Google’s Agent2Agent protocol finds new home at the Linux Foundation
- Google donated its Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol to the Linux Foundation at the Open Source Summit North America.
- The A2A protocol offers a standard way for connecting agents to each other and complements Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP).
- A2A protocol empowers developers to build agents capable of connecting with any other agent built using the protocol.
- Initially, there were over 50 partners contributing to the project, including Atlassian, Cohere, Datadog, Deloitte, Elastic, Oracle, and Salesforce.
- Now, there are over 100 technology partners involved in the A2A protocol project.
- Joining the Linux Foundation will provide the project with vendor neutrality, inclusive contributions, and focus on extensibility, security, and real-world usability.
- The Agent2Agent protocol aims to establish an open standard for communication, enabling interoperable AI agents across platforms and systems.
- Rao Surapaneni, VP and GM of Business Applications Platform at Google Cloud, highlights the collaboration with the Linux Foundation for innovative AI capabilities under an open-governance framework.
