Google announced HEIR, an open-source compiler in its Private Computing Toolkit designed to make cryptographically secure private AI inference more practical. The system lets pre-trained models run on encrypted inputs, aiming to preserve user privacy while still enabling cloud-based AI features, and Google says it is working with hardware accelerator partners to improve performance.
