Infrastructure built for privacy.
Tinfoil makes your AI workloads secure, verifiable, and private.
“Running our own custom Docker container on Tinfoil Containers is a major unlock. It lets us run our full end-to-end system in trusted hardware using the same simple Python SDK we already use to call Tinfoil's embedding and LLM models. Serverless enclaves have finally arrived!”
“When building The Open Anonymity Project at Stanford and UMich, we were using Azure's confidential containers (ACI) which is a nightmare to set up correctly, from TLS certificate binding, hardware measurements, reproducible image digests, etc. We can do the same thing on Tinfoil Containers in <20mins with the nice attestation SDK, clear docs, debug mode, almost zero update down time, and transparent architecture that everyone can audit.”
“We have fast deployment cycles for servers that we run on Tinfoil TEEs to guarantee customer privacy. Tinfoil Containers makes the TEE deployment friction almost nonexistent and lets us iterate quickly. It's an important step towards the future where most ML workloads are secured by running on verifiably-private TEEs.”
Privacy of local.
Power of cloud.
Tinfoil runs AI models inside secure hardware enclaves. This gives you the privacy of local AI with the power of cloud computing.

Our Mission
Tinfoil was founded to create the private garden for thought.
As AI becomes more personal, omnipresent, and powerful, protecting the privacy of our conversations, thoughts, memories, and intellectual property is what preserves human relevance. AI should be an exoskeleton that empowers humans rather than replaces them. We are building the technical privacy safeguards to make this possible, using encryption, secure hardware, and other means to make it impossible for third parties to access your brain: a prerequisite for human empowerment and flourishing.
