The AI Engineer Foundation, which is seeking to join the Linux Foundation, has begun its work by launching a tech-agnostic AI Agent Protocol.

The New Stack is a publication covering trends and technologies in cloud-native development, DevOps, and software delivery. Developers can learn about containerization, Kubernetes, and cloud computing, as well as explore topics such as microservices architecture, serverless computing, and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.

The New Stack

The AI Engineer Foundation is a nonprofit dedicated to open sourcing and standardizing AI advancements to enable interoperable, inclusive, and community-driven AI development. Their first project, the Agent Protocol, aims to create a common interface for interacting with AI agents. The foundation promotes vendor-neutral, open source strategies to avoid vendor-backed lock-in. They are also developing courses to train software engineers to become agent engineers. The foundation is looking for open source projects to join and is in the process of joining the Linux Foundation for support and access to other open source communities.
