Near Protocol launches NEAR AI cloud service and private chat feature.

Near Protocol announced two new products: the NEAR AI Cloud Service and a private chat feature. In the NEAR AI Cloud Service, each request runs within Intel TDX and NVIDIA confidential computing hardware, data is processed in a sealed and isolated environment, and each inference generates a cryptographic proof to verify that the model executed the expected code. The private chat feature, built on the NEAR AI Cloud Service, provides verifiable privacy protection for everyday question answering and research.
