Expanding Private Cloud Compute (security.apple.com) AI

Apple says it is expanding its Private Cloud Compute (PCC) beyond its own data centers by collaborating with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud while preserving PCC’s security and privacy commitments. The company describes using NVIDIA Confidential Computing with GPUs, Intel CPUs with TDX, and Google’s Titan chip, along with layered protections such as attestations, an append-only hardware ledger to address supply-chain risks, and transparency measures for external researchers. PCC on Google Cloud will be rolled out gradually during a summer preview period, with public binaries, research tooling, and access to PCC nodes via the Apple Security Bounty Program.
