Notable Quotes

• Jason Dussault, CEO of Intellistake: "Orbit AI has hit another milestone with their collaboration with NTU. This type of institutional research engagement suggests the orbital compute category continues to develop. NTU isn't modelling whether the concept works. They're designing how they could operate it. We took our position in Orbit AI because we saw potential in the category, and seeing this kind of collaboration reinforces that view."
