Very confused, is this all BS?

"Confer, the private AI chatbot launched by Signal creator Moxie Marlinspike, uses that Nvidia-based TEE setup— along with an authentication system...."

"Meta, too, uses a TEE to offer a more private version of the Meta AI chatbot included in WhatsApp—a privacy system that Confer’s Marlinspike has said he is helping Meta to develop."

This feels too good to be true and I am surprised this article is the first i am hearing about the relationship between Marlinspike and Meta for this product.

It's paywalled for me so I can't verify this, but the quote provided looks like two separate statements. It does not necessarily mean Marlinspike works with Meta.

    It links to a blog entry from his AI project confer.to: https://confer.to/blog/2026/03/encrypted-meta/

    "As Confer continues to operate as an independent entity, I will also work to integrate Confer’s privacy technology so that it underpins Meta AI. Meta is building advanced frontier models, so this will combine the most private AI chat technology in the world with the most capable AI models in the world. As Meta builds more AI products beyond the basic chat paradigm, the privacy technology from Confer will be a part of the foundation of everything that is to come."
