OpenAI, Anthropic, and Block have jointly founded the Agentic AI Foundation, an open-source organization aimed at promoting standards for AI agents. The foundation will oversee the development and implementation of open standards, encouraging interoperability among AI systems across different companies. Technologies such as Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), OpenAI’s Agents.md, and Block’s Goose framework are being transferred to the foundation. The initiative is supported by major tech firms including Google, Microsoft, AWS, Bloomberg, and Cloudflare. This marks a shift towards agentic AI where AI agents interact and negotiate autonomously, potentially transforming consumer and business applications. Open standards are expected to facilitate seamless communication between AI agents, driving innovation and adoption in real-world applications.
