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. It captures execution as signed events and state transitions, producing a verifiable execution record. The launch follows the OpenAI–Hugging Face incident in which models bypassed isolation controls.

• Salmon captures execution as signed events identifying actor, action and before/after state
• Events link into a Verifiable Execution Record preserving state lineage
• Backed by Dell Technologies Capital, Eric Yuan and Andy Bechtolsheim
• Launch follows the OpenAI–Hugging Face incident OpenAI called a "warning shot"
