Questions
Before you switch.
- How does Maple protect AI inference?
- Maple describes device encryption into an AWS Nitro enclave, which verifies a separate model enclave before forwarding a prompt. It publishes code and a verification process. Bearly’s end-to-end encryption covers saved chats and sync; prompts still reach its execution service and the model provider. Maple’s architecture source, checked October 29, 2026, appears in the encryption row.
- Which models does Maple Chat list?
- Its model library lists GLM, Kimi, DeepSeek, GPT-OSS, Gemma, and Llama as available in Maple Chat. API-only and reference models are listed separately. This is the catalog checked October 29, 2026; see the Maple model library in the feature rows.
- Is Bearly open source?
- No. Bearly is not open source. It runs on Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, the web, and Chrome.
