r/MachineLearning: MeshFlow — Open-Source Multi-Agent Orchestrator With SHA-256 Audit Chain, HIPAA/SOX/GDPR Compliance, and 70–85% Token Cost Reduction

A team that spent a year building governed agent systems for banks, clinical operations teams, and engineering orgs open-sourced MeshFlow, a code-first multi-agent runtime with a built-in SHA-256 audit chain, HIPAA/SOX/GDPR compliance controls, and claimed 70–85% token cost reduction. The project is positioned around the gap the team observed: 79% of enterprises have adopted AI agents but only 11% run them in production, with governance and auditability failures — not model capability — as the bottleneck. Token reduction claims are self-reported and not yet independently verified.
