Tether’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) Research Division announced QVAC Genesis I, the largest synthetic dataset ever created for AI training, consisting of 41 billion text tokens.
The dataset is designed to improve the inference and accuracy of language models focused on science and engineering, and benchmarks have shown strong performance across mathematics, physics, biology, and medicine, according to an emailed announcement Friday.
Alongside Genesis I, Tether announced QVAC Workbench, a local AI app that allows users to run, train, and interact with models directly on their devices. The app supports major open models such as Llama, Medgemma, Qwen, and Whisper and keeps all your data private on your device.
CEO Paolo Ardoino said the two releases aim to “decentralize intelligence” and move AI computations from centralized cloud systems to personal hardware. “Information should not be centralized,” he said. “It should belong to the individual, not the organization.”
Tether has been focused on decentralized AI for some time, introducing an open-source Wallet Development Kit (WDK) last year that allows humans, machines, and AI agents to build and use secure self-custodial wallets and transact using USDT and Bitcoin. BTC$111,313.75.
The stablecoin giant is doing this to diversify its business beyond stablecoins and strategically position itself at the intersection of cryptocurrencies and decentralized AI infrastructure.
