CleanSpark Gets ERCOT Batch Zero Nod for 885 MW in Texas

Las Vegas – September 12, 2026 -- CleanSpark, Inc. (Nasdaq: CLSK) has received conditional batch zero classification from ERCOT covering 885 MW of contracted power capacity across its two Texas sites, the company disclosed in its unaudited August 2026 operations update.

ERCOT grants baseload and studied load designations for Texas capacity

The grid operator classified 585 MW of CleanSpark's contracted capacity for batch zero baseload designation and an additional 300 MW for batch zero studied load designation. CEO and Chairman Matt Schultz said the classification arrived as expected and reflects the company's continued cooperation with an audit directive from Governor Abbott involving both ERCOT and the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT).

"We look forward to working collaboratively with all stakeholders to serve the needs of Texans while also delivering for our shareholders and customers," Schultz said.

Galaxy Digital Wins Conditional ERCOT Clearance for 4.2 GW Texas Data Centers

New York – September 12, 2026 -- Galaxy Digital Inc. (Nasdaq: GLXY) said five of its Texas data center projects have received conditional classifications under the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) Batch Zero large load interconnection process, covering approximately 4.2 gigawatts (GW) of gross power capacity.

ERCOT splits Galaxy's projects into base load and studied load categories
Helios I (800 MW) and Helios II (830 MW), both at Galaxy's Helios data center campus, were classified as Batch Zero Base Load, meaning they are modeled in the system-wide study but not subject to further capacity allocation. Helios II's capacity was approved by ERCOT in January 2026, ahead of the March 4 study validation-check date, and forms part of more than 1.6 GW already approved at the Helios site. The project remains on schedule to energize in 2028, and Galaxy said leasing at Helios is not impacted by the process.

The lease, signed August 7, 2026, covers an existing northeast Oklahoma facility of nearly 80,000 square feet with load already above 45 megawatts. Annual rent escalators apply, and delivery to the tenant is expected in the first half of 2027, with no revenue recognized under the lease to date. The agreement is expected to carry a backstop from a U.S.-based, investment-grade global technology company; total contracted revenue could reach approximately $3.2 billion if all renewal options across a possible 30-year term are exercised.

HazMat Expert Shapes OCP Safety Rules for Data Center Battery Storage

Waxahachie, Texas – September 12, 2026 -- Americase International said Mike Pagel, Principal Consultant with its HazMat Safety Consulting subsidiary, contributed dangerous goods and regulatory expertise to a January 2026 Open Compute Project (OCP) white paper setting safety requirements for energy storage systems (ESS) deployed in data centers amid rising AI and high-performance computing power demands.

OCP guidance targets battery risks from rack-level backups to large-scale storage

The white paper, Requirements for Energy Storage Systems Used in Data Centers, covers configurations ranging from rack-level battery backup units and centralized uninterruptible power supply systems to larger battery energy storage systems (BESS). It addresses battery chemistry, testing, fire protection, transportation, emergency response and end-of-life management for lithium-ion, nickel-zinc, lead-acid, sodium-ion and supercapacitor systems.

WiMi Unveils Quantum Algorithm to Compress High-Dimensional Data Without Feature Loss

Beijing – – September 11, 2026 -- WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WiMi) has developed a multi-dimensional data pooling technique built on Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQA) that compresses complex datasets while retaining local feature detail, a persistent bottleneck in classical machine learning pipelines.

WiMi combines Quantum Haar Transform with partial measurement to eliminate flattening losses

The scheme merges a Quantum Haar Transform (QHT) with quantum partial measurement to build what the company calls a quantum pooling mechanism. Unlike classical pooling, which compresses data by discarding information through flattening, WiMi's method operates directly on multi-dimensional data in quantum state space, avoiding the need to reduce inputs to one-dimensional form before processing.

Intersignal's Braid Protocol Shares Context Across Local AI Models

Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – September 11, 2026 -- Intersignal has demonstrated cross-device context sharing through its Braid protocol, showing a local large language model on a MacBook Air incorporate a 500-credit spending limit transmitted from a connected system into its response.

Braid moves beyond message delivery to actual context use by receiving models

The demonstration confirmed that a shared parameter -- the 500-credit limit -- was not just received but applied by the target model in its output. Intersignal calls this dynamic "machine osmosis," describing how information introduced in one part of a connected setup becomes usable context elsewhere without manual re-entry of instructions or constraints.
