OpenAI, Anthropic, and Block have teamed up to form the Agentic AI Foundation, or AAIF, to standardize AI agent standards. This is to enable all future AI agents to work together using a standard protocol. The AAIF is now under the Linux Foundation.
As a first step, Anthropic contributed the Model Context Protocol (MCP), Block contributed goose, and OpenAI contributed AGENTS.md to the AAIF. With AI agents increasingly interacting with each other, a standard standard needs to be developed, similar to how Linux is used in the software ecosystem.
Despite being newly formed, the AAIF already has a large list of members. Platinum members include Amazon Web Services, Anthropic, Block, Bloomberg, Cloudflare, Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI.
