Best fit

Teams building around private data or verifiable execution.

Private AI products

Prompts, datasets, model weights, or agent state need a private runtime.

GPU TEE workloads

You need confidential inference, fine-tuning, or training capacity.

Verifiable agents

Outputs, actions, or backend jobs need execution evidence.

Regulated data apps

Healthcare, finance, or enterprise data cannot leave the trust boundary.
