Key Highlights:

• Public satellite tracker embedded for verification: Orbit AI maintains a publicly accessible, real-time satellite tracking dashboard, now embedded on Intellistake's website, allowing independent monitoring of Genesis-1's position, altitude, velocity, orbital parameters, and telemetry freshness.
   
• "We have delivered the world's first decentralized operational AI cloud , and our architecture is now ready to scale with Intellistake." Gus Liu, CEO of Orbit AI .
   
• Intellistake views continuous uptime visibility and public verification as foundational requirements for scalable orbit-to-ground AI workflows and future verification and coordination architectures, amid growing constraints on terrestrial data-center infrastructure.

VANCOUVER, BC , Jan. 13, 2026 /CNW/ -Intellistake Technologies Corp.(CSE: ISTK) (OTCQB: ISTKF) (FSE: E41) ("Intellistake" or the "Company") today emphasized the role of Orbit AI's publicly accessible real-time satellite tracking dashboard as a reference point for monitoring the on-orbit status and uptime of Orbit AI's Genesis-1 satellite. Genesis-1 is operated currently using space infrastructure provided by PowerBank Corporation(NASDAQ: SUUN), supporting Orbit AI's on-orbit compute workloads and telemetry operations.

The tracker, accessible at https://www.intellistake.com/orbit-tracker and sourced from Orbit AI's public orbital data, provides continuous visibility into Genesis-1's orbital position, velocity, altitude, inclination, and telemetry status using updated Two-Line Element (TLE) data and standard orbital propagation models. The embedded tracker is provided for reference and transparency purposes only and reflects data generated and maintained by Orbit AI and third-party orbital data sources.

Intellistake views this transparency as a practical mechanism for observing sustained satellite operations following Genesis-1's successful deployment and ongoing mission activity. Operating AI workloads directly in orbit, rather than relying exclusively on ground-based processing, provides an early reference point for how future AI infrastructure may evolve under real-world physical constraints. Intellistake views Genesis-1 as an initial operational node within a broader space-enabled compute architecture, where repeatable uptime and observable execution are foundational for scale.

"From Intellistake's perspective, this isn't about showcasing a satellite," said Jason Dussault, CEO of Intellistake. "It's about whether execution can be observed, measured, and referenced over time. That's the baseline for any verification or coordination layer we intend to support."

"Genesis-1 marks a paradigm shift to 'computed space,' establishing Orbit AI as one of the fastest to deploy operational-grade AI cloud computing," said Gus Liu, CEO of Orbit AI. "By successfully running our proprietary Peripheral Large Model (PLM) on NVIDIA AI chips in orbit, we invert data gravity—processing workloads at the edge to eliminate bandwidth bottlenecks. We have delivered the world's first decentralized operational AI cloud, and our architecture is now ready to scale with Intellistake."

"Reliable space infrastructure is foundational for any meaningful on-orbit compute capability," explains Dr. Richard Lu. PowerBank Corporation's CEO " Genesis-1 demonstrates how space-based platforms can provide the power, stability, and operational continuity required for advanced AI workloads. As demand grows for compute beyond terrestrial constraints, infrastructure that enables observable, repeatable execution in orbit will become increasingly important."

Intellistake views publicly observable satellite uptime as a necessary input for higher-order infrastructure layers, including telemetry monitoring, verification, and coordination systems. The Company continues to evaluate how sustained, referenceable execution data from space-based compute environments can support future trust-layer architectures aligned with its broader decentralized AI strategy.

The Company cautions that certain operational metrics referenced herein are based on information provided by Orbit AI and have not been independently verified. Intellistake has completed a US$500,000 investment into Orbit AI. Discussions regarding expanded or preferred collaboration frameworks remain ongoing and may not result in definitive agreements. Intellistake will continue to monitor progress and will provide additional updates as warranted.
