Show HN: Privacy Layer for Frontier Models

A developer posted a Show HN proof-of-concept privacy layer for frontier AI models that filters sensitive information such as tax documents, health data and financial transactions before prompts are submitted. The developer contrasted the tool with Venice AI, which limits identity linked to prompts but not the information inside them, and noted that filtering all sensitive data while preserving response quality is difficult. The developer offered to share the GitHub repository and said the OpenMed Privacy Filter, tested on a Mac, is not compatible with a Linux server.

Kinda crazy how many people submit their sensitive information to frontier models. Tax documents, health data, financial transactions etc.

Built this as a proof of concept. Venice AI is on a similar wavelength where they limit identity connected to prompts, but not information in the prompts.

Sometimes it's tough to actually filter all sensitive information and keep the same quality in responses. I can share the github if anyone is interested.

Note: Was also experimenting with OpenMed Privacy Filter on my mac, but it is not compatible with a linux server.
