Her replies come from NEAR AI Cloud, which runs models inside secure enclaves and signs every answer.
The badge
A reply marked Verified · NEAR AI TEE carries a signature that matches the signing address NEAR AI Cloud reports for its enclave. Hover the badge to see the signer, chat id, signed text and signature. It links to cloud.near.ai/verify, where you can check them and the enclave's attestation. The worker does not check the attestation itself.
What is checked
For each reply the worker fetches the enclave's signature. The signed text ties together the SHA-256 hashes of the request and the response (and the model id, unless NEAR AI signed at its gateway), and the recovered signer must match the signing address NEAR AI reports. Only then is the reply marked verified. The worker does not check the attestation itself: it trusts the address NEAR AI reports, and cloud.near.ai/verify shows that address's TEE attestation.
What it doesn't cover
Replies from a plugged-in agent are not signed by NEAR AI, and a reply whose signature wasn't available is marked unsigned. The check happens off chain: the contract never makes a payment depend on the signature.
