The post Meet ‘QVAC’: Tether’s Decentralized AI God in Your Pocket appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

In brief Tether says AI developed using its QVAC framework can run entirely on user devices. Tether claims its QVAC architecture is designed to support trillions of AI agents. The company will release an open-source software development kit later this year. Crypto juggernaut Tether is taking aim at Big Tech’s centralized AI dominance with “QVAC,” a new platform that it claims will let developers run and evolve AI agents directly on personal devices—no data centers required. If you think this is the stuff of sci-fi, you’re right: QVAC, short for QuantumVerse Automatic Computer, takes its name from the AI in Isaac Asimov’s 1956 short story, “The Last Question.” In the story, a self-evolving computer named Multivac transforms over time into a god-like being, endlessly seeking a way to stop entropy—until it finally succeeds. If halting entropy is on the roadmap, then Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino didn’t say so Wednesday when he tweeted new details about QVAC. Ardoino first announced that Tether was pursuing a decentralized approach to AI earlier this month. Today, he elaborated, noting that QVAC is designed to run cloudless AI entirely on devices—from smartphones to brain-computer interfaces—with an open-source software development kit planned to be released later this year. “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,” Ardoino said. Tether Announces QVAC, Its Upcoming Development Platform for Infinite and Ubiquitous Intelligence – Deploying and Evolving AI Agents on User Devices, Not Big Tech Data CentersFollow👉 @QVAC_Tetherhttps://t.co/mF8Zs7poiP — Tether (@Tether_to) May 14, 2025 Ardoino called QVAC the “infinite intelligence platform.” “While Big Tech wants to be the gatekeeper of AI, to squeeze society of any last drop of personal data and information,” he wrote, “at Tether, we realized that if…
