The Stablecoin transmitter, Tether, moves more deeply in artificial intelligence with the next launch of Tether AI, an open source AI platform designed to operate on a decentralized network and Peer-to-Peer.
The next artificial intelligence will offer payments in major cryptocurrencies, including USDT and Bitcoin.
Tether enters the AI breed with a decentralized and crypto-propelled platform
The project, teased by the CEO of Tether Paolo Ardoino on May 5 via X, will integrate direct payments into USDT and Bitcoin. TETHER AI is described as a modular and component runtime of AI, designed to operate on any material or peripheral.
According to Ardoino, the system will not count on centralized servers or will not require API keys, distinguishing it from traditional cloud services. Instead, it is designed to run on a distributed network without any failure.
At the heart of the platform is what Tether calls “personal infinite intelligence”, a concept that suggests individualized AI agents adaptable to the needs of users and material constraints. This decentralized model aims to offer developers and users more autonomy, confidentiality and security.
The platform will support native crypto payments, with USDT and Bitcoin transactions treated directly on the peer network. Ardoino has confirmed that the AI platform will be “infused” of crypto-native tools, including the Open Source (WDK) portfolio development kit.
WDK was published in November 2024, which allows developers to build mobile, office and web portfolios for the management of auto-cartodial assets.
Tether stressed that users will keep full control of their funds, without relying on centralized intermediaries. This is aligned with the broader objective of offering AI tools which are both open and sovereign, powered by cryptographic infrastructure.
Ardoino said, “The AI industry is today strongly depends on the centralized APIs and the cloud platforms.”
He added, “Tether.ai will change this by offering an entirely open-open ia runtime that works anywhere and requires no centralized access.”
Although Tether.ai is not yet live, the visit to the domain is currently redirecting users to Tether data. This suggests that the project can be integrated into the existing technologies of Tether, such as Keet, a decentralized chat application, and Pear, a framework to create P2P applications.
The platform was introduced for the first time in December 2024, with a target launch by the end of the first quarter of 2025. Although it is not yet put online, the last update indicates that the development is in progress, the positioning of the attachment to enter the emerging space of decentralized AI with integrated cryptographic capacities.
Tether Ia advances in the middle of the restructuring and a quarterly profit of $ 1 billion
The initiative of the Open-Source of Tether is the last step of a broader pivot of artificial intelligence, which is part of a corporate restructuring announced in April 2024.
This decision has created new commercial units focused on AI tools and the development of peer technologies, including attachment data.
CEO Paolo Ardoino regularly teased the company’s ambitions in AI, revealing in February that the TETher AI Division developed a series of applications, including a translation tool, a voice assistant and a Bitcoin portfolio assistant. All this will be fueled by internal models.
Ardodino wrote on X, saying “ideal technological foundation” for a future envisaged by the legend of science fiction Isaac Asimov. The AI will become, in the coming decades, part of the very fabric of the universe. »»
The expansion comes when Tether declared an operating profit of $ 1 billion in T1 2025, fired by solid returns in its participations of the US Treasury.
With 149.3 billion dollars in total assets and $ 5.6 billion in surplus reserves, Tether continues to lead in the space of Stablecoin and now IA infrastructure.
