Use Redpill AI GPU TEE models in Clawdbot	You want privacy-focused inference with hardware-verified security You want GPU TEE model setup guidance

Redpill AI

Redpill AI provides access to AI models running in GPU-based Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) with cryptographic attestation. All models run inside secure hardware enclaves, ensuring memory encryption, tamper-proof execution, and verifiable computation.

Why Redpill in Clawdbot

• Hardware-verified privacy via GPU TEE technology with cryptographic attestation
• Zero trust architecture with memory encryption and isolated execution
• 18 verified models across 4 TEE providers (Phala, Tinfoil, Chutes, Near-AI)
• Verifiable computation ensuring your prompts and responses stay private
• OpenAI-compatible /v1 endpoints

Privacy Tiers

Redpill offers two privacy levels:

Tier	Description	Models	Status
GPU TEE	Hardware-verified privacy with cryptographic attestation. Models run in secure enclaves with memory encryption and tamper-proof execution.	18 models across Phala, Tinfoil, Chutes, Near-AI	✅ Available
Extended	Additional models with standard privacy (no TEE hardware guarantee).	TBD	🔜 Coming soon

Features

• GPU TEE security: All models run in hardware-secured enclaves with cryptographic attestation
• Memory encryption: Data stays encrypted in GPU memory during inference
• Tamper-proof execution: Verifiable computation guarantees no unauthorized access
• 4 TEE providers: Phala Network (10 models), Tinfoil (4), Chutes (1), Near-AI (3)
• OpenAI-compatible API: Standard /v1 endpoints for easy integration
• Streaming: ✅ Supported on all models
• Function calling: ✅ Supported on select models
• Vision: ✅ Supported on Qwen3 VL 30B model

Setup

1. Get API Key

1. Sign up at redpill.ai
2. Navigate to API Keys in your dashboard
3. Create a new API key
4. Copy your API key (format: rp_xxxxxxxxxxxx)

2. Configure Clawdbot

Option A: Environment Variable

export REDPILL_API_KEY="rp_xxxxxxxxxxxx"

Option B: Interactive Setup (Recommended)

clawdbot onboard --auth-choice redpill-api-key

This will:

1. Prompt for your API key (or use existing REDPILL_API_KEY)
2. Show all available GPU TEE models
3. Let you pick your default model
4. Configure the provider automatically

Option C: Non-interactive

clawdbot onboard --non-interactive \
  --auth-choice redpill-api-key \
  --token "rp_xxxxxxxxxxxx"

3. Verify Setup

clawdbot agent --message "Hello, are you working?"

Model Selection

After setup, Clawdbot shows all available Redpill models. Pick based on your needs:

• Default (our pick): redpill/deepseek/deepseek-v3.2 for strong reasoning with GPU TEE privacy.
• Best reasoning: redpill/deepseek/deepseek-r1-0528 or redpill/moonshotai/kimi-k2-thinking for complex reasoning tasks.
• Best coding: redpill/qwen/qwen3-coder-480b-a35b-instruct for code generation and analysis.
• Vision tasks: redpill/qwen/qwen3-vl-30b-a3b-instruct for image understanding.
• Fast + capable: redpill/meta-llama/llama-3.3-70b-instruct for balanced performance.

Change your default model anytime using the /model directive in chat:

/model redpill/deepseek/deepseek-r1-0528

Troubleshooting

API key not recognized

echo $REDPILL_API_KEY
clawdbot models list | grep redpill

Ensure the key starts with rp_.

Model not available

Run clawdbot models list | grep redpill to see currently available models. All 18 GPU TEE models should be listed.

Connection issues

Redpill API is at https://api.redpill.ai/v1. Ensure your network allows HTTPS connections.

TEE attestation failed

If you receive attestation errors:

1. Try a different TEE provider model
2. Verify your API key is valid
3. Check the main Redpill website for service announcements
