OpenAI, Anthropic, and Block have joined forces to create the Agentic AI Foundation, a new open-source organization dedicated to promoting standards for artificial intelligence agents. The foundation aims to establish common ground for developers and companies working on agentic AI, enabling seamless interactions between different systems.

The three companies are transferring ownership of widely used agentic technologies, including Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP), OpenAI's Agents.md, and Block's Goose framework. These tools will become part of the foundation's open-source repository, allowing developers to contribute to their development and build upon them.

According to Nick Cooper, lead developer on MCP at OpenAI, making this standard an open one should encourage companies to adopt it and integrate agentic AI into their systems. This interoperability is crucial for businesses that want to interact with different providers and agentic systems.

The Agentic AI Foundation is being established under the Linux Foundation, which oversees development of the widely used open-source operating system Linux. Other notable companies joining the foundation include Google, Microsoft, AWS, Bloomberg, and Cloudflare.

This new initiative reflects a growing trend towards greater use of programs that take actions on behalf of users – agentic AI. The foundation's goal is to remove barriers to deployment across the economy by promoting openness in these systems. While OpenAI, Anthropic, and Block may benefit from this approach, they also believe it will ultimately enhance their businesses.

Manik Surtani, head of open source at Block, notes that his company's Goose agent has gained significant popularity over the past year due to its ease of use and versatility. By donating Goose to the foundation, Block aims to facilitate contributions to its codebase and foster a community-driven development process.

Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation, praises the new foundation for ensuring the growth and stability of these essential tools through open governance. The Linux Foundation will serve as the neutral home where these projects can continue to evolve.

Open standards have shaped the evolution of the web, and similar efforts may influence how AI is used globally in the future. As agentic tools become widely adopted, the foundation's efforts could confer significant influence on the US companies behind them.
 
🤖 this is so cool! I'm loving the idea of open standards for AI agents. it's about time we get some consistency in how these systems are developed and integrated. the fact that big names like Google, Microsoft, and Cloudflare are getting involved is a huge plus too. 🚀 think about it, if companies can just talk to each other without all this proprietary nonsense, innovation will go through the roof! 💡 also, I'm glad Block is donating Goose to the foundation - that thing has been super helpful for me when I was experimenting with agentic AI in my spare time 🤓
 
So they're like 3 big tech companies teaming up to make some standards for AI that can work together? 🤖 That's a good thing, right? I mean, if different systems can talk to each other, it'll be way easier for businesses to use them. It's like having lots of different phones that all play nice together - you wouldn't have to worry about them not being able to make calls or send texts! 📱💻 And it's cool that companies are willing to share their tech with each other so everyone can benefit. Maybe this will even help us figure out some problems like bias in AI and whatnot? 👍
 
I think its really cool that these big tech companies are coming together to create an open-source foundation for agentic AI. Its like a level playing field for developers and companies, you know? 🤝 No more having to figure out how to make their systems talk to each other. This will be super beneficial for businesses that want to use agentic AI in their operations.

But what really gets me is the idea of making these tools open-source. Like, its not just about code anymore, its about creating a community and having people contribute to it. My kids are always saying how important it is to give back to the community, and I think this foundation is doing just that. 💖

And can you imagine if we had more of these kind of initiatives in the tech world? It would be amazing to see more collaboration and less competition. Its like, what's the point of being the best if everyone else is also good at it? 🤔
 
omg i was just thinking about those pineapple pizzas at 7eleven 🍕🤯 i mean who needs traditional pizza toppings when you can put fruit on it right? and speaking of weird combinations, have you tried peanut butter and pickles on a sandwich? 😂 i'm not saying it's good or bad but its definitely an interesting twist. back to this agentic AI thingy... i feel like we're getting close to creating robots that can make their own pizzas 🍕🤖 maybe they'll even add fruit as a topping 🙄
 
I'm not sure about this new Agentic AI Foundation thingy 🤔... it sounds like a good idea, but I mean, isn't there already some stuff out there for people to use? Like, OpenAI and Anthropic have been working on agentic tech for ages, right? And now they're just handing over their code and letting everyone else contribute to it? That's kinda cool, I guess 😎. The idea of having a common set of standards is definitely helpful, but what about the bigger picture? Are we gonna end up with a bunch of AI systems that are all similar and don't really do anything new? 🤖📊
 
I'm so stoked about this new Agentic AI Foundation 🤩! It's like, totally a step forward for us in terms of AI development and adoption. I mean, open-source is key, right? 👍 They're talking about creating common ground for developers and companies to work together on agentic AI, which will make it way easier for them to integrate these systems into their products.
