According to PANews, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino announced on the X platform that the company has previewed its Local AI development kit at the Lugano Plan ₿ event. This kit focuses on privacy and is supported by peer-to-peer technology, allowing code to be written once and run anywhere, from $40 phones to flagship smartphones, laptops, mainframes with numerous H100s, smart refrigerators, and car entertainment systems. Tether's AI SDK is highly modular, supporting various models such as Marian and Llama, and enables loading and storing weights and fine-tuning data within a P2P data structure. The kit will be open-sourced after undergoing practical testing.
