Eternal Unveils Privacy-Focused AI Platform Dark
Eternal has unveiled Dark, a privacy-focused AI platform from the parent company of Zomato and Blinkit.
Founder Deepinder Goyal says it is aimed at founders, researchers, scientists, businesses and governments handling sensitive work.
Dark uses adapted open-weight AI models running on Eternal’s own infrastructure.
It promises encrypted conversations and user-controlled encrypted memory, so users can carry context across sessions.
Goyal says these protections are intended to address concerns about data retention, legal access and human review of conversations with AI assistants.
Dark has been in internal use for several months, according to Goyal.
He hopes to launch the platform globally within 2026.
Eternal has unveiled Dark, a privacy-focused AI platform that founder Deepinder Goyal hopes to launch globally within 2026.
The platform is aimed at founders, researchers, scientists, enterprises and governments handling sensitive or commercially valuable work.
Dark has been in internal use for a few months and runs fine-tuned open-weight models on Eternal’s infrastructure.
Goyal says it uses end-to-end encryption and a user-controlled encrypted memory layer to retain context across sessions.
He argues that turning off the use of conversations for model training does not resolve concerns about data retention, legal holds, human reviews or third-party logging.
