Cevell Minimalist Infrastructure

USE YOUR AI. FOR ANYTHING.

Every bit of data is encrypted at the hardware level,
so no third party, not even us, can ever see it.

THE PROBLEM

You've been holding back.

Proprietary code. Confidential documents. Customer information. Internal knowledge. Sensitive workloads you've had to keep away from AI.

Every major AI provider decrypts and processes your data on infrastructure you don't control. Encryption in transit protects the wire — not the server.

Cevell changes that.

Hardware-level Silicon Security
BRING YOUR OWN COMPUTE

Free BYOC Access.
Run on your cloud platform.

Deploy confidential AI enclaves directly inside your own cloud platform project with prefix-locked IAM security. Cevell BYOC access is 100% Free — you only pay raw compute at cost to your cloud provider. For managed dedicated clusters, contact our enterprise team.

01 FREE TIER

100% Free BYOC Orchestration

Free BYOC access with $0 platform orchestration fees. Launch CVMs directly in your own cloud account and pay raw Spot (~65% savings) or On-Demand GPU rates directly to your cloud provider.

$0 / month platform fee
02 ZERO TRUST

Prefix-Locked IAM Boundaries

Onboard in 5 seconds via cloud web terminal or Windows PowerShell. Permissions are strictly scoped to cevell-* resources. Zero key storage, zero persistence, zero data leaks.

Full tenant isolation
03 PAID MANAGED

Managed Dedicated Clusters

Need turnkey, fully managed confidential infrastructure without managing cloud accounts? We deploy and operate dedicated Hopper H100 and Intel TDX clusters with enterprise SLAs.

ARCHITECTURE

Make trust unnecessary.
Here's how.

Cryptographic protection at every stage of the inference lifecycle.

01 CLIENT

Encrypt

Your data is encrypted on your device with AES-256-GCM before it touches the network.

02 TRANSIT

Transmit

Encrypted payload moves over TLS 1.3. The transport layer never sees plaintext.

03 HARDWARE

Attest

Your client verifies the remote server is running inside a genuine hardware-encrypted enclave before sending any data.

04 ISOLATION

Execute

The model runs inside hardware-isolated memory. The host OS, hypervisor, and cloud provider cannot read it.

05 EPHEMERAL

Wipe

Response is encrypted back to your client key. All session memory is purged. Nothing is stored.

DEVELOPERS

Drop-in API. Same code.
Private inference.

Point your existing OpenAI SDK at Cevell. Same endpoints, same response format. One line change.

cevell-inference.py
# pip install cevell-tunnel openai
from openai import OpenAI
from cevell_tunnel import ConfidentialTransport

# 1. Initialize confidential transport pointing to your CVM endpoint
# Automatically audits hardware silicon attestation & encrypts requests via RFC 9180 HPKE
transport = ConfidentialTransport(
    ip="<cvm_public_ip>",
    auth_key="~/.cevell/tenant.pem",
    verify_attestation=True,
)

# 2. Use standard OpenAI SDK - zero prompt exposure in transit or memory
client = OpenAI(
    base_url=transport.base_url,
    api_key="EMPTY",
    http_client=transport,
)

stream = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a private financial analyst."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Analyze confidential portfolio risk exposure..."}
    ],
    stream=True
)

for chunk in stream:
    print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content or "", end="", flush=True)
01

OpenAI SDK Compatible

Change one line — the base URL. Your existing codebase works as-is. No refactoring.

02

Hardware Attestation Built In

The SDK verifies the enclave's hardware attestation signature before sending any data. Automatic.

03

Encrypted Streaming

Real-time token streaming over TLS 1.3. Each chunk is decrypted on your client.

SECURITY DEEP DIVE

What "can't access your data"
means, technically.

Structural, hardware-enforced privacy guarantees backed by verifiable cryptography.

HARDWARE TEE

Hardware Memory Encryption

Every VM runs with hardware memory encryption enforced at the silicon level by the processor's security engine. The hypervisor and host OS are excluded from the trust boundary.

INTEGRITY

Immutable Operating System

The root filesystem is locked with dm-verity — a Merkle hash tree that verifies every disk block at boot. No runtime modification is possible.

AUTHENTICATION

Cryptographic Request Signing

Every API request is signed with Ed25519. Sliding-window nonce validation prevents replay attacks.

FORWARD SECRECY

Ephemeral Key Exchange

Session keys use X25519 Diffie-Hellman with HKDF-SHA256. Keys are generated per session and never stored.

VERIFIABLE

Open Source Runtime

The enclave runtime, proxy, and initrd are open source. Builds are deterministic via Nix. You can reproduce and verify every binary hash.

ZERO TRUST

Zero Retention

No prompts. No responses. No logs. Session memory is wiped after every request. There is nothing to subpoena.

Cevell Private AI

Private AI starts here.

Deploy verifiable, hardware-enclaved inference for your sensitive workloads.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Your data is processed inside hardware-encrypted memory that the server operator physically cannot read. This isn't a software policy — it's a constraint enforced by the processor's security engine at the silicon level. Even someone with root access to the host machine cannot inspect what's happening inside the enclave.

No. Your data is encrypted on your device before it's sent. It's only decrypted inside the hardware enclave, which Cevell infrastructure does not have access to. You can verify this yourself through cryptographic attestation — a hardware-signed proof that the enclave is genuine and unmodified.

Cevell runs any model compatible with the vLLM inference engine. That includes Qwen, Llama, DeepSeek, and custom fine-tuned models. You can load models directly from HuggingFace into your sealed enclave.

No. If you use the OpenAI SDK, change one line — the base URL. Cevell is fully compatible with OpenAI's chat completions API, including streaming. Python, TypeScript, and cURL are supported.

It's gone. Session memory is wiped immediately after the response is sent. No prompts, responses, keys, or metadata are retained anywhere. There are no logs to export, review, or subpoena.

The Cevell SDK automatically requests a hardware attestation report from the processor's security engine before sending data. This is a cryptographic proof — signed by the processor's hardware key — that the server is running genuine, untampered enclave code. You can also verify manually from the CLI.
