🔐 Introducing PrivateInference (PI) 🤔 What: 0 compromise private inference - wholesale or retail - one API key, one funded session, access to a universe of open and closed-weightg models from the leading labs, including OpenAI and Anthropic. No supplier accounts, no subscriptions. ✅ 💭 Why: 1. Prompts have become highly sensitive data: unlike search queries, they can reveal reasoning, contracts, medical records, unreleased code, negotiations, and other confidential context. This information remains exposed on third-party servers during processing. 2. “Private inference” gets thrown around loosely: people normally think TEE - open weight models where execution is encrypted on the hardware level. Indeed, TEE can protect memory but a gateway still reads your prompt. Zero-retention policies constrain future use, not present visibility. Privacy is a chain — identity, payment, routing, and execution each need their own boundary, and a transaction is only as private as its weakest link. ⚙️ How: 🌐 Private settlement for tokens on Aztec mainnet (sender, recipient, amount never go onchain) 💳 One session funds many calls across models and inference providers 🔀 Provider routing with per-request zero data retention where supported 📅 When: 🟢 Live soon on the @aztecnetwork mainnet - settlement + session billing.  Next up: 🪪 conditional zkKYC (prove eligibility, not identity), blind routing, and an attested TEE execution tier with no fallback to a standard route if privacy can't be guaranteed.

🤖Your agent's transaction history is your business strategy, published in real time. Your commerce patterns for the entire internet to see. Portfolio allocations readily available for others to copy and exploit... etc. etc. You got the point. 🔐Every API it pays for, every price it accepts, every counterparty, goods or service it chooses is visible to anyone watching the chain. For autonomous agents doing real work, transparency is more of a bug rather than a feature, so... ⏳In two weeks: Private x402. Settlement nobody else can see. Compliance intact. @GalacticaNet x @aztecnetwork

Honoured to be building with @AztecNetwork 🤝 This collaboration is a testament to their world-class engineering — Noir is an outstanding DSL, and the thriving Aztec ecosystem is what makes privacy-first identity truly scalable. This collab is also a quiet nod to the zkKYC logic we’ve been grinding on for years. Honestly? It’s the best work we’ve ever done — and it’s becoming the foundation for how Web3 identity actually works. Tomorrow, we’ve got something else to share. Just a little something. 👀 Privacy without identity doesn’t scale. Identity without privacy shouldn’t exist. Compliant privacy is how the real world comes on-chain.
