Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ:DVLT), a provider of data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement, and real-world asset tokenization technologies, announced that the first sites of its new quantum-ready high-performance computing GPU network are now live in New York and Philadelphia, with commercial availability of the full 48,000-GPU fleet beginning in Q3 2026. Built on Available Infrastructure's SanQtum AI quantum-resistant edge platform, the fleet integrates Datavault AI's DataValue®, DataScore®, and Information Data Exchange® (IDE®) tokenization capabilities directly into the infrastructure to serve enterprises facing extended GPU lead times outside the hyperscaler customer set.

The 48,000-GPU fleet will be distributed across 1,000 urban micro-edge neocloud sites in more than 100 U.S. cities by the end of 2026, with each site supporting up to 48 GPUs configured for low-latency AI inference and HPC workloads. The equivalent market value of the dedicated capacity is estimated at $1.44 billion to $1.92 billion based on current Hopper- and Blackwell-class pricing. The network operates outside the hyperscaler supply chain, which has absorbed the majority of current GPU capacity, leaving many enterprises facing extended lead times and limited on-demand availability from major cloud providers.

"The GPU supply crisis has created a two-tier market - hyperscalers with capacity and enterprises waiting in a year-long queue. Our quantum-ready fleet, built on SanQtum AI's cyber-secure edge architecture, gives enterprises a path to secure AI compute, data scoring, and tokenized monetization without waiting for hyperscaler allocations," said Nathaniel T. Bradley, Founder & CEO, Datavault AI Inc. Approximately 30 additional city activations are targeted by early July 2026, with the full fleet revenue-generating by the end of 2026.

Available Infrastructure's SanQtum AI platform provides cyber-secure, zero-trust, quantum-resistant architecture with post-quantum cryptography. The air-cooled, lower-power design bypasses the power-grid and coolant constraints that have limited hyperscale expansion, positioning the fleet as an alternative source of secure enterprise AI compute. Datavault AI's platforms run natively on the SanQtum-secured fleet, enabling real-time data tokenization, monetization, and edge AI workloads at scale across sports & entertainment, events & venues, biotech, education, fintech, real estate, healthcare, energy, and additional industries.

The Information Data Exchange® incorporates AI-powered yield management and branded data asset scoring, with data assets valued for quality, completeness, and quantum encryption. By operating at the network edge rather than in centralized cloud regions, Datavault AI's real-time data tokenization and monetization capabilities leverage the distributed GPU infrastructure to deliver secure, decentralized AI compute capacity across multiple enterprise use cases.
