PANews reported on April 12 that Paolo Ardoino, CEO of stablecoin issuer Tether, stated in an article on the X platform that "artificial intelligence should be as open as freedom." He believes that the development path of centralized artificial intelligence has reached a "dead end," and that Tether is moving in the opposite direction while large technology companies continue to build closed AI systems.

The company will explore solutions for running AI models on local devices through QVAC, allowing users to take full control of their own data and computing power. This model is also more in line with the core of the crypto industry’s “self-hosting” concept, which is that users should have complete autonomy over their data and computing resources.
