Overview
- Apple announced at WWDC26 that Private Cloud Compute will run on Google Cloud using NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs equipped with Confidential Computing to handle server-side model inference.
- NVIDIA says its Confidential Computing uses trusted execution environments, encrypted paths, and remote attestation to prevent access to data while it is processed on GPUs.
- The deployment layers multiple vendors for hardware isolation, with reports naming Intel TDX for CPU isolation and Google’s Titan chip working alongside NVIDIA’s GPUs.
- Apple retains control over PCC software by cryptographically approving binaries and publishing code and research access so external parties can verify security claims.
- The service is entering a staged rollout with full capacity expected by the end of summer 2026 and could raise the bar for cloud trust by making high-performance AI workloads possible without full operator access to user data.
