Spectral Will Use Energy Tech’s Technologies to Power Its Decentralized Cloud with Scalable, AI-Optimized Energy Solutions and Energy Arbitrage Technology

SEATTLE, Feb. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Spectral Capital (OTCQB: FCCN), a Deep Quantum Technology Platform Company, today is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Energy Tech LLC and Essence Global LLC to deploy advanced sodium-ion energy storage and in-situ Hydrogen-on-Demand Systems (HoD). This partnership will enable Spectral’s decentralized hybrid cloud and edge computing platforms to readily achieve 2.5–3.0 MWh power capacity, critical for AI-driven workloads and quantum infrastructure.

“The whole world knows that the energy needs of AI and cloud computing are on a path to be unsustainable.  Deploying decentralized data centers around the world that are hyper-energy efficient, and that can generate a portion of their own power needs, is a key to Spectral’s growth strategy.  Energy efficiency, including battery back-up optimization and a reliable battery supply that allows on-site energy generation from multiple sources can give Spectral key advantages in lowering net energy costs for its planned data centers.  This can make the data centers more cost competitive. Our lean data center footprint, with 1504 servers planned per center together with the lower energy demands means we can select sites that wouldn’t be suitable from a power viewpoint for large data centers.  We will be able to go where others can’t, meeting cloud demand where it is.” Said Spectral President Jenifer Osterwalder.

By utilizing Energy Tech’s advanced sodium-ion energy storage combined with a fully commercialized version of Essence Global’s Hydrogen On Demand technology to generate on-site power, Spectral can deliver on-site, clean energy generation with a decentralized data infrastructure. This suite of technologies allows Spectral to optimize energy efficiency and become a net energy provider enhancing grid resiliency.

“This initiative is not just about expanding our energy capabilities—it’s about redefining how decentralized cloud infrastructure interacts with global energy markets,” said Sean Michael Brehm, Chairman of Spectral Capital. “By leveraging our proprietary Energy Arbitrage platform, through the integration of the CRWDUNIT intellectual property, we can dynamically balance energy loads, exploit real-time market fluctuations, and optimize cost-efficient power distribution across our global network. This ensures that our decentralized AI and quantum cloud operations remain both resilient and economically optimized.”

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
