On Wednesday, the Near Protocol announced via X that it has launched NEAR AI Cloud and Private Chat, two products that offer hardware-backed and verifiable privacy. With NEAR AI Cloud, every request runs inside Intel TDX and NVIDIA Confidential Computing hardware where data is processed in a sealed, isolated environment.
Each inference generates a cryptographic attestation proving the model ran the expected code. NEAR AI Cloud makes it easy to move existing AI workloads to a verifiably private environment. The API is fully OpenAI-compatible, so current client libraries and code paths work immediately upon migration.
Private Chat runs on NEAR AI Cloud and introduces verifiable privacy to your everyday questions and research. Everyone deserves access to the benefits of AI without the risk that their chats and data will leak.
NEAR Protocol is a decentralized application platform designed to make apps similarly usable to those on today’s web. The network runs on a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism called Nightshade, which aims to provide dynamic scalability and stabilize fees. NEAR is trading at $1.860, up 3.6% in the last 24 hours.
