Tengr.ai: A privacy-by-design generative AI platform
Generative AI (GenAI) is rapidly reshaping industries from media to medicine, although with concerns around privacy, transparency, data integrity and ethics on the rise. A recent report from Deloitte indicated heightened skepticism with over 78% of users finding it challenging to control the data collected about them. AI image generators like Midjourney, DALL-E or Stable Diffusion raise serious privacy concerns, from using personal photos without consent in training data to unintentionally recreating real faces. They've also been used to create fake identities in online scams. As the technology evolves, experts warn that safeguards, especially for vulnerable groups like children; are lagging behind. Hungary based company aims to tackle that, with its privacy-by-design creativeGenAI platform, which is used by over 500,000 users worldwide. What is is the ethical image generation infrastructure that lets users create without censorship issues or data harvesting designed for creators, businesses, educators and more with a strong emphasis on user privacy and creative freedom. The company employs its proprietary Hyperalign™ technology to balance uncensored creative expression with safety. This allows the generation of diverse content while preventing misuse, such as deepfakes or harmful imagery. "Users retain full ownership of the images they create, enabling them to use their creations for commercial purposes without restrictions," says Péter W. Szabó, CEO and co-founder of How Works Unlike competitors that harvest personal data or impose restrictive licenses, is designed with privacy at its core. It does not collect or store any personal information, and users maintain full commercial rights to all images they create. Its Hyperalign™ technology quietly converts risky prompts into safe, compliant results, avoiding the constant battle of traditional filters while maintaining seamless creative freedom. also recently announced its Quantum 3.0; an upgraded image generation engine which sets a benchmark for prompt fidelity, rendering speed, photorealism, all while retaining the existing infrastructure. "Quantum 3.0 Engine uses advanced diffusion-transformer technology to accurately interpret complex prompts, reducing image revisions by 38% and enhancing fine details like hair and typography," says Peter. The Detailer Upscaler 3.0 claims to boost images up to 8x resolution with lifelike textures, offering "Details Only" and combined upscale modes for crisp prints. Its One-ClickBackground Swap, powered by ScenaNova, claims to isolate subjects and create custom backdrops. Why privacy and personal data is important "AI image generators are raising serious privacy concerns," says Peter. From models unintentionally recreating real people's faces to fake profiles used in scams, these tools can misuse personal data in harmful ways. Lawsuits like Getty Images vs. Stability AI highlights the unauthorised use of private photos in training data. Protecting personal data isn't just about compliance, it's about respecting individual rights and preventing real-world harm and to be ethical in an increasingly digital world. introduction into Web3 Brands like Jack Wolfskin and Tesa SE are already using for product visualisation, while the company's architectural partner Zindak AI uses the platform to turn sketches and CAD renders to photorealistic imagery. is also introducing its native $TENGR utility token into its platform to enhance user engagement and expand its ecosystem. Earlier this year, completed an equity funding round aimed at developing and launching its $TENGR utility token, integrating blockchain tech into its platform. Through Web3 initiatives and a utility token, the platform aims to empower and monetise its community in a more collaborative way, ensuring that no personal data is collected or stored, and users retain full commercial rights to every image they generate with ethical solution.

Inside a Glamorous, Art-Filled Wedding at the Iconic Rainbow Room
When planning their New York City wedding, Peter Kelly and Garth Greenan were excited by the opportunity, as a gay couple, to subvert some of the traditional wedding customs that didn't quite resonate with them. 'It was really about doing something that was unique to us as a couple, but also unique to our expectations of [what] a wedding [can be],' Garth says. 'Which, until fairly recently, wasn't even an option for us.' Even a quick Google search showed Peter just how much mainstream wedding planning focused on the bride. 'There are all these conventions set up and we don't really fit that exactly,' he says. 'We started to think about things like, What colors do we have to use? We don't necessarily have to use the black, white, pink, or whatever is more conventional, so why don't we do a mid-century palette? Why don't we do a lot of oranges and browns?' Chellise Michael Photography The wedding took place at the iconic Rainbow Room, a fitting choice for two grooms deeply rooted in the art world—Garth as the founder of Garth Greenan Gallery, and Peter as the founder of Kelly Art Advisory. Visuals played a central role in the celebration. 'I love seasonal realities, and that was a big part of why we chose the Rainbow Room. You look across the park, you see all the orange trees and everything, and it's like seasons are changing, time is moving,' Peter explains. Read on for details about the grooms' custom Bode tuxedoes, how they incorporated art into their ceremony, and why some might even call it a shotgun wedding. The Planning Chellise Michael Photography 'We're fairly traditional,' Garth says. 'The idea started that we were going to do something small. Then it became like, no, we really want to celebrate this and do something proper and big. I don't know that either of us [loves] the kind of attention a wedding brings, but it became this big thing.' The couple teamed up with wedding planner Jove Meyer and quickly landed on the Rainbow Room, a venue Garth had recently visited for an event. 'When we were touring basically every venue possible in the city in a day, it just called out to us as this is where you're supposed to get married,' he recalls. True to their personalities, Peter and Garth made decisions swiftly and confidently. 'The overarching theme for us as a couple and our wedding was that we're very, very, very into planning, and we're very decisive, so it all came together as fast as it possibly could. We never had 12 venues on hold or five chairs that we were looking at,' Garth says. The rehearsal dinner was held at Mel's, a Chelsea pizzeria that has since closed. 'You could see the fire inside [the pizza oven], so it was kind of glowing. We had chosen sort of fall-ish, '70s colors. It wasn't deliberately autumnal, it was just evocative of the era that we were most interested in,' Garth says. 'It was a beautiful evening,' Peter adds. 'We got married right after Halloween, and they still had the Halloween decorations up, which I felt like Garth would be annoyed at, but I thought was so cute.' The Looks Chellise Michael Photography Both grooms wore custom tuxedoes by Bode. 'Garth and I have both been pretty big fans of the brand for a while. We're both really into art, and especially American art. Bode is interested in providing all of these handmade crocheted fabrics, these American textile traditions,' Peter explains. The tuxedoes leaned classic but featured intricate embroidery and beadwork. 'We had this opportunity to be traditional, but to twist it a little bit and put our own spin on it and make it our own. Whatever a wedding means to us, that can be reflected in our tuxedos and our outfits.' The Ceremony Chellise Michael Photography The ceremony was officiated by Neal Ambrose-Smith, an artist the couple collaborates with. They took part in a meaningful ritual, being wrapped in a blanket created by the artist Howardena Pindell. Peter's brother read a Walt Whitman poem chosen by Garth, while Garth's brother shared an excerpt from the Book of Ruth selected by Peter. Chellise Michael Photography Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, an artist Peter has worked with (and Neal Ambrose-Smith's mother), created a beautiful register that was signed by the wedding guests. 'Jaune kept saying that the only reason you're married is because a group of people that care about you and matter to you recognize that you're married,' Garth shares. 'Having all of those people bear witness to that is super important.' The Cocktail Hour Chellise Michael Photography 'The most memorable moment was when Peter and I were alone right after we had actually gotten married—we were together in the wedding suite,' Garth says. 'It was the first moment that we had together where we were actually husbands alone. I couldn't really remember what happened, but I knew something really great had happened.' The Reception Chellise Michael Photography Garth and Peter did their first dance to Dusty Springfield's 'The Look of Love.' The music selection was thoughtfully curated, evolving through the decades as the night progressed. 'The DJ started off with disco, and then it progressed into the '80s and '90s and the 2000s and 2010s. The night went on and just kind of got a little more dancey and fun,' Garth says. The Morning After On Sunday morning, Garth's best man hosted a brunch catered by Electric Burrito in Chelsea, held at the West Village townhouse the couple had just purchased. 'It was nice to kind of say, 'Okay, now that everybody's leaving and we just had this wedding, this is where we're going to be setting up our life together,'' Peter reflects. The new home and the wedding marked monumental life moments happening back-to-back. And soon after, a baby arrived. 'You could say it was a shotgun wedding,' he laughs.
