Tether released QVAC Botpsy on Nov. 11, according to its announcement. The 800-million-parameter AI assistant runs locally on phones or computers and is publicly available on Hugging Face.
Tether says Botpsy beat all other models with 1.2 billion parameters or fewer in its six benchmark tests. It also scored higher than Alibaba’s 2.5-times-larger Qwen3.5-2B-Think on four of the tests. Tether plans to explore links between its QVAC models so phones could send demanding tasks to home computers over encrypted connections; it did not say that feature is available.
