Tether CEO shows a preview of the privacy-focused Tether Local AI development kit, with plans to open source it later

On October 27th, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino posted on X platform stating that a preview of Tether's local artificial intelligence development kit, Local AI, was showcased at the Lugano Plan ₿ event yesterday. The kit focuses on privacy and is supported by peer-to-peer technology, allowing code to be written once and run anywhere, from a $40 smartphone to a flagship smartphone, from a laptop to a large machine with many H100s, from a smart fridge to a car entertainment system. Tether's AI SDK is highly modular, supporting any model (Marian, Llama, etc.) and loading/storing weights and fine-tuning data in a P2P data structure, with plans to be open-sourced after being tested in real-world scenarios.
