Stablecoin issuer Tether has announced the launch of QVAC (QuantumVerse Automatic Computer), an infinitely intelligent development platform designed for both humans and machines. QVAC enables highly scalable AI applications and agents to run directly on local devices without relying on centralized services or cloud data. Integrated with Tether’s WDK payment system, AI agents can autonomously trade using Bitcoin and USDT. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino emphasized that QVAC represents an open AI future with control firmly in users’ hands.
QVAC: A Fully On-Device AI Platform
QVAC is designed for a new era of personal sovereignty, allowing AI models to run entirely on the user’s own device, without the need for cloud connectivity, ensuring enhanced privacy, autonomy, and resilience.
Its modular architecture allows developers to build and scale applications using small composable components. Peer-to-peer networking facilitates direct communication and collaboration between devices without centralized servers. This unique design enables the QVAC ecosystem to scale to trillions of AI agents and applications without single points of failure, delivering the first unstoppable network of infinite intelligence.
Developers can build and deploy AI inference and agents across a broad range of hardware—from smartphones, laptops, mainframes, embedded systems, to brain-machine interfaces—ensuring AI apps run securely and independently whether online or fully offline.
AI Agents Autonomously Trading Bitcoin and USDT
Thanks to Tether’s WDK integrated payments, AI agents can autonomously conduct transactions using Bitcoin and USDT, opening new possibilities for decentralized, self-sustaining AI systems.
Upcoming AI Applications in Translation and Health
Tether plans to soon launch its first QVAC-based AI applications focused on privacy and self-sovereignty. Initial apps include:
- QVAC Translate: Performs fast transcription and translation of text, documents, images, and audio locally on devices, without cloud dependency.
- QVAC Health: A private health tracker that localizes sensitive health data entirely on the device.
To accelerate innovation, Tether will open-source a comprehensive software development kit (SDK) in the coming months, enabling developers to easily build, deploy, and scale their own QVAC agents across any device.
Paolo Ardoino on an Open and User-Controlled AI Future
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated:
“AI should bring the next wave of growth for society and humanity—not hand over more control to companies owning servers and API keys. If you need an API key to use your AI, it doesn’t truly belong to you. QVAC was created to change that: localize, privatize, and decentralize AI so users regain control over their data, computation, and autonomy. Tether’s goal is to build the first open, ubiquitous platform supporting an unstoppable AI agent ecosystem serving both humans and machines. The era of infinite intelligence is just beginning.”
