A post by @tether on X.

Tether announced that its 800-million-parameter AI agent outperforms models 2.5 times larger on everyday smartphone tasks, according to a company post. The stablecoin issuer, whose USDT token anchors a market cap in the tens of billions, is pushing beyond digital dollars into on-device artificial intelligence. The claim positions Tether against much larger rivals in the race to run capable AI locally on phones rather than in the cloud. Details on benchmarks, model architecture and release timing remain limited to the company's own newsroom post. Watch for independent evaluations and whether Tether ties the agent to its stablecoin or wallet products.
