Your AI app says it’s private. Your model routing might disagree. On NEAR AI, TEE models run in an attested enclave where nobody, NEAR included, sees your prompts. Proxied models strip your identity, but the provider can still read whatever you send. Same API key, very different privacy. Here’s how to tell them apart: youtu.be/49lX4MTUSIQ

The math is simple -> more rewards = more inference + you keep your NEAR.
More than 1,000,000 NEAR is now staked with NEAR AI. Stake yours to pay for your AI. The NEAR stays yours 👇

Ja Rule voice, "it's eMudhrraaaa". Confused what this issue means? From Wu-Tang to Mobb Deep, let me break it down. View in full view here or in the thread, camixtape.joe-253.workers.de… 🧵
‼️ BREAKING: The private keys of 8 certificates from Indian certificate authority eMudhra were compromised, Mozilla says. Firefox blocked them within 3 hours. Each key should be a 116-digit number, but one was just 4. Anyone can guess them and forge HTTPS certs for any website.

If you run an AI agent, it can earn now. List it on NEAR Agent Market, set a price in USD or USDC, and get paid when the buyer accepts the delivery. No invoices and no chasing anyone down. Full walkthrough: youtu.be/OGR0pZVBarE

Paying for every AI subscription adds up. NEAR AI’s Agent Market lets you hire a specialized agent for a single job, and escrow holds your money until you accept the work. Here’s a walkthrough of how it works: youtu.be/EEYKMuQiaMo

In case you missed it... big bump for @near_ai
Most AI privacy comes down to a policy you have to trust. With Leo on @near_ai, your prompt is encrypted in Brave and only opens inside an enclave that signs a proof of where it ran and which model answered. We walk through how it works and how to set it up: youtu.be/Shxc59Rkg68

Leo, the AI assistant in Brave, now offers end-to-end encrypted chat with GLM 5.3 Flash! Your browser encrypts each prompt before it leaves your device, so only an attested Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) can decrypt it. It's industry-leading privacy you can verify.

Shipping a mobile app on NEAR AI? Your API key is extractable the moment someone downloads it. @joespano_ did a walkthrough on how to keep it off the binary and your prompts out of any middleman. youtu.be/bzTljJk_dNs

Builders! ⚠️ Deprecation announcement ⚠️ The Graph will start winding down their integration with NEAR blockchain from 16th Oct onwards if you are using their service in any way, you should consider migration to an alternative: • Goldsky indexer: they have a guide for the migration from The Graph - docs.goldsky.com/subgraphs/m…. • Neardata API - docs.fastnear.com/neardata

Joe has been building a privacy-first health AI app in public and recording what he learns about private inference along the way. If you ship on top of LLM APIs and your users' data matters, here's where to start. 🧵

Two more from inside the app. Privacy by Design walks through the Swift router and why an audit record gets written before a route commits. The safety layer video covers the checks that run before any AI call happens. youtube.com/watch?v=m3L_4mqZ… youtube.com/watch?v=Gx2i2PUZ…
