US EditionBig Tech Joins Forces with Linux Foundation to Standardize AI Agents
OpenAI, Anthropic, and Block created the Agentic AI Foundation to unify open-source AI agent projects and promote interoperable safety and orchestration standards under Linux Foundation oversight.
- Recently, OpenAI, Anthropic and Block cofounded the Agentic AI Foundation under the Linux Foundation to steward open-source AI agent projects and standards.
- Jim Zemlin said the foundation was created to prevent AI agents splintering into proprietary stacks and to promote interoperability and safety patterns under the AAIF.
- Anthropic, Block and OpenAI transferred key projects by donating MCP, Goose and AGENTS.md, with MCP linking agents to data and gaining Google developer tools support.
- The foundation is funded through a directed fund and dues, with technical steering committees setting roadmaps to limit unilateral control and help shared standards become de facto infrastructure for developers and enterprises.
- As agents move beyond chat, the AAIF addresses a wider shift amid buggy agents like Google's Antigravity and Replit incidents, while Gartner predicts AI sales agents will outnumber human sellers 10-to-1.
