In one sentence: Prem API gives you AI through the same API that you already know, but no person can see your data. Prem servers, Prem staff, and the infrastructure provider cannot see your data. The hardware enforces this protection. You can verify this protection cryptographically.

The Problem

When you use a standard AI API today, your data goes through servers that you do not control. This data includes your prompts, files, and conversations. The provider can read everything. HTTPS protects the data in transit. But after the data arrives, the data is plaintext on the provider’s infrastructure. For many teams, this risk is acceptable. But some teams work with patient records, financial data, legal documents, or trade secrets. Regulations or good judgment say that this information must stay private. For these teams, standard AI APIs require trust that they cannot verify. Prem API removes the need for this unverified trust.

What Prem API Does

Prem API (Prem Confidential Compute Infrastructure) gives you the same AI capabilities as any OpenAI-compatible API, with one fundamental difference. The system encrypts your data from end to end. All processing occurs inside tamper-proof hardware that no person can access.

Encrypted in Transit

Your device encrypts the data before the data leaves. The network carries only encrypted bytes.

Encrypted at Rest

The system stores files and keys in encrypted form. No plaintext goes to Prem storage.

Encrypted in Use

Processing occurs inside hardware-sealed environments. These environments are Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). A person with physical access to the server cannot extract your data.

The Comparison with a Standard AI API

Who Prem API Is For

Regulated Industries

Healthcare, finance, legal, and government organizations that must obey HIPAA, GDPR, nFADP, SOC 2, or internal compliance mandates when they use AI.

AI Application Builders

Development teams that build products on LLMs and must guarantee data privacy to their users. These teams do not have to build custom infrastructure.

Security-First Organizations

Teams for which data privacy is a hard technical requirement, not only a policy item. For these teams, a promise from the provider is not sufficient.

Enterprises with Sensitive IP

Companies that want to use AI for internal documents, proprietary code, or strategic planning. These companies do not want to show this information to third parties.

What You Can Do Today

Prem API is a direct replacement for OpenAI-compatible APIs. If you used ChatGPT or an OpenAI-compatible service before, you know the interface. All functions operate the same, but with encryption:
  • Chat with AI models: Streaming conversations, multi-step reasoning, and tool use
  • Transcribe and translate audio: Upload recordings and get text back
Each of these capabilities operates fully inside hardware-sealed environments on the Prem confidential infrastructure. Prem hosts all models itself. Your data does not leave the Prem CVMs. The system does not send requests to third-party AI providers. Your data is plaintext only on your device and in the sealed processing environment.

Get Started

You can integrate Prem API into an application, or you can evaluate Prem API for your organization. The procedure is the same:
1

Install the SDK

2

Create a client with your encryption key

3

Use it exactly like OpenAI

If you use Python, Go, or a different language, use the local proxy server that the SDK includes. Point your existing OpenAI client at the local proxy server. The proxy applies encryption automatically. You do not have to change your code.

How It Works

Learn the architecture: the function of each component and the data flow through the system.

Security Model

Examine the trust model: TEEs, attestation, the threat model, and the known limitations.

Developer Experience
