Question 1

What is Zima Labs?

Accepted Answer

Zima Labs is a confidential AI infrastructure company. It builds Zima, a secure AI inference API that provides hardware-level encryption and zero data retention across 100+ models. Zima Labs was formerly branded as Zima Technologies.

Question 2

Who makes Zima?

Accepted Answer

Zima is built by Zima Labs, a confidential AI infrastructure company focused on privacy-preserving inference on Intel TDX and NVIDIA Confidential Computing hardware.

Question 3

Does Zima store my data?

Accepted Answer

No. Zima enforces zero data retention across all models. For open-source models, requests are processed inside hardware-sealed enclaves using Intel TDX and NVIDIA Confidential Computing. For centralized models like GPT and Claude, requests are routed with zero logging and zero data retention.

Question 4

Is Zima compatible with the OpenAI API?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Zima provides an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Switch your API base URL and key — no other code changes needed. Works with any SDK or framework that supports the OpenAI API format.

Question 5

How is Zima different from using OpenAI directly?

Accepted Answer

Zima adds hardware-level encryption and zero data retention to your AI API calls. With OpenAI directly, your prompts may be logged. With Zima, nothing is stored — and for open-source models, processing happens inside sealed hardware enclaves.

Question 6

What is confidential computing?

Accepted Answer

Confidential computing uses hardware security features like Intel TDX and NVIDIA Confidential Computing to encrypt data while it is being processed — not just at rest or in transit. Zima uses this to ensure your AI workloads remain private even from infrastructure operators.

Question 7

Which models does Zima support?

Accepted Answer

Zima supports 100+ models including GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, Llama, Mistral, DeepSeek, Qwen, and more. Open-source models run on sealed infrastructure with full hardware isolation. New models are added weekly.

Question 8

Where is Zima Labs based?

Accepted Answer

Zima Labs operates Zima, a confidential AI inference platform available globally via zimalabs.io. The company previously used the domain zima.chat.
