I am confused. I get E2EE chat with a TEE, but the TEEs I know of (admittedly not an expert) are not powerful enough to do the actual inference, at least not any useful one. The blog posts published so far just glance over that.

It seems like the H100 gpu itself has some kind of secure execution environment built in. Not sure of the details but it appears that all data going to and from the gpu will be encrypted.

Yes, the TEE is CPU + H100 GPU.
