What is Phala?
Phala is transforming AI deployment by offering a confidential compute architecture that protects sensitive workloads with hardware-level guarantees. Built on advanced TEE technology, Phala ensures that code, data, and model outputs remain private—even from administrators, cloud providers, and hypervisors. Its catalog of confidential AI models spans leaders like OpenAI, Google, Meta, DeepSeek, and Qwen, all deployable in encrypted GPU environments within minutes. Phala’s GPU TEE system supports NVIDIA H100, H200, and B200 chips, delivering approximately 95% of native performance while maintaining 100% data privacy. Through Phala Cloud, developers can write code, package it using Docker, and launch trustless applications backed by automatic encryption and cryptographic attestation. This enables private inference, confidential training, secure fine-tuning, and compliant data processing without handling hardware complexities. Phala’s infrastructure is built for enterprise needs, offering SOC 2 Type II certification, HIPAA-ready environments, GDPR-compliant processing, and a record of zero security breaches. Real-world customer outcomes include cost-reduced financial compliance workflows, privacy-preserving medical research, fully verifiable autonomous agents, and secure AI SaaS deployments. With thousands of active teams and millions in annual recurring usage, Phala has become a critical privacy layer for companies deploying sensitive AI workloads. It provides the secure, transparent, and scalable environment required for building AI systems people can confidently trust.
