Tether Data Launches 41B-Token STEM AI Dataset and On-Device Workbench

Tether frames the release as shifting AI control to users via private on‑device workflows.

Overview

  • QVAC Genesis I comprises 41 billion synthetic text tokens designed to boost reasoning in STEM-focused language models, with company-reported validation on math, physics, biology, and medical benchmarks.
  • The QVAC Workbench app runs models locally on user hardware, available now on Android and desktop platforms with iOS support announced as coming soon.
  • Supported open models include Llama, Medgemma, Qwen, Whisper, and SmolVLM, enabling training, inference, and interaction without relying on cloud services.
  • A Delegated Inference feature lets the mobile app offload computation to a desktop through a peer-to-peer connection while keeping data local and private.
  • Tether positions QVAC within a decentralized AI framework that envisions agent communication and transactions over blockchain rails, with the dataset released publicly to invite global research collaboration.
