Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino announced on March 15th that the company’s AI division will unveil a “genuine breakthrough” next week, marking a new phase in the decentralized intelligence strategy. The announcement follows the release of Tether Data’s QVAC Workbench version 0.4.1, featuring an improved interface and expanded AI capabilities that run directly on devices. The QVAC (QuantumVerse Automatic Computer) platform enables full AI model operation on personal computers without the need for cloud servers or API keys.
The project is backed by Tether’s substantial profits, with over $10 billion in net income projected for 2025, primarily from the U.S. Treasury bond portfolio. The QVAC ecosystem has rapidly expanded with training data, open-source frameworks, and local AI assistants. The upcoming release may include an open-source AI assistant framework, more powerful on-device models, or deeper integration with Tether’s payment systems.
