Tether unveils synthetic AI dataset to democratize STEM intelligence


Tether’s artificial intelligence (AI) arm has opened QVAC Genesis I, the largest synthetic dataset ever created for AI training, consisting of 41 billion text tokens.
The dataset is designed to improve reasoning and accuracy in language models focused on science and engineering, with benchmarks showing strong performance across mathematics, physics, biology, and medicine, according to an emailed announcement Friday.
Alongside Genesis I, Tether launched QVAC Workbench, a native AI app that enables users to run, train, and interact with models directly on their own devices. The app supports leading open models, including LLAMA, Medgemma, QWEN, and Whisper, while keeping all data private and on-device.
CEO Paolo Ardoino said the twin releases aim to “decentralize intelligence,” moving AI computation from centralized cloud systems to personal hardware. “Intelligence should not be centralized,” he said. “It should belong to the individual, not the institution.”
Tether has been committed to decentralized AI for some time, An open-source wallet development kit (WDK) was introduced last year To enable humans, machines, and AI agents to build and use secure, self-custom wallets and transact with USDT and Bitcoin .
The StableCoin giant is doing this to diversify their business beyond StableCoins and strategically position itself at the intersection of crypto and decentralized AI infrastructure.
