Update on Generalist AI Agent Development

Further to the announcement published on 17 December 2025, Sundae Bar Plc
(AIM: SBAR) announces that its generalist commercial AI agent is now in live
development with real developer participation, marking the transition from
internal testing to real-world training.

This development is enabled through the Bittensor network, which allows global
developers to contribute improvements through open, performance-based
competition.

The generalist commercial AI agent is being developed as a single digital
worker designed to execute real business workflows end-to-end, rather than
narrow, task-specific tools. The Company believes this approach addresses a
key limitation in current enterprise AI adoption, where multiple disconnected
tools fail to operate reliably across systems and workflows.

Jill Kenney, CEO of sundae_bar, commented:
"AI agents are moving from experimentation into real enterprise adoption, and
we have been building the generalist AI agent deliberately for that moment. By
training a single generalist agent through open competition on the Bittensor
network and deploying it through the sundae_bar platform, we are focused on
delivering a digital worker that can execute real workflows rather than a
collection of disconnected tools. Opening the system to developer
contributions is an important step in making that capability
production-ready."

SN121 enables Bittensor's global network of developers to compete to improve
the same agent against structured, real-world business challenges. Performance
will be evaluated using the Company's Agent Evaluation Test Suite ("AETS"),
which is designed to test reliability, constraint handling and multi-step
execution under production-like conditions. Evaluation outputs are intended to
be observable and auditable, producing both quantitative scores and
qualitative rationales that support rapid iteration and validated improvement.

The Company expects this next phase to materially accelerate capability
development and support the delivery of a production-grade generalist AI agent
suitable for enterprise deployment. Subject to ongoing performance validation,
the strongest-performing version of the agent is expected to be deployed
through the sundae_bar platform.

Industry research indicates accelerating enterprise adoption of AI agents.
Gartner has forecasted that by 2026, approximately 40% of enterprise software
applications will embed task-specific AI agents. 1  The Company believes this
trend supports demand for more generalist, workflow-oriented agent
architectures capable of operating across multiple systems.

About sundae_bar
Following its successful AIM admission in June 2025, sundae_bar has developed
and operates an enterprise platform that links AI agent developers with
businesses and users at sundaebar.ai and from which AI agents can be acquired.

The Company is now building a single, continuously improving generalist AI
agent which is designed to do "real business work" and which will be made
available for businesses once it is ready for commercial deployment.

The generalist AI agent is trained through open, incentivised competition on
Bittensor, a decentralised incentive layer that coordinates global
contributors to produce intelligence. Performance improvements are measured,
benchmarked, and incorporated into one production agent.

sundae_bar was formed through the strategic merger of Ora Technology PLC and
Kondor AI PLC, combining enterprise-grade platform infrastructure with deep AI
expertise.
