"The aim of the AAIF is to provide a neutral organization to encourage open-source agentic AI technologies and secure long-term community support of projects. Besides the three members contributing founding projects, the foundation's Platinum members are Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, Bloomberg, Cloudflare, and Google. Dozens of other tech companies have joined as Gold and Silver members. Silver member Obot.ai has donated their MCP Dev Summit events and podcast to AAIF."
"We are seeing AI enter a new phase, as conversational systems shift to autonomous agents that can work together. Within just one year, MCP, AGENTS.md and goose have become essential tools for developers building this new class of agentic technologies. Bringing these projects together under the AAIF ensures they can grow with the transparency and stability that only open governance provides. The Linux Foundation is proud to serve as the neutral home where they will continue to build AI infrastructure the world will rely on."
"InfoQ covered all three of the AAIF founding projects at their release. MCP was released in late 2024 as "an open standard describing a protocol for integrating external resources and tools with LLM apps." Goose, an "AI agent framework [that] provides users with a flexible, on-machine AI assistant that can be customized through extensions" launched in early 2025, while AGENTS.md, an "open format designed to assist AI coding agents," was released in the second half of 2025."
OpenAI and Anthropic donated AGENTS.md and Model Context Protocol to the Agentic AI Foundation, a directed fund under the Linux Foundation. Block contributed its agent framework, goose, as a founding project. The foundation aims to be a neutral home to encourage open-source agentic AI technologies and secure long-term community support for projects. Platinum members include AWS, Microsoft, Bloomberg, Cloudflare, and Google, with dozens of other companies joining as Gold and Silver members. Silver member Obot.ai donated MCP Dev Summit events and a podcast. MCP, goose, and AGENTS.md provide standards and frameworks for integrating tools, on-machine assistants, and coding-agent formats.
