Tether Bets Big on AI—Launches Open-Source Platform with Bitcoin & USDT Payments
Tether—the stablecoin giant behind USDT—just threw its hat into the AI ring. Their new open-source platform promises to integrate crypto payments, letting users transact in Bitcoin and, of course, their own dollar-pegged token. Because what’s innovation without a little self-interest?
Why This Matters:
While Big Tech hoards AI models behind paywalls, Tether’s open approach could democratize access—or at least give crypto maximalists another reason to hype ‘decentralized’ solutions. Just don’t ask how they’ll handle the energy bills for training models.
The Cynic’s Take:
Another day, another corporate pivot to AI. At least this one accepts Bitcoin—so you can lose money on *two* volatile assets at once.
