The stablecoin issuer, Tether, is delving into the realm of artificial intelligence (AI) by introducing Tether.ai, an open-source AI runtime that incorporates blockchain technology. This decentralized platform is designed for creating and deploying AI agents efficiently.
Tether's latest venture into AI was announced by Paolo Ardoino on social media. The core feature of Tether.ai is the Personal Infinite Intelligence, a flexible AI runtime that allows users to run AI models on various hardware and devices, highlighting its adaptability.
A significant aspect of Tether.ai is its compatibility with USDT and Bitcoin payments, enabled by the WDK development kit. This integration ensures that decentralized applications can seamlessly manage cryptocurrency transactions, positioning Tether.ai at the convergence of AI and blockchain technologies.
The platform operates without centralized authentication, enhancing its security and resilience. Additionally, Tether.ai is anticipated to integrate with other P2P technologies developed by Tether, as suggested by the redirection to Tether Data when visiting Tether.ai.
Ardoino previously unveiled three AI applications under Tether Data, including an AI translator, an AI voice assistant, and an AI Bitcoin wallet assistant. This strategic move into AI complements Tether's recent investment in Northern Data Group to reinforce its AI infrastructure, aligning with the company's diversification initiatives.
