Are you in scope?

High-risk AI under Article 6 and Annex III.

Annex III lists eight domains where AI systems are presumed high-risk regardless of risk assessment. If your agent touches one of these, the August 2026 obligations apply. The EU AI Office published clarifying guidance in early 2026 confirming that legal research assistants, credit scoring agents and underwriting copilots fall in scope.

  • Biometric identification and categorisation
  • Critical infrastructure operation (energy, water, transport)
  • Education and vocational training (admissions, scoring)
  • Employment, recruitment, worker management
  • Access to essential services (credit, insurance, public benefits)
  • Law enforcement and predictive policing
  • Migration, asylum and border control
  • Justice administration and democratic processes

What we ship for the four critical articles

Article 12, 14, 15 and 32, covered by hardware, not paperwork.

Most vendors will hand you a 60-page policy PDF. We give you signed attestation quotes per request, UI controls in the agent shell and AES-256 memory encryption fused into the CPU. Audit-ready by construction, not by promise.

Article 12

Automatic event logging

WHAT THE LAW REQUIRES

High-risk systems must automatically record events relevant to identifying risks at the national level and substantial modifications, throughout the lifetime of the system.

WHAT VOLTAGEGPU PROVIDES

Every inference call inside our Intel TDX enclave produces an ECDSA-signed attestation quote bound to the request ID, enclave measurement, model version and timestamp. Tamper-evident by cryptographic construction.

  • Per-request signed quote, verifiable on /trust
  • Bound to model version and enclave measurement
  • Configurable retention (30 / 90 / 365 days)
  • Exportable as JSON-LD for audit submission

Article 14

Human oversight

WHAT THE LAW REQUIRES

High-risk systems must be designed so they can be effectively overseen by natural persons during the period in which the AI system is in use, including the ability to intervene or interrupt the system.

WHAT VOLTAGEGPU PROVIDES

Agent shell exposes pre-execution review, step-by-step approval, hard interrupt and rollback. Approver identity logged into the same attested event stream as the inference call.

  • Pre-execution review of agent plan
  • Per-step approval mode for high-stakes workflows
  • Hard interrupt with state preservation
  • Approver identity bound to attestation log

Article 15

Accuracy, robustness, cybersecurity

WHAT THE LAW REQUIRES

High-risk systems must achieve appropriate levels of accuracy, robustness and cybersecurity throughout their lifecycle, including resilience against attempts to alter use or behaviour through exploitation of vulnerabilities.

WHAT VOLTAGEGPU PROVIDES

Hardware sealing through Intel TDX provides AES-256 memory encryption, the GPU attached inside the trust domain, and attestation evidence on request. The threat model assumes a malicious hypervisor and still keeps the workload sealed.

  • AES-256 memory encryption (CPU-fused keys)
  • GPU attached inside the CPU trust domain
  • Hypervisor and host OS outside the trust boundary
  • Side-channel and supply-chain risks blocked by design

Article 32 GDPR

Confidentiality of processing

WHAT THE LAW REQUIRES

The controller and processor shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including the confidentiality of processing.

WHAT VOLTAGEGPU PROVIDES

Provider-blind processing: VoltageGPU operators are technically incapable of reading user prompts or training data. This is the strictest defensible reading of Article 32(1)(b) confidentiality available in 2026.

  • Encryption keys fused inside the CPU at boot
  • Operators cannot dump RAM or attach a debugger
  • Native RGPD Article 28 DPA, no negotiation
  • EU controller (VOLTAGE EI, France)

VoltageGPU vs OpenAI vs Mistral

Compared head-to-head on each Article.

US frontier labs offer policy-level commitments. EU model providers offer EU hosting on standard VMs. Only Intel TDX-sealed inference gives the deployer hardware-grade evidence aligned with the August 2026 obligations.

Questions buyers ask

EU AI Act FAQ.

When does the EU AI Act start applying to my AI agents?

Prohibited AI practices have been enforceable since 2 February 2025. General-purpose AI obligations applied from 2 August 2025. The full high-risk regime under Article 6 and Annex III becomes enforceable on 2 August 2026, with penalties up to €15M or 3% of global annual turnover for non-compliance with Articles 12, 14 and 15.

Is my AI agent classified as high-risk?

If your agent makes or substantially supports decisions in employment screening, credit scoring, insurance underwriting, critical infrastructure, education, law enforcement, migration, justice administration or biometric identification, it is presumed high-risk under Annex III. The EU AI Office published clarifying guidance in early 2026 confirming that legal research assistants, credit scoring agents and underwriting copilots fall in scope.

How does VoltageGPU help with Article 12 logging?

Every inference call inside our Intel TDX enclaves produces a signed ECDSA attestation quote bound to the request ID, the enclave measurement, the model used and a timestamp. These attestation logs are tamper-evident, cryptographically verifiable, and cover the operational logging requirements of Article 12. Approver identity is captured for Article 14 oversight when configured.

Does Intel TDX satisfy Article 15 cybersecurity?

Article 15(4) names cybersecurity as a design and lifecycle requirement. Hardware-sealed inference inside Intel TDX, with AES-256 memory encryption, GPU attached inside the trust domain and attestation evidence on request, is the strongest defensible evidence available in 2026. The threat model assumes a malicious hypervisor and still keeps the workload sealed, blocking the side-channel and supply-chain risks that 2026 EU AI Office guidance flags.

What if I already use OpenAI or Anthropic?

You can continue, provided you can produce Article 12 logs, Article 14 oversight controls and Article 15 cybersecurity evidence on a per-request basis to a national authority. If you cannot, the deployer, not OpenAI, pays the penalty. Most regulated buyers route high-risk workflows through VoltageGPU and keep general workflows on existing copilots.

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.
