LQR House's YHC AI Enters Into A 1-Year Agreement To Procure Up To $3M In OpenAI-Powered Computing Resources To Advance AI-Driven Financial Research And Portfolio Optimization

LQR House Inc. (NASDAQ:YHC) ("LQR House" or the "Company") today announced that its subsidiary YHC AI Limited has entered into a one-year agreement to procure up to $3 million in AI computing resources powered by OpenAI technologies to support the continued development of AI-driven research, quantitative analytics, and automated portfolio optimization at its other subsidiary, Fusion Five Continents Securities Limited ("Fusion Five").This agreement represents another step in the Company's strategy to expand Fusion Five's technology capabilities and advance its vision of an AI-enabled brokerage platform integrating financial research, portfolio analytics, and investment execution.Expanding AI-Driven Research and Quantitative AnalyticsFusion Five is a financial services firm operating at the intersection of digital finance, global capital markets, and digital asset infrastructure. Its platform is designed to integrate AI-assisted research, automated portfolio optimization, order execution, and stablecoin-based funding and settlement capabilities within a unified environment.Through continued investment in artificial intelligence and quantitative modeling, Fusion Five aims to broaden access to sophisticated research and portfolio analytics traditionally associated with institutional investment platforms.Fusion Five first developed its own AI and quantitative modeling capabilities before the Company entered into an agreement in June 2026 with a ByteDance group company to incorporate that group's advanced AI models into the platform. Today's newly announced computing agreement in respect of OpenAI's models is intended to complement those existing capabilities, providing additional resources to support the development, refinement, and deployment of AI-powered research and portfolio optimization tools.The Company believes that combining Fusion Five's existing quantitative infrastructure with additional AI models and computing resources will help expand the platform's analytical capabilities, support more complex research workflows, and improve the tools available to inform portfolio construction. The extent of these benefits will depend on implementation, testing, and performance in practice.Building a Multi-Model AI InfrastructureThe Company's strategy is to develop a flexible AI infrastructure that can incorporate complementary models and computing resources as Fusion Five's platform evolves. Rather than relying exclusively on a single model or technology provider, this approach is intended to support the integration of additional capabilities as they become available and appropriate for the platform's needs.Under today's agreement, YHC AI Limited will procure AI computing resources and access to the latest GPT models that are available in Singapore for potential use in Fusion Five's financial research, quantitative analytics, and portfolio optimization workflows. The Company intends to evaluate these capabilities as part of its broader strategy to develop a multi-model AI infrastructure. Following the Company's $30,000 deposit, the amount payable for AI computing resources, including the GPT models, under the agreement with the agent will depend on Fusion Five's deployment requirements and usage during the contract term.The Company believes that this flexible, multi-model architecture will provide a foundation for continued product development while enabling Fusion Five to evaluate technologies according to their relevance to specific financial research and analytical tasks.
