Google Claude has donated its Agent2AGENT (A2A) protocol to the Linux Foundation, which has now announced a new community-managed project called Agent2Gent Project.
The A2A was originally developed by Google Cloud as a protocol specification, SDK and tooling sets that made communication between AI agents possible.
The protocol allows AI agents from different sellers to find each other, share capabilities and references and cooperate safely on complex functions.
AI agents are AI-operated equipment such as chatbott, coding aids, autonomous agents etc. The AI ecosystem is developing rapidly and grows more agents from various sources, the requirement of interoperability and seamless cross-service automation becomes significant.
This is why Google developed A2A and soon led the agent AI propagation in enterprise by Big Tech players, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, Salesforce, CISCO, SAP and Servicenow.
However, to avoid fragmentation in space, along with creating separate protocols with competitive companies, Google Cloud has decided to hand over A2A to the Linux Foundation, making it more reliable and more widely adopted.
“Under the neutral regime of the Linux Foundation, the formation of the agent 2 agent project will ensure that this important component is seller-unknown and community-intensive,” Google’s announcement reads,
“This step is designed to adopt the A2A protocol and accelerate the development by providing open cooperation, intellectual property management and a strong structure for long -term stewardships.”
The Linux Foundation is a non-profit organization that hosts and supports open-source projects such as Linux, Kuberanets, Node.JS, Pytorch and RISC-V.
The organization provides the infrastructure required for neutral governance, legal, operational and technical assistance, and cooperation, trust and longevity.
A2A is now a formal Linux Foundation Project Your own github And the original imagination of the community, and Google, SDK and Tooling have been transferred to the organization.
The open source summit was officially declared during North America, where the Linux Foundation made its first call to developers, researchers and companies to contribute to A2A.
Right now, there are more than one hundred companies that support the A2A, and the Linux Foundation is expected to coordinate their contribution and testing efforts to the benefit of the protocol, as well as to align implementation as required.
The organization stated that it would focus on the use of the real world, prioritize safety, extensibility and enterprise purposes, ensuring that A2A can scale for real cross-platform AI perfection.
“Under the rule of the Linux Foundation, the A2A sellers will remain-felled, insist on inclusive contribution, and will continue to take care of protocols on expansion, safety and genuine-world purposes,” Linux Foundation announced,
While this development has no immediate effect on consumer AI users, it gives land for the next generation AI products, which potentially intelligent, more comfortable and more practical AI experiences.
