What it does

Tinfoil Inference provides model APIs backed by secure hardware enclaves. Its SDKs verify the enclave and encrypt the connection to it, while an OpenAI-compatible interface supports integration with existing applications. Depending on the model, developers can use tool calls, image inputs, document processing and structured outputs.

It is useful for teams seeking hosted inference with client-side verification of the serving environment. Billing is based on the chosen model’s input and output tokens, and rate limits are shared across account or organization keys. Spending limits are soft: requests already in flight can complete and be billed after a limit is reached, so concurrency and output limits matter for budget control.
