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." Against the backdrop of large technology companies continuously building closed AI systems, Tether is pushing for development in the opposite direction, exploring solutions for running AI models on local devices through QVAC, enabling users to control their own data and computing power. This model is more in line with the core concept of "self-custody" in the crypto industry, that is, users should have autonomy over their data and computing resources.
