Private AI,
in bloom on idle Macs
Ponsbloom connects over 100 million Apple Silicon machines sitting idle directly to AI demand. Prompts are encrypted end-to-end, every answer is signed by hardware you can verify. OpenAI-compatible. ~50% cheaper than centralized APIs — operators keep 95% of revenue.
Three layers of markup, removed
AI compute today flows through GPU makers → hyperscalers → API providers, each taking a cut. Meanwhile 100M+ consumer Macs idle ~18 hours a day. Ponsbloom collapses the supply chain to a single hop — encrypted demand in, signed answers out.
Trust, without access
Operators run your inference — they cannot see your data. Every path from prompt to answer that an operator could observe has been eliminated.
Encrypted end-to-end
Requests are encrypted on your device. The coordinator routes ciphertext — only the target node's hardware-bound key can decrypt it.
Hardware-verified
Every node holds a key generated inside Apple's tamper-resistant Secure Enclave. Attestation traces back to Apple's root certificate authority.
Hardened runtime
Inference is locked at the OS level: debugger attachment blocked, memory inspection blocked, no shell access. Nothing to extract from a live process.
Traceable to hardware
Every response is signed by the exact machine that produced it. The full attestation chain is published for independent verification.
OpenAI-compatible API
Point your existing OpenAI SDK at Ponsbloom and go. Streaming, function calling, speech-to-text — same shape, lower cost, hardware-verified.
from openai import OpenAI client = OpenAI( base_url="https://api.ponsbloom.ai/v1", api_key="<your-api-key>", ) stream = client.chat.completions.create( model="gemma-4-26b", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain zero-knowledge proofs"}], stream=True, ) for chunk in stream: if chunk.choices[0].delta.content: print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content, end="", flush=True)
Per-token. No subscriptions.
Idle hardware has near-zero marginal cost — savings pass straight through to you.
