"Brave Software has joined the rush to make using cloud-based AI services more private. The browser maker has begun offering Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) for the cloud-based AI models made available to Brave users. TEEs provide verifiable guarantees about the confidentiality and integrity of the data processed by a host. Presently, AI TEEs are limited to users of Brave Nightly, the browser's testing and development build, for DeepSeek V3.1, one of several models available for Leo, the company's browser-resident AI assistant."
"And when that information is visible, it invites abuse by first- and third-party vendors and by any intruders able to gain system access. It's clear from the unwanted publication of Bard (Gemini) and ChatGPT chat sessions that the dialogue between people and their AI assistants may contain sensitive information. Businesses share that concern - they're not keen to expose their data to third-party cloud services running their AI models and often need to comply with regulations that require certain info to stay private."
Brave provides Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) for cloud-based AI models used by the Leo assistant to deliver verifiable confidentiality and integrity for processed data. TEE access is currently available in Brave Nightly for DeepSeek V3.1, one of several Leo models. Leo supports both local and cloud models, with cloud deployments relying on high-performance GPUs for faster inference. Cloud inference requires data to be unencrypted while processed, creating exposure risks to vendors, intruders, and third parties. Unwanted publications of AI chat sessions and regulatory requirements drive demand for privacy-preserving cloud AI solutions.
