"Linux Foundation’s Agentic AI Foundation, backed by major players, boosts interoperability. Next: a joint cross-foundation standard to stop prompt injection please!"

OpenAI is co-founding the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) under the Linux Foundation, alongside Anthropic and Block, with support from major tech companies. The foundation aims to establish neutral, community-led standards for agent interoperability, facilitating the safe scaling of agentic systems. OpenAI is contributing AGENTS.md, a Markdown convention for providing project-specific instructions to agents, ensuring broader adoption and evolution in an open environment. The AAIF will help prevent fragmentation in agent development and promote collaboration among developers and enterprises.
