By: bitcoin ethereum news|2025/05/15 03:15:07

Tether announced on May 14 the launch of its upcoming QuantumVerse Automic Computer (QVAC), a development platform for Infinite Intelligence. The firm said that QVAC enables highly scalable AI applications and agents to run directly on local devices without dependence on centralized services and cloud infrastructure. The company also plans to introduce its first AI applications based on QVAC, focusing on privacy protection and autonomous sovereignty. The previous applications include QVAC/Translate and QVAC/Health. Tether said it wants to create a decentralized AI ecosystem and usher in an era of unlimited intelligence. The firm’s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, argued that AI will make critical decisions in people’s lives, but the infrastructure is currently fragile, invasive, and opaque. Tether launches its upcoming QVAC Introducing QVAC – Infinite intelligence. Local. Any Hardware. Peer-to-Peer Hyper Swarm. No cloud. No compromise. QVAC is the decentralized AI platform for humans and machines.

The company acknowledged that the platform will allow highly scalable artificial intelligence applications and agents to run directly on local devices without the need for intermediaries. Tether argued that mitigating dependence on central services and cloud infrastructure protects users from corporate access to private user data. The crypto firm said it designed QVAC for a new era of personal sovereignty by enabling AI models to fully run on users’ devices without the need for cloud connectivity and ensuring greater privacy, autonomy, and resilience. “Artificial intelligence should empower the next wave of growth for society and humanity, not delegate even more control to corporations that own servers and access keys.” – Paolo Ardoino , CEO of Tether. The blockchain-enabled platform also highlighted that QVAC’s modular architecture allows developers to build and extend applications using small, composable components. Tether added that its peer-to-peer networking facilitates direct device-to-device communication and collaboration without reliance on centralized servers. The firm argued that its architecture allows the QVAC ecosystem to scale to trillions of AI agents and applications without points of failure while delivering a first-of-its-kind Infinite Intelligence swarm. Tether mentioned that its Wallet Development Kit (WDK) also allows AI agents to transact in Bitcoin and USDt autonomously. The firm believes it will open new possibilities for decentralized, self-sustaining AI systems. The company acknowledged that with QVAC, developers can use a single framework to build and deploy AI inference and agents across a range of hardware, including smartphones and laptops. and more. Tether noted that it will ensure AI applications can function securely and independently, whether connected to a network or operating entirely offline. Tether plans to launch QVAC-based applications The USDT issuer also revealed it will launch the first QVAC-based AI apps, with a strong focus on privacy preservation and self-sovereignty. The firm previously released the QVAC/Translate application, which it said delivers fast, on-device transcription and translation of text, documents, images, and audio without any reliance on the cloud. Tether had also previously launched the QVAC/Health application, which it described as a private wellness tracker that keeps sensitive health data entirely local. The crypto company noted that it aims to open-source a comprehensive Software Development Kit in the following months to accelerate its innovation. The firm said the kit will make it easy for developers to build, deploy, and scale their own QVAC agents across any device. Ardoino argued that if a user needs to use an API key to access their AI, then it isn’t truly theirs, but QVAC changes that dynamic. According to him, Tether aims to create the first open and ubiquitous platform powering an unstoppable AI agent ecosystem at the service of humans and machines alike. He also noted that the error of Infinite Intelligence has just begun. Ardoino also mentioned that Tether AI would bring the same groundbreaking revolution to artificial intelligence that USDt made to traditional finance.
