Paolo Ardoino Teases Tether.ai, Promising Peer‑to‑Peer AI for Billions of Devices
Tether is venturing into AI with Tether.ai, a decentralized platform that integrates blockchain, supports crypto payments, and enhances AI agent development.
Stablecoin issuer Tether is expanding its focus into artificial intelligence (AI) with the upcoming launch of Tether.ai.
It is an open-source AI runtime that integrates blockchain technology, offering a decentralized infrastructure for developing and deploying AI agents.
AI Meets Blockchain: Tether Introduces Tether.ai
Paolo Ardoino shared the development in the latest X (formerly Twitter) post.
“Tether.ai coming soon,” Ardoino shared.
The core of Tether.ai is Personal Infinite Intelligence. It is a modular and composable AI runtime. According to the announcement, the platform will enable users to run AI models on any hardware or device.
This suggests it is not limited to specific platforms or architectures, making it highly versatile.
Moreover, the system operates without the need for centralized authentication (like API keys) and has no single point of failure. This makes it more resilient and secure, as no central server or control point could be compromised.
The key feature of Tether.ai is its ability to support USDT and Bitcoin (BTC) payments. This is facilitated by the integration of a development Kit called WDK. This approach ensures that decentralized applications (dApps) can seamlessly handle cryptocurrency transactions, positioning Tether.ai at the intersection of AI and blockchain technology.
“Tether AI tech will enable an unstoppable peer-to-peer network of billions of AI agents,” the announcement read.
Notably, visiting Tether.ai redirects to Tether Data. The redirect hints at a deeper integration with Tether’s existing technologies. It suggests that the Tether.ai project may integrate with other P2P technologies developed by Tether, such as Keet (a P2P chat application) and Pear (an open-source framework for building P2P applications).
Furthermore, the announcement comes after Ardoino revealed three AI applications in development under Tether Data. These included an AI translator, an AI voice assistant, and an AI-powered Bitcoin wallet assistant.
Meanwhile, Tether’s foray into AI is a natural extension of its recent diversification efforts. In 2023, the company invested in Northern Data Group, a leader in high-performance computing, to bolster AI infrastructure.
