LQR House adds 40% discount on $3M–$5M AI purchases
The agreement provides a 40% discount off headline price for aggregate purchases between $3 million and $5 million over its life.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
LQR House Inc. (YHC) said a subsidiary entered a supplemental agreement giving group company Fusion Five Continents Securities access to OpenAI GPT models, including GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6 Sol, GPT-5.6 Luna and GPT-5.6 Sol. The agreement builds on an October 19 arrangement for up to $3 million in OpenAI-powered AI computing resources and raises the purchase ceiling.
For aggregate purchases between $3 million and $5 million over the agreement’s life, the stated discount is 40% off the headline price; the original 30% discount applies to purchases below $3 million. LQR House says the models are intended to support development of Fusion Five’s AI-enabled brokerage platform, including financial research, quantitative analytics and portfolio optimization. The company says benefits depend on implementation, testing and performance.

LQR House Expands Fusion Five’s AI Capabilities Through Supplemental Agreement for OpenAI GPT Models
MIAMI BEACH, FL, Oct. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LQR House Inc. (NASDAQ: YHC) (“LQR House” or the “Company”) today announced that its subsidiary YHC AI Limited has entered into a supplemental agreement providing access to several advanced GPT models from OpenAI for use by group company Fusion Five Continents Securities Limited (“Fusion Five”).
The agreement builds on the AI computing resources arrangement announced on October 19 and follows the Company’s June 2026 agreement with a ByteDance group company to incorporate ByteDance’s advanced AI models into Fusion Five’s platform. Access to OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6 Sol, GPT-5.6 Luna, and GPT-5.6 Sol is intended to broaden the range of AI technologies available to Fusion Five as it further develops its AI-enabled brokerage platform. Today’s agreement also raises the ceiling on the amount of AI compute available under the original agreement for OpenAI resources and provides a volume discount of 40% off the headline price for purchases totaling between $3 million and $5 million over the life of the agreement, with the original 30% discount applying to purchases below $3 million.
Expanding Fusion Five’s AI Technology Ecosystem
Fusion Five is a financial services firm operating at the intersection of digital finance, global capital markets, and digital asset infrastructure, providing stablecoin-based funding and settlement capabilities on a unified platform alongside AI-enabled tools. The addition of OpenAI models represents a further step in LQR House’s strategy to develop a multi-model AI infrastructure for Fusion Five, combining complementary technologies to support financial research, quantitative analytics, and portfolio optimization.
By incorporating models from different technology providers, Fusion Five aims to evaluate and apply AI capabilities across a range of financial and analytical workflows. The Company believes this approach will provide greater flexibility as the platform develops, with the potential to enhance research tools and portfolio analytics over time. The precise benefits will depend on implementation, testing, and performance in the intended applications.
Management Commentary
“Expanding our AI capabilities is an important part of our vision for Fusion Five,” said Leo Chen, LQR House’s Chief Executive Officer. “Following our agreement to incorporate advanced AI models from ByteDance, access to advanced models from OpenAI gives us another set of technologies to evaluate as we develop our platform. We intend to bring these capabilities together in support of a more integrated brokerage experience, connecting financial research, portfolio analytics, and investment execution.”
