Tether has released QVAC TranslatePsy / Afri SLM, a lightweight, open-source AI translation model designed for users across Africa. The model runs entirely on-device, is free, and works fully offline, translating 19 African languages natively. The company frames the release as addressing the digital divide, suggesting uses such as education in village squares, agricultural knowledge sharing, and delivering medical information in local languages. Tether says it is "bringing AI into their world" rather than the reverse, and links to further details on its website covering African and European language models.
