Secret Network has announced the launch of Claive AI, a decentralized platform that aims to provide secure and confidential artificial intelligence (AI) services to business users.
Claive AI combines blockchain and confidential computing
According to the announcement shared with Bitcoin.com News, the platform uses Secret Network’s privacy-preserving blockchain technology, focusing on secure and confidential AI interactions. Built on a framework that leverages Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) and Nvidia Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), Claive AI aims to ensure that user data, including metadata and payment information, remains inaccessible to unauthorized entities.
The Secret Network team believes this approach addresses concerns about privacy violations and data misuse that are common with centralized AI solutions. Developers working with Claive AI can use the open source software and native software development kit (SDK) to integrate confidential AI services. The platform introduces two primary roles within its ecosystem: developers and worker node operators.
Secret explained that developers can connect directly to operators, who provide computing resources, streamlining access without additional infrastructure. Claive AI’s tokenized incentives are a crucial part of its ecosystem. Payments within the platform use Secret Network’s confidential SNIP20 tokens, such as sSCRT, sUSDC and SILK.
Worker nodes, the announcement details, are required to stake SCRT tokens to participate, with a portion of the revenue redistributed for the benefit of SCRT stakers. In its initial rollout, Claive AI will focus on large language model inference (LLM), with plans to expand to other AI capabilities in future phases. Alex Zaidelson, CEO of Secret Network, explained that the initiative aims to position Secret Network as a leader in privacy-focused AI technologies.
“Claive AI isn’t just about technology – it’s about putting people in control of their AI experiences,” Zaidelson noted. “Whether you’re a developer building the next big application or a user creating a simple chatbot, Claive AI gives you the tools to innovate with confidence.”
The launch of Claive AI reflects a growing trend towards decentralized solutions in the enterprise AI market, addressing both technological and ethical challenges related to data security and user trust.
