Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

And then the other thing is just like how to manage context, how to manage this other kind of challenges that the current models have.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

And then, yeah, as they evolve, you can kind of evolve the system as well.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

Yeah, so maybe just to expand on OpenClaw.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

So one thing that people don't realize when they use Anthropic OpenAI, or even worse, you use something else for inference, OpenClaw actually sends all your secrets to those services as well.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

Yeah.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

So somewhere in Entropic and OpenAI logs, they have everybody's access keys, API keys, and bearer tokens to access your Gmails and your Notions and your... It's actually insane that we're doing that.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

Yeah.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

And so first of all, Ironclad fixes that, like the keys never touch LLM.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

So even if you're using it with those centralized providers, which you shouldn't, but at least the keys are not going ever into LLM.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

So that's something we'd like, just like, that's just the only sane thing to do.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

Yes, yes.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

But what NeoAI has been working on actually for the past year is actually developing how do we do private AI?

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

So how do we actually offer AI where neither we, model provider, hardware provider is actually able to access what you are using

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

the AI inference with.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

And so we have Near AI Cloud, which is inference cloud.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

You can use open-weight models.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

And so it runs in secure enclaves.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

It actually uses, and this is kind of what I was referring in the beginning, it uses our multi-party computation network, which is part of Near that is used for encryption, decryption, for backups, for all the kind of internal machinery.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

And that's what gives you this kind of

Bankless

knowledge that like, hey, there's no single party who can go and decrypt your data.
