- Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute (PCC) to Google Cloud with NVIDIA GPUs, extending privacy commitments beyond Apple's data centers.
- Apple collaborated with Google and NVIDIA to handle demanding tasks like agentic tool-use and complex reasoning through cloud AI workloads.
- PCC maintains core requirements like stateless computation, enforceable guarantees, no privileged runtime access, non-targetability, and verifiable transparency, implemented with NVIDIA, Intel, and Google's Titan chip technologies.
- PCC on Google Cloud uses layered security protections, including a cryptographically verifiable hardware ledger and independent roots of trust to mitigate supply chain attacks.
- Apple retains full control over PCC software, ensuring devices only trust Apple-approved code, with all binaries published for public inspection and access for security researchers.
