Quantum Blockchain Technologies (AIM:QBT), the AIM-listed developer of novel blockchain technology, said it has established a fully operational testing environment for its Method C AI Oracle and has begun collecting live crypto mining data.
The company said it completed three technical milestones: modified the mining rig operating system and micro-controller code to produce structured mining data streams; integrated the AI Oracle into the server-side OS to intercept, analyse and optimise mining jobs; and assembled and activated the ASIC manufacturer's Mining Development Kit for laboratory testing.
Those steps create an end-to-end architecture in which the AI Oracle evaluates mining jobs and selectively executes the most promising hashes with the aim of improving mining efficiency.
Data collection is now underway, and QBT expects to use the data to initiate neural network training, generate ASIC-specific AI models, run extended validation testing and deliver preliminary performance results, followed by a live demonstration.
QBT said its representatives met the ASIC manufacturer at Bitcoin 2026 and held further positive discussions with other industry parties showing growing interest in the AI Oracle.
The company said its immediate focus is expanding data collection, refining the AI model and progressing towards preliminary results while continuing to work on porting the AI Oracle onto a mining rig control board as a commercial objective.
"We are making solid progress in establishing a fully operational testing environment for Method C and are now generating the data required to train and refine our AI models," Francesco Gardin, CEO and Executive Chairman, said.
He added that the company expects to report preliminary results to the ASIC manufacturer within the next couple of weeks.
