This is all very ambitious. I am not exactly sure where someone is supposed to start. With the connections to Pear and Tether I can see where the lines meet, but is the idea that someone takes this and builds…Skynet? AI Cryptocurrency schemes? Just a local LLM chat?
Although an LLM chat is the starting point for many, there are many other use cases. We had people build domotics systems to control their house using natural language, vision based assistants for surveillance (e.g. send a notification describing what's happening instead of a classic "Movement detected") etc. and everything remains on your device / in your network.
That line means that you don't need to create an account and get an API key from a provider (i.e. "asking for permission") to run inference. The main advantage is precisely that local AI runs on your terms, including how data is handled, and provably so, unlike cloud APIs where there's still an element of trust with the operator.

You can build anything! Check out our tutorials here: https://docs.qvac.tether.io/sdk/tutorials/

Do you really mean/want to say:
>...and without permission on any device.
I would be much more interested in a tool which only allows AI to run within the boundaries which I choose and only when I grant my permission.

OIC.
Should it be re-worded so as to make that unambiguous?
thoughts on mesh-llm?
The modular philosophy of the full stack is to give you the building blocks for exactly this also :)
Looking through the balance of the material, I can see that, but on first glance, this seems a confusible point.
Hey folks, I'm part of the QVAC team. Happy to answer any questions!
