Summary

Tether has launched a decentralized local AI project inspired by Isaac Asimov’s Psychohistory from Foundation. The announcement points to an effort centered on local AI computing, which typically means running models on-device or within a controlled environment rather than relying entirely on centralized cloud infrastructure. The move highlights Tether’s broader push beyond stablecoins into technology tied to crypto-adjacent infrastructure and data autonomy.
