The project aims to build a democratic infrastructure for AI agents that are personalized to individual users and independent from the infrastructure of tech giants. Tether’s solution stands as a strong competitor to systems like Cocoon, unlocking new growth opportunities in the decentralized streaming and AI deployment market.
This development could significantly reshape the AI industry’s future by making AI more accessible and secure, while enabling novel applications that operate locally on user devices without cloud data transfers.
