Tether CEO Unveils Tether.ai: Open-Source AI Infrastructure Backed by Crypto Payments

In a tweet, Ardoino teased the launch of Tether.ai, which is described as a “Personal Infinite Intelligence” platform. The project aims to build a fully open-source AI runtime capable of adapting and evolving on any device—without reliance on traditional cloud-based infrastructure.

“No API keys, no central point of failure,” the promotional image declares, emphasizing the platform’s focus on decentralization, modularity, and security.

Key features of Tether.ai include:

• Fully open-source AI runtime
• Hardware-agnostic, enabling deployment on any device
• No centralized control, removing common cloud dependencies
• Crypto-native payments, including support for USD₮ and Bitcoin
• A vision to enable an unstoppable peer-to-peer network of billions of AI agents

The system will also leverage WDK (Wallet

">Wallet Development Kit) technology to facilitate embedded crypto payments within AI applications—hinting at strong integration between Tether’s stablecoin infrastructure and next-gen AI.

Tether.ai appears to position itself at the intersection of artificial intelligence, decentralization, and digital finance, a space increasingly gaining attention as AI applications expand and concerns over centralized control deepen.

More details on launch dates or partnerships are yet to be disclosed, but the announcement signals Tether’s growing ambitions far beyond stablecoins.
