Reading HN, I 100% understood “private” to be marketing copy for “local inference”.

How else could the information be kept private?

I begrudgingly suppose that there is precedent for the usage, like Apple’s Private Relay, but I really don’t think they are comparable.

Reading this as “Private Cloud Compute“ (PCC)

(Not iCloud Private Relay, the VPN)

Pretty ironic then that here, Mozilla is specifically labeling their "we send it all to the cloud" service as "private."

I don't read this as offline ...

Private here means "trust me, bro".
