43 Organizations Join Agentic AI Foundation as Government Agencies Adopt Open Agent Standards
The Agentic AI Foundation announced 43 new members this quarter, including four Gold Members: F5, GoDaddy, Stripe, and TRON. The additions bring total membership to 190 organizations and signal accelerating adoption of open standards for agent-based AI systems across government, enterprise, and academia.
The cohort includes national laboratories, government agencies, and universities alongside major technology companies. Sandia National Laboratories, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, the U.S. Army, and the NSW Government joined as Associate Members, reflecting how federal and state agencies are betting on interoperable AI infrastructure.
Mazin Gilbert, Executive Director of the Agentic AI Foundation, said organizations building production systems are choosing open standards over proprietary approaches. "No matter the industry, there's a clear consensus - the future of agentic AI depends on open, interoperable protocols that everyone can build on and trust," he said.
Who's Joining
The 27 new Silver Members span application delivery, robotics, cloud infrastructure, and data platforms. Names include Atlassian, Fastly, Teradata, and Render. The 12 new Associate Members include Drexel University, San Jose State University, University of Washington, and Consumer Reports.
F5 focuses on delivering AI applications at scale through traffic management and security controls. GoDaddy emphasized that AI agents operating on the open web need verifiable identity tied to real organizations-a problem already solved for human-website interaction.
TRON, a blockchain network, joined to support autonomous systems operating globally. The foundation's standards will enable agents to coordinate and exchange value across decentralized financial infrastructure, according to founder Justin Sun.
What the Foundation Does
The Agentic AI Foundation governs core standards and protocols for agent interoperability. Its founding projects include MCP, goose, and AGENTS.md. Members gain access to a global ecosystem where they can shape emerging standards and collaborate on open source innovation.
For government organizations, the focus on open standards addresses a core operational requirement: deploying AI systems safely and at scale across agencies without lock-in to proprietary vendors.
