The pilot puts evaluation inside Confidential Space on Google Cloud's Confidential Computing so Gemini Flash Lite's weights stay private from evaluators while evaluator prompts stay private from Google (DeepMind). Partners are the Singapore AI Safety Institute, OpenMined, AVERI and MLCommons, and the stated target is benchmark contamination. Whether this template survives contact with an evaluator who finds something bad is the open question, but the mechanism is real and the technical report is published.
