  "description": "Confidential AI (Inexorable, Inc.) serves open-weight models inside Intel TDX confidential VMs on its open-source c8s platform, with NVIDIA GPUs in confidential-compute mode. The public /attestation endpoint returns fresh nonce-bound c8s receipts for every workload in the serving cluster — gateway, router, inference workers, and supporting services — including Intel TDX quotes, pinned image measurements, mesh identity proofs, and NVIDIA GPU evidence. A post-quantum over-encryption tunnel (ML-KEM-768 + X25519) terminates inside the attested TEE.",
