Scale** Backblaze Director of Applied AI Jeronimo De Leon will lead a session, *"Pipelines, Provenance, and Storage for GenAI Media at Scale,"* on Tuesday, Aug. 4 at 4:40 p.m. PT. AI training data runs video, audio, and images at multi-petabyte scale — and moves nothing like the flat files pipelines were built for. Teams don't bet on one model provider. They build a portfolio, with fallbacks, allowing data to move constantly between storage and GPU capacity, across cloud and on-premises, across a half-dozen vendors. That movement can be the expensive part to predict — not the storage. De Leon's session covers how teams are building pipelines for that reality — and why storage, not compute, is becoming the long-term bet. “More teams are building data pipelines they expect to change,” De Leon said. “Generative media workloads are incredibly dynamic and the storage architecture underneath has to assume that from day one. My session will focus on how these pipelines actually get built, where the costs land, and what teams change once those costs are visible.” **Supporting Women in AI** Backblaze is a sponsor of the Women in AI Reception, taking place Tuesday, Aug. 4 from 4:00–5:00 p.m. PT. Attendees can visit Booth #1248 or book a meeting with the Backblaze team at the show. **About Backblaze** Backblaze (NASDAQ: BLZE) is the object storage layer powering AI and data-intensive workloads at scale.
