Code isn’t the secret. The secrets are in the code. Cline + TeeChat OpenAPI — mid-size model (so far), confidential chat. Tests, regressions, docs, scripts — without shipping that context to a vendor that can read it. teechat.ai/blog/openapi-with…

We haven’t talked enough about Free Local in TeeChat. Install Ollama, pull Qwen 3.6 or Gemma 4, point the desktop app at it. No account. Prompts stay on your machine. Search still needs the web. A small task model writes the queries — not the 31B. You bring your own search API (Brave, etc.). Those queries do leave the machine. History is markdown in a folder you choose — not our cloud, not a local database. It is not ChatGPT. A 31B plus search pages will eat 32GB, and long context makes TTFT worse. For homelab scripts, logs, and drafts you review yourself, it is enough. Hosted is separate: we never see the prompt (encrypted to the engine). Same folder. Not anonymous. Desktop only.

TeeChat choice (by design): • No public chat share URLs / short links • No sitemap of conversations • Share = copy or export under your control Cut the crawl surface first. Then harden the server path.

This week’s Claude share-link indexing story isn’t a hack. It’s what happens when “anyone with the link” is a real webpage—and indexing isn’t default-blocked. Thread: what we refuse to ship, and how you can check.

New on the blog: Beyond "opt out of training" — how confidential computing defines data sovereignty in the AI era. Four myths we hear in security reviews: → Plaintext inference is inevitable → Training opt-out is enough → Redaction fixes everything → Only the biggest model works Mechanism-level answers + citations.

If you've ever asked "who can read my prompt when the model runs?" — that's the bar we built for. Try TeeChat → chat.teechat.ai Learn more → teechat.ai RT if your team pastes client material into AI. ☕🔒

Apple's Private Cloud Compute raised awareness: cloud AI can be privacy-shaped. TeeChat applies that to work chat you own — long threads, Research, Deck Studio — with verification you can show, not just a keynote.

Built for ordinary professional moments: • Lawyer redlining an NDA • Biotech sanity-checking an IND outline • Founder rehearsing investor objections • Employee rewriting a resume with real employer names Not paranoia — incentives.

"Trust us" isn't enough for client questionnaires. Open Settings → Verify before you send sensitive work. See trust evidence for the engine handling your prompt. Audit the stack: github.com/Lightec-AI/OPE

Something must decrypt to run the model. That job goes to our open-source InferenceEngine — inside a TEE (CPU + GPU confidential computing), not on a generic admin laptop. Gateway blind. Engine measured. Model runs.

When you use hosted AI at chat.teechat.ai: Your client encrypts before send. Our gateway forwards ciphertext only — it shouldn't need your plain text to route. Open blueprints. A measured vault. Verify before you trust.
