$PHA and $NEAR are key technology providers for Venice AI:

Venice AI relies on two TEE infrastructure providers:

• NEAR AI Cloud

• Phala Network

Both run model inference inside hardware enclaves (GPU TEEs), providing cryptographic attestation and privacy guarantees, ensuring that neither Venice nor the infrastructure provider can access users’ prompts or data.

Phala provides its dstack architecture and Trust Center for attestation verification, while NEAR delivers its own implementation.

In addition:

- Phala and Near are actively collaborating in the Сonfidential AI / TEE space:

- Phala, together with NEAR AI, developed the first open-source Private ML SDK for NEAR, creating the foundation for private and verifiable AI agents on NEAR.

- The NEAR Foundation launched NEAR AI Cloud with Phala integration.
