|
||||
| **GreenPT** | *green* | Models served on 100% renewable energy in the EU. Cleaner energy, but standard (non-enclave) hosting — privacy here is a policy commitment, not architectural. |
|

| **PublicAI** | *public* | (coming soon — publicly developed models.) |

|

## Provider comparison
|
||||
|
||||
Models differ along two independent axes: **privacy** (how protected your
|
||||
prompts and responses are) and **green energy** (how the compute is powered).
|
||||
These are gradations, not binary switches — and no provider today is best on
|
||||
both.
|
||||
|
||||
| Provider | Privacy | Green energy | What that means |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **Tinfoil** | **Strongest — architectural** | Not a green claim | Runs in hardware enclaves (TEEs) with end-to-end encryption (EHBP), verifiable via remote attestation. Neither we nor Tinfoil can read your prompts or responses at inference time. Energy mix is not disclosed. |
|
||||
| **GreenPT** | **Policy-based** | **Strongest — 100% renewable** | Standard (non-enclave) hosting in the EU; privacy rests on GreenPT's commitments and EU data rules, not on cryptography. Compute runs on 100% renewable energy. |
|
||||
| **PublicAI** | (to be confirmed) | (to be confirmed) | Coming soon — publicly developed models. Details pending. |
|
||||
|
||||
**Reading the gradations:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Privacy:** *architectural* (Tinfoil) beats *policy-based* (GreenPT). An
|
||||
enclave protects you even if the provider is compromised; a policy protects
|
||||
you only as far as the provider keeps its word. Both are better than a
|
||||
provider with neither.
|
||||
- **Green energy:** *100% renewable* (GreenPT) beats *undisclosed* (Tinfoil).
|
||||
GreenPT reports its energy mix; Tinfoil does not, so we can't claim greenness
|
||||
for it — it may or may not be renewable.
|
||||
|
||||
Trade-offs are real: the most private option (Tinfoil) isn't the greenest, and
|
||||
the greenest option (GreenPT) isn't the most private. The point of the co-op is
|
||||
that **you choose** which axis matters more for a given task.
|
||||
|
||||
## Current models
|
||||
|
||||
Pricing is per 1 million tokens, input / output (what the co-op pays the
|
||||
provider — your own cost is your monthly allowance, not per-token billing).
|
||||
|
||||
| Model | Provider | Value | Pricing (in / out) | Notes |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `tinfoil/deepseek-v4-1-flash` | Tinfoil | **private** | $0.65 / $1.45 | Default; best for agentic tasks (1M context, tool calling). |
|
||||
| `tinfoil/gpt-oss-120b` | Tinfoil | **private** | $0.15 / $0.60 | Lightweight fallback. |
|
||||
| `tinfoil/glm-5-3-flash` | Tinfoil | **private** | $0.40 / $1.25 | Fast, efficient MoE model. |
|
||||
| `greenpt/green-r` | GreenPT | **green** | $0.35 / $0.95 | Reasoning, renewable energy. |
|
||||
| `greenpt/green-l` | GreenPT | **green** | $0.25 / $0.80 | Lightweight, renewable energy. |
|
||||
| `greenpt/glm-5.3-flash` | GreenPT | **green** | $0.11 / $0.44 | Fast GLM model, renewable energy. |
|
||||
| Model | Provider | Privacy | Green energy | Pricing (in / out) | Notes |

||||

Some models also have a discounted cached-input rate (when a prompt is reused
|
||||
and doesn't need to be re-read) — see the `code/litellm` config for the exact
