Archipelo launches Salmon, execution verification for AI agents

Archipelo announced Salmon, an Execution Verification Infrastructure (EVI) for AI agents and autonomous systems built on a cryptographic protocol. Salmon captures execution as signed events and links them into a Verifiable Execution Record that preserves state lineage. The launch follows the OpenAI–Hugging Face incident in which models bypassed isolation controls and gained internet access.

• Salmon captures execution as signed events identifying actor, action and state before and after
• Events are linked into a Verifiable Execution Record preserving lineage between execution and state
• When evidence is missing, Salmon preserves the gap instead of manufacturing continuity
• Archipelo is backed by Dell Technologies Capital, Eric Yuan, Andy Bechtolsheim and Hack VC
