What it does

Cryptographic chain-of-custody. Court-supportable records. Rekor-anchored proof. Every action your agents take, bound to a workload identity, anchored on a public transparency log, independently verifiable by anyone. AIR isn't a guardrail, a governance dashboard, or a compliance checklist. It's the forensic substrate underneath — producing signed evidence the rest of the stack can consume. Built for EU AI Act Article 72 (Aug 2, 2026). Four shipping layers, pip install ready.

Vindicara is the accountability layer for AI agents. Project AIR produces signed, tamper-evident, independently verifiable records of what an AI agent did and who authorized it, so every automated action traces back to a named human.

Vindicara builds the accountability layer for AI agents. Our product, Project AIR, produces signed, tamper-evident, and independently verifiable records of what an AI agent did and who authorized it, so every automated action traces back to a named human. Project AIR spans detection (surfacing what went wrong), verification (proving the record is real), explanation (showing why an action happened), containment (halting an agent and binding the action to a human approval), and cross-agent trust (preserving the chain of custody when one agent delegates to another). It ships as an open-source SDK and command-line tool on PyPI, alongside hosted and enterprise tiers. Teams adopt Vindicara three…from vindicara.io

    Open-Source Article 12 Logging Infrastructure for the EU AI ActMar 2026 · ▲42

    EU legislation (which affects UK and US companies in many cases) requires being able to truly reconstruct agentic events. I've worked in a number of regulated industries off & on for years, and recently hit this gap. We already had strong observability, but if someone asked me to prove exactly what happened for a specific AI decision X months ago (and demonstrate that the log trail had not been altered), I could not. The EU AI Act has already entered force, and its Article 12 kicks-in in August this year, requiring automatic event recording and six-month retention for high-risk systems,…

    Hi HN, I'm Brian, I spent the last few years at Vanta (YC W18), helping startups and enterprises become compliant and I recently started exploring what that might look like in a post-agentic world. The problem Halo solves is: when a company buys an AI agent from a vendor and gives it access to their data, they have no way to check what the agent did with that data. Vendors may have built observability dashboards and audit logs, but those are editable and partisan. SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audit a company's controls, but controls are less predictive when the software is agentic. TLDR: give an…

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
