🔐 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.

🔐 For years, Galactica has been building privacy infrastructure, with a particular focus on private identity: enabling users to prove required facts without revealing the underlying personal data. 🤖 The rise of autonomous AI agents has made this work even more relevant. As agents begin to access services, select models, make payments and complete transactions on behalf of people and organizations, they need privacy-preserving ways to demonstrate authorization, eligibility and payment. 🤝 Together with our partners at @aztecnetwork , we identified delegated KYC for AI agents as a particularly important application of our zkKYC primitives. A user should be able to grant an agent a limited, verifiable credential; the agent should be able to prove eligibility without exposing the underlying identity documents; and the resulting payment should not create a public trail that makes the user's activity easy to reconstruct. 🧮 But identity is only one part of the problem. The emergence of AI has created an entirely new range of applications for modern cryptography, particularly around inference the process at the core of every AI system and, increasingly, everyday digital services. Our work has therefore expanded from private identity to private settlement and private inference. 🎯 This leads to our broader mission: bringing privacy to the entire AI inference value chain. 🧠 Private identity protects the party behind a request and allows users or agents to prove only the facts required for access. Private settlement prevents payment activity from becoming a public record of user behavior. Private inference protects prompts, context and outputs during computation. 🙈 These layers cannot be treated as separate privacy problems. A hidden prompt is not truly private if identity, payment history, model selection or usage patterns can still reveal the user's intent. Our goal is to connect identity, settlement and inference into a single system in which every stage discloses only the minimum information necessary. 🚀 This is what we are excited to build with Aztec and other partners. As AI becomes an execution layer for everyday life, privacy must become a native property of its infrastructure not an optional feature added afterward. 🌐 By combining zero-knowledge identity, private settlement and confidential inference, we have an opportunity to build an AI economy in which both people and autonomous agents can prove, pay and compute without surrendering unnecessary information.

🚨 Alpha Friday is today! 3PM UTC, in Discord. Special guest @Zac_Aztec, CEO & Co-founder of @aztecnetwork - talking private settlement, agent payments, and what's next for privacy. Don't miss it 👇 discord.com/channels/1051876…

🤖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

Crypto needs privacy.

Social media bans create the same problem everywhere: Kids route around them Adults get forced through ID gates Privacy becomes collateral damage The future can’t be population-wide identity checks. It has to be selective disclosure.
