Tether, the company behind USDT, has just made a big move: it released QVAC BotPsy, an open-source AI agent model with just 800 million parameters. It’s designed to run tasks and call tool APIs locally on personal devices like phones, without sending all your data to big cloud providers.
Small but mighty: according to Grafa, it beat Alibaba’s Qwen3.5-2B-Think, which has 2.5 times as many parameters, on four key evaluations. It also swept all six benchmarks among models of a similar size, scoring roughly twice as high as its base model.
It’s another piece of the Tether QVAC ecosystem, which already includes models for vision, speech, health, and translation. Tether CEO Ardoino puts it plainly: running AI locally gives users greater control over their data and device permissions.
Put simply, the stablecoin giant is turning “decentralized AI” from a slogan into something you can carry in your pocket: small models + local execution + open-source weights. If this approach works, AI agents won’t necessarily have to live in big tech data centers.
What do you think—is an 800-million-parameter AI agent on your phone good enough?
