Google Launches Private AI Compute, Debuts on Pixel 10 Features

The sealed TPU‑plus‑enclave design promises on‑device‑level privacy for cloud processing.

Overview

  • Google introduced Private AI Compute to let Gemini cloud models handle sensitive tasks with data remaining accessible only to the user, not even Google.
  • The platform operates in a hardware‑secured, sealed environment built on custom TPUs and Titanium Intelligence Enclaves with encryption and remote attestation.
  • Initial deployment arrives with the November Pixel Feature Drop as Magic Cue on Pixel 10 delivers more timely suggestions and Recorder generates summaries in more languages.
  • Pixel owners can check when Private AI Compute is used by viewing the Android System Intelligence Network Usage log in Developer options.
  • Coverage compares Google’s approach to Apple’s 2024 Private Cloud Compute and notes trade‑offs that include cloud latency and reduced offline reliability.
