"The AAIF's mission is to standardize and accelerate the emerging ecosystem of AI agents. Backed by OpenAI, Anthropic, Block, and a who's who of major cloud and software vendors, the group aims to make "agentic AI" infrastructure open, interoperable, and governed by familiar open-source norms. Announced under the Linux Foundation's umbrella, the AAIF will be a neutral home for open-source projects focused on AI agents."
"To make this happen, the AAIF is built on three cornerstone technologies: Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP), Block's Goose Coding Agent, and OpenAI's AGENTS.md specification for describing and orchestrating agents. All these projects have now been donated to the foundation. Together, they're meant to make a new shared software stack. In this stack, MCP will act as a universal protocol for connecting models to tools and data. AGENTS.md serves as an open format for defining agent capabilities, and Goose is a real-world agent implementation."
The Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) launches under the Linux Foundation to standardize and accelerate the emerging ecosystem of AI agents. The foundation is backed by major vendors including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Block and aims to keep agent infrastructure open, interoperable, and governed by open-source norms. Agents are defined as systems that plan, act, and coordinate tools or other agents between LLMs and information services. AAIF received donations of three cornerstone projects—MCP, Goose, and AGENTS.md—to form a shared software stack with transparent governance, cross-vendor standards, and community-driven development.
