Tellus Power Launches Tellus Energy AI, a Vertical Large Model for Green AI Computing

New vertical AI model combines electricity-price intelligence, load forecasting, computing scheduling and V2G resources to help lower power costs and unlock flexible grid capacity

IRVINE, Calif., July 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tellus Power Global Holding Limited (“Tellus Power” or the “Company”), a deep technology company building bi-directional energy transfer systems to power the physical AI economy, today announced Tellus Energy AI, a purpose-built (“vertical”) AI model for the energy and computing sectors. The model is designed to coordinate energy and compute in multiple directions, matching AI compute workloads to real-time power availability and price, while turning distributed charging and storage assets into grid-responsive resources. Tellus Power believes it is among the first providers to bring multiple-way energy-compute scheduling to market in a single professional model.

Tellus Energy AI provides five core capabilities:

Real-time price tracking – ingests and analyzes wholesale electricity prices in near real time to support power-trading decisions.
Power-load forecasting – multi-dimensional load prediction to inform energy dispatch, consumption and trading decisions.
Energy decision support – recommends actions based on live prices and load to help customers reduce electricity costs.
Grid coordination, energy arbitrage and value-added services – responds to grid signals for resilience, peak demand and other ancillary-service signals, converting idle charging capacity into additional revenue.
Open agent platform – customers can build custom AI agents on TPResearch, Tellus Power’s agent framework, via its published APIs.

The Tellus Power Mission Control platform

The Tellus Power Mission Control platform – fleet health, uptime and live diagnostics at a glance (representative view).

Alongside the model, Tellus Power is building an integrated energy-AI computing capability on four foundations including a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) based virtual power plant, a wide-area charging network, liquid-cooled high-density compute clusters, and an advanced EMS (energy-management platform).

Together these support four applied models – compute-power coordinated dispatch, V2G site operation, power-trading decisioning, and green-compute traceability, intended to address high energy costs, grid constraints, bring in capacity for micro data centers, green-power certification and low asset utilization.

In early deployments, Tellus Power is targeting electricity-cost reductions of 20%-40% vs. unoptimized operation, data-center PUE below 1.1 and additional ancillary-service revenue of up to 40%, with full green-power traceability to support ESG reporting.

Tellus Energy AI forecast

Near-real-time electricity-price tracking and price-forecast scenario comparison.

Tellus Power is opening three commercial offerings, Energy Intelligence Agent, private deployment and an EMS smart toolkit, to AI operators, data centers and new-energy operators for partnership and integration along with its state-of-the-art infrastructure.

Tellus Energy AI

Tellus Energy AI, reachable on any channel – operators query the fleet in plain language from tablet or phone.

Over the next three to five years, Tellus Power aims to build a distributed green-compute network exceeding 1 GW, developing an integrated “energy + compute + AI” offering as a second growth curve and contributing to a low-carbon compute infrastructure ecosystem.

“The race for all types of AI including generative, inference and physical AI is really a race for immediate energy. The compute exists, but the power to run it affordably and cleanly is the real constraint on AI’s growth. We built Tellus Energy AI to help lift that constraint, turning energy from AI’s largest cost and time resource into a source of efficiency, resilience and immediate availability,” said Mike Calise, Chief Executive Officer of Tellus Power.

About Tellus Power
Tellus Power is a deep technology company building bi-directional energy transfer systems to power the physical AI economy. Our products unify fleet and passenger vehicle charging, battery storage, and vehicle-to-grid capabilities. This infrastructure enables two-way control of high flow-rate electrons through a grid-edge energy system.

Bitget Supports UNICEF Game Changers Coalition Expansion Into Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Bolivia

VICTORIA, Seychelles, July 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The UNICEF Game Changers Coalition (GCC) now expands into Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Bolivia. The program, which delivers future-ready skills including digital education, AI and financial literacy to young people through video game development, is supported by Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX) as part of a three-year partnership launched in 2025.

The expansion brings the initiative’s footprint to 11 countries globally, continuing its broader effort to improve access to digital education across emerging markets. GCC has so far been implemented across Armenia, Brazil, Cambodia, India, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Morocco, South Africa, and the newly added Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Bolivia.

Bitget joined the coalition in 2025 as part of a three-year collaboration with UNICEF to support financial literacy, including blockchain, and digital skills for young people, especially girls, in emerging economies. Through the partnership, Bitget contributes educational resources including blockchain-focused learning content and access to mentors from the Web3 ecosystem to support GCC programming.

The coalition has expanded rapidly over the past year, reaching more than 642,000 young people, parents, and teachers globally, with girls accounting for 52% of participants. More than 20,000 video games have been created by young people through the GCC curriculum.

Bitget’s team witnessed the program’s real impact during Cambodia’s National Game Jam in December 2025, where over 1,000 young participants took part in a 48-hour challenge to create socially impactful video games. Cambodian teams had won four of seven categories in the previous global UNICEF Game Jam, a 40-day initiative through which young creators in emerging economies built original video games with mentorship sessions and a self-paced online course. “In Cambodia, UNICEF gave us a glimpse into the youth’s aptitude. From coding garbage segregation to healthy eating, they built a range of real-world creative games,” said Simran Alphonso, Head of Public Relations at Bitget. “With strong teaching skills of teachers, we’re positive about our upcoming course and future endeavors which will support these leaders of tomorrow,” she added.

“One of the reasons this partnership means so much to me is because I’ve seen firsthand how quickly young people thrive when they’re given the right opportunities,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “I still teach part-time at HKUST because it keeps me connected to what the next generation needs. Seeing UNICEF’s Game Changers Coalition expand into three new markets means many more young people, especially girls, will have the chance to build those skills early. That’s incredibly meaningful to me.”

“Expanding the Game Changers Coalition into Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Bolivia is a milestone in our mission to equip young people, especially girls, with 21^st century STEAM and financial skills to shape the future. With partners like Bitget, we’re not just scaling education; we’re fostering inclusivity, building a pipeline of women leaders, and unlocking economic empowerment across emerging markets,” said Sandra Visscher, Executive Director of UNICEF Luxembourg.

GCC addresses the $15B annual economic loss from girls’ digital skills gaps in low/middle-income countries. To learn more, visit: www.unicef.org/innovation/gender-equality/game-changers-coalition.
