Tether has announced the launch of its innovative artificial intelligence development kit (SDK), designed with a strong focus on user privacy. CEO Paolo Ardoino introduced this groundbreaking technology at the Plan ₣ event in Lugano, Switzerland, on October 26. Known as “Local AI,” this SDK is versatile enough to operate on a variety of devices, from budget smartphones to advanced laptops and even large systems using H100 processors.
What Makes the SDK Unique?
The Local AI SDK emphasizes user privacy through its flexible and modular design, allowing for secure sharing of data necessary for AI model fine-tuning across various devices.
How Does It Protect User Privacy?
The technology allows users to conduct operations directly on their devices, eliminating the need to share private information with external parties. During the presentation, a fully local translation application exemplified this capability.
Key features of Tether’s Local AI SDK include:
- Compatibility with various AI models like Marian and Llama.
- Ability to function independently on multiple devices.
- Open-source accessibility post-testing, inviting broader developer engagement.
This launch signifies Tether’s commitment to user privacy within the evolving landscape of cryptocurrency. With its origins in the open-source project “holepunchto/bare,” this initiative is expected to resonate with users who prioritize secure and private interactions in their digital experiences.
