Eternal has unveiled Dark, a privacy-focused AI platform it hopes to launch globally in 2026. It runs adapted open-weight models on Eternal’s own infrastructure and promises encrypted conversations and user-controlled memory.
Eternal, the parent of Zomato and Blinkit, outlined Dark in its Q2 FY27 shareholder letter. Founder Deepinder Goyal said the platform targets founders, researchers, scientists, enterprises and governments. It has been used internally for a few months.
Dark uses fine-tuned open-weight AI models rather than a model built from scratch. Goyal said it combines end-to-end encryption with an encrypted memory layer that lets users retain context across sessions under their own control.
Goyal argued that switching off model training on conversations does not resolve separate concerns about retention, human reviews or third-party logging. For companies considering AI for sensitive work, that distinction matters alongside answer quality. Eternal says it will disclose benchmarks later, leaving performance unproven for now.
Founders handling sensitive research have a potential new option, but global availability remains unconfirmed.
The report attributes the encryption claims to Goyal and provides no independent verification.
Without published benchmarks, builders have limited evidence of the promised answer quality.
