The first cut is in. 16 teams made it through the Tether Developers Cup. Here's who's still standing

Cloud AI forces users to rent intelligence from centralized, high-cost data centers. Tether is breaking this model with local, edge-first AI. By enabling on-device inference and training on everyday hardware, AI becomes a portable capital asset owned entirely by you. Read more: cio.com/article/419364…

Generative images and video, with no cloud bill and no content filter you do not control. The QVAC SDK runs both on-device. diffusion runs FLUX.2-klein and Stable Diffusion locally, blends reference images for style, and upscale takes the result to high resolution. And video generates short clips from a text prompt, all on the device. What you can build with it: avatar and sticker makers, design and mockup tools, wallpaper and art generators, short animated clips and video effects, character creators. Every image and frame is free and private. No per-image cost, nothing uploaded, works offline. npm install @qvac/sdk

Fabric has resolved a major limitation in upstream llama.cpp by implementing multi-axis M-RoPE/iM-RoPE KV-cache shifting. The update enables smooth, long-running sliding context sessions for Qwen3.5 text and multimodal models without failing or corrupting image token layouts.

Last call. ⏰ Submissions close tonight at 23:59 GMT-7. 157 builders already in. There's still time for you to be one of them! dorahacks.io/hackathon/teth…

npm install @qvac/sdk Quickstart: docs.qvac.tether.io/quickstart/ Want to build with your AI agent? Send it this link as context: docs.qvac.tether.io/llms-full.txt

Looking to build a local AI app? The QVAC SDK is a great place to start. One npm install, 12 AI tasks, all running on-device. Text, embeddings, RAG, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, translation, vision, image generation, OCR, classification, on-device fine-tuning, and brain-computer-interface transcription. One SDK. It runs natively on iOS and Android from a single npm install, plus desktop and server. Swap one model for another without rewriting your app. Apache 2.0, no API keys, no per-token cost, nothing leaves the device.

Local AI just got a body. @G_Bionics built the robot, QVAC runs on it. The same SDK that runs on a phone now runs the robot.

There is a middleman between you and almost every AI you use. Today, using capable AI means routing every request through a cloud provider. They hold the model. They see the prompt. They decide whether you still have access tomorrow. The intermediary is not a bug. It is the structure. That structure has a cost beyond the bill. Every query you send trains their model and sits on their servers. You are not the one getting smarter. The system in the middle is. Remove the middleman and you disintermediate your access to intelligence. The model runs on your device. Your prompts never leave it. No account to suspend, no key to revoke, nothing between you and your own thinking. That is what QVAC is. Intelligence with no intermediary. Open source, runs offline, yours to keep. github.com/tetherto/qvac

Rome. Le Corsie Sistine. The Last Question. @paoloardoino took the stage to make the case for local AI over centralized AI and for putting intelligence back in the hands of the people who use it. Not your AI, not your intelligence. #TheLastQuestion #QVAC

QVAC is built by a team working at the frontier where AI, biology, and computing converge, a convergence that is compressing decades of progress into years. That means real research, in the open. Tether just had four papers accepted at ICLR, and open-sources the whole stack for millions of developers and researchers to scrutinize. techcrunch.com/sponsor/tether…

Frontier labs keep pushing the limit of what AI can do, and that matters. But the limit is not the problem most people have. Most people are not asking AI to do frontier things. They ask it to explain something, summarize a page, draft a message, answer a question. For that, a model small enough to run on the phone in your pocket is already enough. A few gigabytes, fully on-device, no account, no bill. Pushing the frontier and putting AI in everyone's hands are two different jobs. One is crowded. The other is wide open. QVAC builds for the second one. The AI most people actually need should run on the device they already own, not behind someone else's paywall.
