Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic join forces to form Agentic AI alliance, according to report — organization backed by the Linux Foundation is set to create open source standards for AI agents

Major tech companies like Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic are forming the Agentic Artificial Intelligence Foundation, backed by the Linux Foundation, to create open source standards for AI agents. The group aims to develop tools and standards for AI agents to address technical challenges and improve effectiveness. Despite the potential of AI agents, they often fall short in practical applications, especially in customer-facing roles. The foundation's first goals include developing tools like the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and an open source AI agent called Goose. Collaboration through this foundation could help major AI companies address profitability challenges and drive innovation in the industry.
