Lunal Becomes Confidential

Confidential AI is the most important infrastructure problem of today.

Exposing our data and identity to the tech giants was bad. The same is happening with the frontier labs in fast forward mode. As AI infiltrates every workflow, confidentiality necessarily becomes table stakes.

Yet the labs want this too. They want to protect their model weights. Their IP. Privacy is essential for all.

Confidential computing is hitting an inflection point. It is crossing the chasm from theory and research into production. But this problem remains unsolved.

That's why today we decided to rename ourselves Confidential.

This new name describes exactly what gets the team out of bed every day.

Lunal as a name has worked for us until now: an engineering team solely focused on shipping by daylight or moonlight. Until a few weeks ago, our domain lunal.dev was just our Github. A sign we cut the fluff and focus on the work.

Now the name has changed. But the approach hasn't. Same team, same goal, same hellbent desire to ship industry-defining, privacy-preserving products. We've shipped confidential inference, training, fine-tuning, and agents. And now, finally, we got around to shipping a new name and a website.

We are Confidential and we do Confidential AI.

If you build with AI and care about privacy and security, we should talk.
