The post Tether Launches Decentralized AI App, Dataset to Challenge Big Tech Dominance appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

In brief Tether unveiled QVAC Genesis I, a 41-billion-token synthetic dataset aimed at training open, STEM-focused AI models. The release includes QVAC Workbench, a local AI app that runs fully on users’ devices for privacy and control. CEO Paolo Ardoino said the goal is to decentralize intelligence and challenge Big Tech’s control of AI data. Tether Data, the technology arm of the world’s largest stablecoin issuer, is expanding into artificial intelligence with the launch of what it calls the world’s largest synthetic dataset for STEM-focused AI models. Earlier today, the company unveiled QVAC Genesis I, a 41-billion-token dataset built to train science- and engineering-oriented language models, and QVAC Workbench, a cross-platform local AI application that runs models directly on consumer devices. Per Tether, QVAC stands for “QuantumVerse Automatic Computer.” “QVAC is Tether’s answer to centralized AI. An entirely new paradigm where intelligence runs privately, locally, and without permission,” the QVAC website mission statement said. “No clouds. No gatekeepers. Just you, your machines, and unstoppable intelligence.” The move marks a striking escalation of Tether’s ambitions beyond finance. The company said the dataset had been validated on math, physics, biology, and medical benchmarks, and was designed to “level the playing field” for open-source AI by giving researchers an alternative to proprietary data controlled by companies such as OpenAI and Google.
