Tether Launches AI Framework That Runs on Smartphones

[johnblockbuster]

Tether is pushing deeper into AI with a new training framework that lets developers fine-tune large language models directly on consumer devices — including smartphones.

Built using Microsoft’s BitNet architecture and LoRA techniques, the system dramatically reduces memory and compute requirements, making AI development more accessible beyond high-end GPUs.

Tether says models with up to 1 billion parameters can be trained on phones in under two hours, signaling a major shift toward decentralized, on-device AI.
