Bitcoin exemplifies sovereign money by operating on a decentralized network of nodes, granting users true ownership of their assets without reliance on centralized intermediaries. Similarly, achieving sovereignty in AI requires eliminating centralized points of control. Current AI agents, hosted through API providers or within Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), lack this sovereignty. The TEE manufacturer or host retains ultimate control, with the ability to terminate operations at any time.
OpenVector enables Large Language Model (LLM) computations to occur entirely within an encrypted domain using a novel cryptographic primitive called CoFHE(Collaborative Fully Homomorphic Encryption). This ensures fast and secure computation while decentralizing the decryption key, addressing the twin challenges of data privacy and centralization. By combining cryptographic security with decentralized infrastructure, OpenVector provides a scalable framework for creating sovereign AI systems.
