Proposed five-year commercial arrangement would support large-scale AI inference workloads and token optimization, subject to definitive agreements
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / August 25, 2026 / Alset AI Ventures Inc. (TSXV:GPUS)(OTCQB:GPUSF)(FSE:1R61, WKN:A40M0J) (“Alset AI”, “Alset” or the “Company”), an artificial intelligence (“AI”) venture company advancing innovation through strategic investment and cloud computing solutions, is pleased to announce that its 90.1%-owned cloud compute business, Lyken AI Computing Inc., operating as Lyken.AI (“Lyken”), has entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding dated August 24, 2026 (the “MOU”) with Singapore-based SWARMNET SOLUTIONS PTE. LTD. (“Swarmnet”).
The MOU outlines an indicative framework for the parties to pursue a potential long-term commercial arrangement under which Lyken would lease, host, manage and/or otherwise make available a 128-node B300 AI compute cluster to Swarmnet for inference workloads, together with token optimization services and related commercial agreements. The contemplated service is intended to support Lyken’s broader Platform-as-a-Service strategy, combining managed compute with server and token optimization.
The contemplated arrangement would have an indicative five-year term beginning at service commencement, with aggregate indicative revenues to be determined and disclosed upon execution of definitive agreements. The final hardware configuration, deployment location and schedule, networking, storage, reserve capacity, acceptance testing, service levels, support requirements and other commercial terms would be established only in definitive agreements.
“A potential 128-node B300 deployment represents the type of enterprise-scale opportunity Lyken is pursuing as it builds its AI platform pipeline,” said Adam Ingrao, Chief Executive Officer of Alset AI. “Our strategy is to deliver an integrated Platform-as-a-Service offering, not infrastructure alone. Lyken continues to develop and refine its server and token optimization capabilities, with the objective of improving utilization and strengthening platform economics. The MOU remains preliminary and non-binding, and advancing the opportunity will require Lyken to secure funding and complete definitive agreements.”
Progression of the opportunity is expressly subject to Lyken securing sufficient funding to procure, reserve and deploy the contemplated hardware and associated infrastructure. It is also subject to negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, due diligence, internal approvals (including, if applicable, the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange), satisfactory credit support, hardware and data-centre availability, and compliance with applicable export-control, sanctions, end-user and end-use requirements.
The MOU is non-binding and non-exclusive and records the parties’ present commercial intentions only. Neither party has any binding obligation to make a payment, reserve capacity, procure equipment, provide or take capacity, or enter into the contemplated transaction unless and until definitive agreements are executed. There can be no assurance that Lyken will secure the required funding, that definitive agreements will be entered into, or that the proposed deployment will proceed on the terms contemplated or at all.
