The Open Anonymity Project – frontier AI models with privacy
The Open Anonymity Project is an open-source initiative that provides access to frontier AI models while prioritizing user privacy through unlinkable inference. It utilizes zero-knowledge protocols and Trusted Execution Environments to ensure that neither the service provider nor the model providers can link queries to user identities. The platform offers advanced features such as confidential query rewriting and user-owned memory to further protect personal data during AI interactions.
- ▪The Open Anonymity Project develops an open-source protocol for unlinkable inference that separates user queries from their identities.
- ▪It collaborates with zkAPI to enable anonymous Ethereum payments for AI inference services.
- ▪The system uses Trusted Execution Environments to allow users to verify that their queries are not logged by the service.
- ▪Features include a query rewriter that hides personally identifiable information and user-owned memory that keeps conversation history on the user's device.
- ▪The project partners with the Refraction Network to provide an in-browser network proxy to protect network-level metadata.
