💸🤖Tether․ai: Peer-to-Peer Intelligence is Coming

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino has officially confirmed the imminent launch of Tether․ai — a fully open-source AI runtime built for decentralized, censorship-resistant computation. Unlike OpenAI or Gemini, Tether․ai requires no API keys, no central cloud, and no kill-switch.

The system is designed to run directly on local hardware — phones, servers, satellites — forming an autonomous peer-to-peer mesh of AI agents. Each agent can reason, transact, and evolve independently across the network.

What makes it radically different:

– No centralized API or control layer

– Integrated with USDT and BTC payments via WDK

– Built for modularity: agents can compose themselves into DAOs, bots, or autonomous dApps

– Interoperable with Keet and Holepunch protocols

Use cases include:

– Self-hosted trading bots

– Distributed moderation agents

– Autonomous crypto treasuries

– AI wallet advisors with native USDT capabilities

Ardoino hints at an early developer release this summer, with public mainnet expansion by Q4 2025. A full dev environment will be available via GitHub with prebuilt templates for LLMs, toolchains, and on-chain wallets.

With OpenAI tightening access and Anthropic moving to gated APIs, Tether․ai poses a different question:

Are you ready to run AI that no one can turn off?#AMAGE
