Hive Inference Provenance creates a signed receipt for every AI action: model identity, provider, token counts, latency, and a post-quantum ML-DSA-65 signature. It doesn't depend on any blockchain. There's no shared secret. Any regulator can check it, anytime.
EU AI Act Article 13 and Annex IV set specific logging rules. Here's how Hive covers each one.
Every inference call records the model identifier, provider, and version, tied clearly to the action that happened.
model_id · provider · versionToken counts, prompt hash, and completion hash sit inside every receipt, so you can reconstruct what happened without storing the raw content.
token_counts · prompt_hash · completion_hashAn ML-DSA-65 post-quantum signature covers the whole receipt. Change even one bit and the signature breaks instantly.
ML-DSA-65 · self-authenticatingReceipts are self-contained JSON documents. You don't need a database query, blockchain access, or any Hive infrastructure to check one.
self-contained JSON · offline-verifiableNIST-selected ML-DSA-65 (CRYSTALS-Dilithium) is quantum-safe. Records signed today will still check out after the shift to post-quantum cryptography.
NIST FIPS 204 · quantum-safeThe open /verify endpoint accepts any receipt ID. No login, no fee, no Hive account. Any auditor or regulator can check it on their own.

No changes to your agent logic. No new infrastructure to operate.
Hive catches the call and records model identity, provider, token counts, and latency, all before the response reaches your agent.
model_id · provider · tokens · latency_msThe full record gets signed with a NIST FIPS 204 post-quantum key. The receipt is now self-contained and tamper-evident. It needs nothing else to check out.
ML-DSA-65 · FIPS 204 · self-containedAny regulator or auditor pastes a receipt ID into /verify. They get instant cryptographic proof. No Hive account, no fee, no infrastructure to depend on.
Hive PQ Receipts and Inference Provenance address obligations across multiple regulatory and standards frameworks.
Every agent call produces a signed, portable audit record ready for a regulator. ML-DSA-65 post-quantum signatures. Checkable offline. No blockchain needed to verify it. You're EU AI Act Article 13 compliant from your first inference call.
Patent Pending · Signed receipts satisfy Art. 12 para 1 to 3 and Art. 13 transparency requirements
