Apex Ant is a Venice-only inference router on the AntSeed P2P network. Prompts and responses are never logged or persisted, only token counts and costs. The buyer stack (gateway + mux, the part that holds user keys) already runs inside an attested hardware TEE, verified live below. The seller stack (inference routing) is policy-enforced today; moving it into a TEE as well is on the roadmap.
The hosted buyer stack (mux + gateway) runs inside a Phala Cloud Intel TDX enclave. This block compares the live hardware quote of the running VM against image digests published in the public repo, refreshed every minute. Green: the code holding your keys is exactly the code you can read.

Prompts arrive over AntSeed's end-to-end encrypted transport (X25519 + AES-256-GCM) and are proxied in memory. Never written to disk, logs, or databases. We persist only token counts, model name, latency, and a pseudonymous peer id.
Inference runs exclusively on Venice AI private-tier capacity, a provider contractually committed to not logging prompts. Upstream credentials live in memory-only pools, never on disk.
Responses stream straight back through the encrypted channel. Nothing is cached or stored: no response bodies, no embeddings of them, no "abuse-prevention" retention.
Content is never persisted. Operational metadata only: token counts, latency, error codes.
Seller-side access is single-operator, key-only, and audited. The buyer stack has no interactive access at all; it runs inside the attested TEE above.
API users fund their own buyer address in the AntSeed escrow contract on Base. We never custody deposits. Your buyer key backup lets you withdraw without our involvement, even if we vanish.
The buyer gateway and mux are fully open source: read exactly what is kept and what is discarded, line by line, and match it against the live attestation above.
Our pricing promise is verifiable today: the live board is regenerated from public Venice list prices. The live attestation block for the buyer stack is at the top of this page:
