The NEAR AI Cloud provides end-to-end confidential and verifiable AI inference, meaning user prompts and responses are private and cannot be accessed by others. This platform serves open-weight models and aims to offer transparency in AI interactions.
“But what you get as a user developer is an AI... inference that is end-to-end confidential. What does this mean? There's nobody else who can actually access what queries you're putting into this, what prompts, what responses you get.”
“And so we are effectively the provider that gives you this verifiability that you ran on this specific model, right? The hash of the model The prompt that you put in, right, the only this prompt was there, and this is output, right? You get the attestation signed with effectively a chain of provenance, including the specific GPU you had, specific Intel CPU you had, and effectively the encryption of that, you know, the hashes and everything.”
