We’re excited to announce that NEAR AI has joined NVIDIA’s Inception program to further our mission to build verifiable, privacy-preserving AI, where every computation is private and every result provable.
NVIDIA Inception is designed to support companies pushing the boundaries of applied AI. Through the program, NEAR AI gains access to NVIDIA’s technical expertise, advanced tooling, and GPU resources, enabling us to accelerate development while meeting the rigorous performance, security, and reliability standards required by enterprise users.
Accelerating Enterprise-Ready AI Infrastructure
As AI systems move into regulated and high-stakes environments—finance, healthcare, government, and critical infrastructure—verifiability becomes as important as performance. Enterprises increasingly require guarantees beyond just model accuracy, such as data privacy, execution integrity, and auditability.
Participating in NVIDIA Inception allows NEAR AI to further optimize its infrastructure for scale while aligning with a global standard-setter in AI hardware and compute. These resources support faster iteration, deeper optimization of AI workloads, and tighter integration with production-grade environments.
Secure Computation with NVIDIA Confidential Computing
A core component of the NEAR AI stack is NVIDIA Confidential Computing, which enables AI workloads to run inside hardware-isolated, trusted execution environments. This architecture ensures that sensitive data remains protected not only at rest and in transit, but also during computation, a critical requirement for enterprise and government use cases.
By combining confidential computing with cryptographic verification, NEAR AI provides the infrastructure for AI systems to be independently verified without exposing proprietary data or user inputs. This approach enables collaboration, compliance, and trust without sacrificing privacy.
Building Toward Verifiable, User-Owned AI
NEAR AI is building toward a future where AI systems are transparent by design, verifiable by default, and aligned with user and enterprise interests. Joining NVIDIA Inception reinforces our commitment to building infrastructure that can support real-world adoption at scale, while meeting the expectations of organizations operating in sensitive and regulated environments.
We are excited to collaborate with NVIDIA and the broader Inception ecosystem as we continue to develop AI systems that are not only powerful, but secure, enterprise-ready, and user-owned.
