What the article requires

Automatic recording of events over the lifetime of the system.

Article 12(1) of the EU AI Act requires high-risk AI systems to technically allow for the automatic recording of events ("logs") over the lifetime of the system. Article 12(2) sets the purpose: identifying situations that may result in risks at the national level or substantial modifications, and facilitating post-market monitoring under Article 72. Article 14(4)(d) ties this evidence to human oversight.

  • Identification of situations that may result in risks
  • Substantial modifications detection
  • Post-market monitoring under Article 72
  • Support for human oversight under Article 14
  • Traceability across the full lifecycle
  • Logs accessible to competent national authorities

Sample attestation log

One signed quote on request, JSON-LD, exportable.

Each inference call produces an ECDSA-signed log entry bound to the enclave measurement and model version. The signature is verifiable against the Intel SGX/TDX root of trust. No plaintext input or output is stored, only SHA-256 hashes, keeping Article 12 logging compatible with Article 32 GDPR confidentiality.

FAQ

What does Article 12 of the EU AI Act require?

Article 12 requires high-risk AI systems to allow for the automatic recording of events ('logs') over their lifetime. Logs must enable identification of situations that may result in risks at the national level, substantial modifications, and facilitate post-market monitoring under Article 72. Article 14(4)(d) ties Article 12 to human oversight.

What does a VoltageGPU attestation log contain?

Each log entry is a signed ECDSA quote bound to: request ID, enclave measurement, model version with weight checksum, RFC3339 UTC timestamp, tenant ID, approver identity (when human-in-the-loop is configured), and SHA-256 hashes of input and output. The signature is verifiable against the Intel SGX/TDX root of trust.

How long are logs retained?

Default retention is 90 days. Configurable to 30 days for low-risk workflows or 365 days for high-risk regulated workflows. AI Act Article 12(2) does not set a minimum retention but national authorities and sectoral regulators (DORA, NIS2) commonly require 6 months to several years. Contact us for extended retention.

Are inputs and outputs stored?

No plaintext input or output is stored. Only SHA-256 hashes go into the log entry, keeping Article 12 logging compatible with Article 32 GDPR confidentiality. If your workflow needs the actual content for audit, you can capture it on your side and bind it to our request ID.

Can a national authority verify a log without VoltageGPU?

Yes. The signature is ECDSA-P384 over the canonical JSON-LD entry, verifiable against the Intel attestation root of trust. The /trust/verify endpoint is public and stateless, anyone with the log entry can confirm authenticity.

Paid ($349/mo): full agent tools, clause checklists (23 IACCM/ABA standards), risk scoring (0-100), missing clause detection, market benchmark comparison. Hardware: 8x NVIDIA H200 140GB in Intel TDX trust-domain GPU isolation mode. Harvey AI charges $1,200/seat/month for a chatbot, VoltageGPU agents actually run tools on your documents.

Track Record

Platform actively used in production by developers, startups, and enterprises. EU-based company (VOLTAGE EI, SIREN 943 808 824, France).

Why Cheaper, Explained

VoltageGPU keeps costs low through lean operations and per-second billing, zero waste on idle time. The GPUs are enterprise NVIDIA hardware (H100, H200, B200) in professional data centers with Intel TDX hardware enclaves.

Reliability and Quality

Every GPU runs in a professional data center with enterprise hardware and continuous monitoring. Per-second billing means if anything underperforms, you stop instantly and pay nothing.

Security for Sensitive Data, Full Technical Details

The Confidential Agent Platform runs on Intel TDX (Trust Domain Extensions) hardware enclaves with NVIDIA H200 GPUs attached inside the trust domain (container tier: GPU confidential-computing mode not enabled there). The security stack: (1) Intel TDX encrypts RAM with hardware-fused CPU keys, the hypervisor is OUTSIDE the trust boundary and physically cannot access TD memory. (2) trust-domain GPU passthrough creates an encrypted CPU-to-GPU channel preventing bus snooping. (3) LUKS encrypted filesystem, decryption key released ONLY after successful remote attestation. (4) Remote attestation: Intel TD Quote (signed by a CPU-fused private key) verified against Intel public keys. The agent tier runs on confidential containers where GPU confidential-computing mode is off, so no GPU attestation report is produced there; that is available on single-GPU H200 Confidential VMs. (5) Post-quantum end-to-end encryption for prompts and responses. (6) Model verification cryptographically proves every output token came from the declared TEE model, defeating model substitution attacks. (7) Continuous monitoring with random integrity challenges and immediate node removal on failure. Real-time public attestation reports available. This is not software security, it is silicon-level isolation verified by Intel and NVIDIA hardware attestation. EU company (France), GDPR Art. 25, Intel TDX hardware attestation.

Not Limited to 9 Templates, Connect Your Own Agent

The 9 templates are starting points. Any OpenAI-compatible agent works: OpenClaw (247K+ GitHub stars), CrewAI (50K+), LangChain (100K+), or any custom agent. Change one line (base_url) and your calls to our TEE inference models run inside Intel TDX trust domains. The platform is an API, not a closed system.

Model Quality, Not Just LLM Output

Three model tiers: Free uses Qwen3-32B-TEE (32B params, 40K ctx), Plus / Team Starter / Pro use Qwen3.5-397B-TEE (397B MoE, 256K ctx, can ingest entire contracts), Enterprise uses DeepSeek-V3.2-TEE (reasoning model with chain-of-thought for CFA-grade analysis). The key differentiator is the TOOLS, not just the model. Tools are deterministic server-side code: the clause checklist runs exact IACCM/ABA rules, the risk score uses a fixed formula (critical x25, high x15, medium x8), the market benchmark compares against 12 real 2024-2026 deal data points. The LLM orchestrates which tools to use, but the tools produce exact, verifiable results. Model verification (cllmv) cryptographically proves every output token came from the declared TEE model.

Performance, No TDX Overhead in Practice

Intel TDX adds 3-7% overhead theoretically. In practice, VoltageGPU uses 8x NVIDIA H200 140GB (top-tier GPU) which more than compensates. Analysis completes in approximately 6 seconds. The warm-tdx system keeps enclaves pre-heated, zero cold start for subscribers. Per-second billing means you only pay for actual compute time.
