Private AI Compute is built on specialized tensor processing units (TPUs) with integrated Titanium Intelligence Enclaves (TIE). These hardware-secured environments create an isolated "fortified space" where data can be safely processed without direct access by Google engineers or administrators. Devices connect through secure channels and remote attestation, ensuring data confidentiality.

The initial capabilities of this system are already available on Pixel 10 devices, particularly for enhancing the Magic Cue feature—an assistant that provides contextual suggestions—and the updated Recorder app, which can summarize transcriptions in additional languages. Both features are based on Gemini models that require significant computational resources, which the internal NPU cannot provide.

Private AI Compute is similar to Apple's Private Cloud Compute, which was launched last year. Apple's system supports Apple Intelligence features and uses dedicated servers with Apple Silicon chips to process artificial intelligence tasks in closed and secure environments.
