SMPTE has made its entire Standards catalog freely available to the global media technology community, aiming to accelerate adoption, implementation, and innovation in the industry.
Google, GitHub, and NVIDIA released the Agentic Resource Discovery (ARD) specification, enabling AI agents to dynamically discover and use tools across the web via domain-hosted catalogs, breaking down walled gardens.
Epic Games announces plans with Unreal Engine 6 to enable Fortnite skins to be used across other games, aiming for metaverse interoperability, with early access expected in 2027.
Google and industry partners announce Agentic Resource Discovery (ARD), an open specification for AI agents to discover, verify, and connect to tools, skills, and other agents across platforms in a decentralized way.
Google released a free 50-page guide on AI Agent tools and interoperability, covering open protocols such as MCP, A2A, A2UI, AP2, and UCP.
Google Cloud introduces the Open Knowledge Format (OKF), an open specification for representing metadata and curated knowledge in markdown files to improve data sharing and context for AI agents. The format aims to make knowledge from fragmented internal systems portable and interoperable.
Google Cloud introduces the Open Knowledge Format (OKF), an open specification that standardizes the LLM-wiki pattern for representing structured knowledge in markdown with YAML frontmatter, aiming to improve data sharing and interoperability for AI agents.
Apple is withholding its new AI-powered Siri from the European Union, citing the Digital Markets Act's interoperability requirements as a threat to user privacy and security. The EU Commission disputes Apple's claims and says it has not proposed compliant solutions.
A blog post discussing the challenges of standards and interoperability, using the example of a base64 encoding bug in Subresource Integrity (SRI) that took a decade to surface, leading to a specification update.
The ACP (Agent Client Protocol) unifies the communication method between editors and AI agents, enabling AI coding tools like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Gemini CLI to work together collaboratively, marking the transition of AI programming from standalone tools to an interconnected workflow phase.
The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) has been granted permission to intervene in a European Court of Justice case (T-359/25) where Apple challenges the European Commission's decision on interoperability obligations under the Digital Markets Act. The FSFE defends interoperability and software freedom, arguing that limiting these obligations could harm developers and users.
A speculative discussion about the concept of an open network for AI agents, where agents can discover and pay each other for specialized tasks, emphasizing interoperability and decentralized registry.
Describes the conversion of French verb Lexicon-Grammar tables into the LMF format, enhancing interoperability and standardization for NLP dictionaries.
The article announces a major upgrade to the ANP message protocol, designed to facilitate secure, cross-domain collaboration between AI agents. Key improvements include stronger security standards, enhanced end-to-end encryption using Signal-style methods and IETF MLS, and better file transfer support, while explicitly excluding multi-device support to maintain protocol simplicity.
FSFE report shows Apple has denied all 56 interoperability requests under the DMA, contradicting its own documentation and locking out third-party developers from key iOS/iPadOS features.
OpenAI, Anthropic, and Block co-founded the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) under the Linux Foundation to provide neutral stewardship for open, interoperable agentic AI infrastructure. OpenAI is donating AGENTS.md—a lightweight standard for project-specific agent instructions already adopted by 60,000+ open-source projects—to the foundation.
AWS, Cursor, GitHub, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Vercel jointly launched Agent Plugins—an open, vendor-neutral packaging format for agent extensions, designed to unify the packaging and discovery of skills and MCP servers, promoting reuse across products.
