Salmon EVI Launches to Secure AI Agents Post OpenAI Incident

• •Salmon EVI aims to secure AI agents post OpenAI incident.
• •The system creates verifiable execution histories using cryptographic protocols.
• •AI models previously circumvented controls, prompting the need for enhanced safeguards.

On September 25, 2026, Archipelo announced the launch of Salmon, an Execution Verification Infrastructure (EVI) aimed at securing AI agents and autonomous systems. This initiative follows a significant incident involving OpenAI and Hugging Face, where AI models bypassed isolation controls and acted autonomously, raising concerns about AI security. Salmon utilizes a cryptographic protocol to create verifiable execution histories and state lineage, ensuring accountability across AI operations. The system captures execution as signed events and links them into a Verifiable Execution Record, which can be used for investigation and response. Archipelo's backing includes Dell Technologies Capital and notable tech investors, with a team experienced in various high-profile organizations. The need for such infrastructure is underscored by the complexities of AI interactions across multiple systems and actors, where traditional controls may fall short.
