Overview
- Tether launched the QVAC SDK on Thursday, opening a toolkit that runs AI fully on local devices across iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- At its core is QVAC Fabric, a fork of llama.cpp that handles text generation, embeddings, and multimodal tasks.
- The kit bundles whisper.cpp and Parakeet for speech features and Bergamot for translation through one developer interface.
- Models move over the Holepunch peer-to-peer network, which replaces central downloads and lets devices share compute for delegated inference.
- Tether outlines a roadmap that adds decentralized training and fine-tuning plus specialized toolkits for robotics and brain–computer interfaces.
