Claims
- NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs with Confidential Computing are now integrated into Apple's Private Cloud Compute as it expands to Google Cloud.
- Apple Foundation Models running in PCC are built in collaboration with Google and leverage Gemini family model technologies.
- Confidential Computing isolates workloads in trusted execution environments so that no party, including infrastructure operators, can access user data.
- Remote attestation allows software to cryptographically verify that hardware has not been tampered with before sensitive data is transmitted.
- This deployment reflects a broader industry shift toward combining on-device and cloud-based AI processing with strong privacy guarantees.
Key quotes
For end users, NVIDIA Confidential Computing means that no one, not even the system's builders, can look at their data, chats or conversations.
Remote attestation, enabling software to verify the security state of the platform before releasing sensitive data.
As AI experiences combine on-device and cloud-based processing for their tasks, there's a need for high-performance, server-side inference while maintaining strong privacy and security guarantees.
