CONTENT & TRANSCRIPT

(00:07) Um okay. So a lot of what we did in the envelope space was to to build models and put those models actually into production and make it run very well. Since 2017 we got transformers and then we passed from from basically specific models for more general models with a lot of data. So that itself changed the space and now since the last two years we went to a gent system system that requires infrastructure system that requires basically the tech decisions and need and need interoperability that's why we join as the envelops community the AAF (00:44) so now um the foundation have like three the the principle is to build the the internet of agents under that vision we have three three principle first interoperability Because an agent is made of several protocols and those protocols need to work with each other. Second, we believe in open source and open standards because when you open your code, people can see it, can study it, can find vulnerabilities and then this the way you build trust, right? And and then that itself prevent uh what we call the systemic risk by having one one or two (01:20) companies managing the whole stack. And we are a global community people like developers contributors all around the world people like who take that technology into production and that's the people actually in this room that's why uh basically we are part of the the AIF and this is not new this is that was done with the with the with the internet was created with the test the TCP IP HTTP and uh and now because we needed like a infrastructure that didn't need permission to scale in a in a in a neutral place for governance (01:52) So this is what's basically what is the AF is doing for the agents for the gent world and uh at the foundation we see the techn technological stuff at five layers. So the first one is GPU TC TPU we know that and then we have the the software infrastructure right we have Kubernetes this is where the CNCF focus on we have intelligent which is the model inference and uh serving and this is where we focus the agentic layer that includes protocols harnessing runtime everything related to agents and this is really important because if we get this (02:30) wrong actually everything that we build on top of it will be fragmented and will be frankly really expensive. So where we are so today we are like uh a space for uh 10 protocols and some of them you know NCPs that just to give access to the to the agents quite famous and um re last week we have four new protocols coming from hugging face and anropics Alibaba. (02:59) So how does it work? So the we received those protocols from from from major players for companies and we as AF we provide uh the safe infrastructure to create open standards we for the contributors for the maintainers in a neutral place of governance. So what this is what we do with them however um this is a um basically membersled organization. (03:24) So this is actually the the fastest growing Linux foundation ever having one member per week and why companies join because they see the the important actually solving problems in the agentic space. The aging is going too quickly, right? We're talking about this is going too quickly. (03:39) So companies, for example, we have recently joined Bill Gates Foundation, Versel, Amongo De, they joined the foundation recently. And so those companies work in what we call working groups, right? So this is not about code. This is about finding common problems and and then finding alignment. So companies that for example could be competitors in one space, they sit and work in a in a single in a single problem. (04:04) For example, let's say something simple, agentic commerce in which we have in the one year ago, we have like four major protocols to manage discovery, negotiation and payment authorization just to make the the agents pay safely and that that create a lot of fragmentation, right? So it's complicated. So that's why basically the output of this working fruit is to create specifications to create guidelines so people can actually find standards over it. (04:31) And then to be more concrete actually uh well this is kind of the some some working groups we have uh in the and basically it's are open so you can actually join the conversation happening by weekly and just you're curious about what is being produced by those companies and so for example in the working group identity and trust which is co-managed by SAP so in in the 18th of November they will have one basically webinar in which they will explain two papers about uh identity and trust over over the agents. So if you want to know more (05:10) about it I let you scan the cure code. So yeah like this there are many all the working group have their their calendar so you can just go to the AF and basically start getting to know more about what they do. It's a a lot of it is explorations because this a really recent space. So yeah, so I see some phones. (05:33) Okay, I will continue then. And uh right, so this is the brief presentation of the AF. In case you have any question, please come to us. And the idea is of the AF is just to to explain we have new resources for the community and we can be your entry point. So you have also you can contribute their protocols be a maintainer and if your company also are curious to understand or join the foundation you can always talk to us. (05:59) So we are basically this is the team managing the AF Munich and yeah so these new resources will join are available for you guys and however we do this as a as a free endeavor right so volunteers so we are now planning next year to have nice event and we need like places like this we need nice speakers so if your companies want to receive the AF or basically uh this nice community please talk to us we'll be happy to have a conversation with you guys we can define new formats and if you are working something really cool basically yeah (06:34) talk to us we can give you the room for for to speak about it. So that's it. Thank you very much for building the committee with us. Now.
