Definition

The term, in context

AI-assisted draft · approved dataset

Tinfoil private inference runs hosted model inference inside hardware-attested confidential enclaves, so the operator of the service cannot read the prompts or outputs passing through it. Clients check a remote attestation covering the enclave and the exact code image before sending data, which shifts the confidentiality argument from a written policy to a hardware measurement the client can examine itself.
