Description

Confidential AI offers a secure platform for private AI inference, agent environments, and confidential computing solutions tailored for AI laboratories, inference service providers, routers, and organizations that manage sensitive data. Its hosted inference service operates open-weight models within hardware-backed trusted execution environments (TEEs), utilizing technologies such as Intel TDX and AMD SEV-SNP confidential virtual machines, paired with NVIDIA GPUs in a confidential computing configuration. The system ensures that prompts, responses, and workload information remain safeguarded from infrastructure operators, allowing clients to authenticate attestation prior to submitting sensitive information. Users have the flexibility to implement an OpenAI-compatible API to establish inference endpoints and agent workloads, or alternatively, they can acquire the confidential-computing stack for deployment on their own premises, bare metal servers, or across major cloud platforms. This service is particularly beneficial for scenarios that involve serving models while restricting operator access to prompts and model assets, as well as executing sensitive AI workloads in a dedicated confidential computing environment. Additionally, the emphasis on robust security measures fosters trust in the processing of sensitive data, enabling clients to focus on innovation without compromising privacy.
