I had a similar question here too, same answer would apply to Venice: #867897
Lightning payments should enable less friction than credit card payments, not add more, right?
I disagree. I don't think anyone wants to think about payments, especially if they have to do it every single month. We'll consider it in the future once zaprite integrates at least email-based notifications/subscriptions.

They are typically either proxies to other cloud AI providers or hosted on their own infra, unencrypted. It's pretty much a "we're a vpn that doesn't keep logs" kind of relationship.
Ours uses verifiable techniques to ensure that not only we can't inspect or tamper with it, but it also secures the AI chat all the way to the GPU model. So in no way is the chat viewed unencrypted anywhere except when you decrypt and view it yourself.
The bitcoin plan is priced yearly, and the monthly plan amount is showing a discount of 50% for just 3 months.
Unfortunately I think other claims of "private" is pretty fast and loose too. What almost everyone else is doing is akin to being a "vpn that promises not to log", but you don't know that.
With us, we're hosting things in the secure enclave of a server, with proof that it's running the expected code. This expected code shows there's no privacy leakage occurring or sensitive logs.

I'm also excited by the reproduction efforts underway to reproduce R1 with open data too. The whole stack being truly open source is gonna be wild.

We're talking with our GPU provider now about this. I want this badly. For now it's Llama 3.3 70B.
Run it locally. It’s not censored. It’s only being applied on their hosted model, as almost all hosted AI services do to some degree.
Been using it almost 2 years now. I use their VM feature and spin up a nix VM with my own nix files configuration and do all of my development in it. Can’t ever go back. My Mac has no dev libraries or programs installed. All my projects manage their own nix dev environment.
Appreciate the kind words. I think you're especially right in the regards that I finally needed to do something instead of just being an employee at many bitcoin companies for many years.
My efforts in this space are technically challenging/impressive yet unnecessary and don't matter.
With this comment, I just meant that I did a lot of hard unique things, but in the end it didn't really matter, especially from the aspect of shutting the wallet down after a relatively short lifetime for a wallet. I think the talks and insights may have made a bigger longstanding overall impact, but again, lightning privacy is still pretty laughable and not much has changed since the article I published many years ago.
Yeah, our socials have switched over to OpenSecret. When the wallet officially shuts down at the end of the year, won't be using Mutiny anywhere anymore.
Awesome, glad to hear! And yeah I myself am a heavy users of apps that could be self hosted but have a cloud offering that still uses E2EE (like obsidian) so I don't have to trust their cloud as much.
That's kinda what excites me the most about some of this confidential compute stuff. If you could verify that the cloud is running the code you expect, and can't be tampered (or even memory inspected) then it really redefines the relationship we have with the cloud. Instead of being held hostage or dependent upon it, it makes the cloud work for us. Kinda what the whole internet should have been.
Llama 3.1 70B, just text right now. We might be able to expand to images and other models next year.
