Build with QVAC - Developer Day at Urbe Hub

Spend an afternoon building with the team behind QVAC, Tether's local-first AI stack.

QVAC runs AI locally: private, on-device inference with no cloud dependency. The problems it works on are the hard ones, low-level inference, on-device fine-tuning, cross-platform SDKs, edge and P2P systems. On June 30 in Rome, selected developers spend an afternoon working on them, hands on the stack, next to the people who build it.

In the evening the day flows into the AI Forum on Open vs Closed AI, open to a wider room, with a QVAC representative on stage.

Who this is for

A session for experienced builders. You'll get the most out of it if you work with one or more of:

AI engineering and applied ML

LLM fine-tuning, inference, and optimization

On-device, mobile, or edge AI

Low-level performance and hardware-aware ML

Distributed, P2P, or decentralized systems

Applied cryptography and privacy-preserving infrastructure

You don’t need to know QVAC already. You do need to be someone who ships at this level

Why come

Build on the real QVAC stack with a concrete challenge, not a toy demo.

Direct time with the QVAC engineering team. They are growing it, and this is a real line to them.

A room with some of Rome's strongest builders.

Hosted at Urbe Hub 🏛️

Urbe Hub is Rome's home for builders working with frontier technologies. A coworking and events space for developers, researchers, founders, and anyone working with AI, blockchain, and emerging tech.

We run a continuous programme of workshops, talks, forums, and building sessions on the tools, frameworks, and ideas shaping technology today.

The Hub is also a workspace. If you're looking for a place to build alongside others from Rome's tech scene, come find us.
