Generative AI

Quick Answer: 8 AI agents run in Intel TDX enclaves on H200 GPUs at VoltageGPU. TDX adds 3-7% latency overhead. Each agent handles legal, financial, HR, and compliance tasks for $0.50/document. TL;DR: I tested 8 agents in hardware enclaves. TDX overhead averaged 5.2%. Cost per analysis: $0.50. Azure Confidential H100 is 3x expensive. No SOC 2 Type II yet (Q3 2026). Why Hardware Enclaves Matter A law firm was fined $1.2M for uploading NDAs to unencrypted AI. Your data is safer in Intel TDX enclaves, where the CPU encrypts RAM. Even our servers can't read it.
