There are also encrypted AI chatbots like Tinfoil and Confer that E2E encrypt all data to a secure hardware enclave. I also use Claude and OpenAI for non-privacy needing tasks, but use Kimi-k2 on tinfoil when I need privacy. Kimi-k2 feels close enough to SOTA so I'm happy with it.
This is so puzzling. If they’re not selling a user base, a brand or proprietary tech, then it does make it look like an acqui-hire as someone mentioned. But why acqui-hire a team that hasn’t built anything special? This makes me think there might be IP on the pendant product design that Meta wants.
