Agentic AI Foundation. Announced today as a new foundation under the parent umbrella of the Linux Foundation (see also the OpenJS Foundation, Cloud Native Computing Foundation, OpenSSF and many more).
The AAIF was started by a heavyweight group of "founding platinum members" ($350,000): AWS, Anthropic, Block, Bloomberg, Cloudflare, Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI. The stated goal is to provide "a neutral, open foundation to ensure agentic AI evolves transparently and collaboratively".
Anthropic have donated Model Context Protocol to the new foundation, OpenAI donated AGENTS.md, Block donated goose (their open source, extensible AI agent).
Personally the project I'd like to see most from an initiative like this one is a clear, community-managed specification for the OpenAI Chat Completions JSON API - or a close equivalent. There are dozens of slightly incompatible implementations of that not-quite-specification floating around already, it would be great to have a written spec accompanied by a compliance test suite.
