The Linux Foundation welcomed the AGNTCY project, an open-source infrastructure that enables discovery, identity, messaging, and observability among AI agents from different vendors and frameworks. Cisco, Dell Technologies, Google Cloud, Oracle, and Red Hat have joined as formative members of the AGNTCY project under Linux Foundation governance.

Initially open sourced by Cisco in March 2025, with collaboration from LangChain and Galileo, AGNTCY has grown to include more than 75 supporting companies and provides the foundational infrastructure for the “Internet of Agents,” a new collaboration layer that lets multi-agent systems work together regardless of who built them or where they run.

What is AGNTCY?

The AGNTCY project’s open, common infrastructure provides developers and organizations with secure agent identity, reliable messaging and end-to-end observability to enhance transparency, performance, efficiency and trust.

Additionally, the AGNTCY project is interoperable with leading AI agent technologies, including the Agent2Agent (A2A) project, which was recently contributed to the Linux Foundation, and Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP). The AGNTCY project enables dynamic multi-agent environments by making A2A agents and MCP servers discoverable through AGNTCY directories, increasing transparency through AGNTCY observable software development kits (SDKs), and supporting message transport over the Secure Low Latency Interactive Messaging (SLIM) protocol.

Real-time analytics news in brief

MLCommons announced the release of MLPerf Client v1.0, a benchmark for measuring the performance of large language models (LLMs) on PCs and other client-class systems. MLPerf Client v1.0 introduces an expanded set of supported models, including Llama 2 7B Chat, Llama 3.1 8B Instruct, and Phi 3.5 Mini Instruct. It also adds Phi 4 Reasoning 14B as an experimental option to preview the next generation of high-reasoning-capable LLMs. These additions allow the benchmark to reflect real-world use cases across a broader range of model sizes and capabilities.

(AWS) announced it is expanding its serverless database portfolio with the general availability of Amazon DocumentDB Serverless (with MongoDB compatibility), a fully managed, cost-effective document database service. Serverless databases, like Amazon DocumentDB Serverless, are particularly useful for agents. This is because agent workflows are hard to predict and can rapidly increase in activity at a moment’s notice, only to decrease just as fast.

Azul announced its new Managed Services Provider Program for Azul Intelligence Cloud, a program that allows Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to embed Azul Intelligence Cloud’s Java inventory, vulnerability, and code use analytics directly into their Java advisory, license management, security operations, and DevOps services. The program equips partners to support their customers with reporting and analytic insights into their entire Java fleet.

Cognizant announced the launch of AI Training Data Services, a new offering designed to help enterprises build, fine-tune, and implement AI models at speed and scale. The new offering fuses data engineering and AI training expertise with deep functional and industry-domain knowledge to turn multi-modal data into high-quality inputs for machine-learning and generative AI models.

DataRobot unveiled the Agent Workforce Platform, a solution for building, operating, and governing a fully functional agent workforce. Co-engineered with NVIDIA, this platform lets organizations manage agents like digital employees, from deployment and integration to real-time oversight, retraining, and decommissioning. Organizations can rapidly run, orchestrate, and automatically scale AI agent workloads anywhere, whether in cross-cloud, on-premises, or hybrid environments.

Elastic announced a major update to the Elasticsearch Query Language (ES|QL) in Elasticsearch 8.19 and 9.1. ES|QL now supports enterprise-grade use cases with the general availability of LOOKUP JOIN and Cross-Cluster Search (CCS), a new default setting for partial results, enhanced query observability, alongside more than 30 additional internal improvements that further reduce latency and resource usage across large-scale environments.

HelixML announced Helix 2.0, a next-generation private AI platform designed to let enterprises and developers deploy production-ready AI agents on their own infrastructure quickly. Helix 2.0 eliminates the complexity, high costs, and security risks of traditional AI deployments, providing everything needed to build, deploy, and manage powerful AI solutions with complete data sovereignty and predictable economics.

Hyland announced the launch of Agent Builder, a tool designed to help organizations build and deploy enterprise-grade AI agents that enhance operational efficiency and improve decision making. Agent Builder automates the time-consuming work of reading, understanding, and acting on large volumes of information, freeing teams to focus on higher-value activities.

Informatica announced advanced features to its Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) platform. The new AI-powered data management capabilities are designed to simplify and enhance enterprise-wide access to AI-ready data. The release introduces new features across data integration, governance, quality, master data management, and iPaaS.

Legit Security launched new AI-powered capabilities centered on improving developer productivity by streamlining remediation and augmenting application security posture management (ASPM) to better secure AI-generated code. Legit’s new AI capabilities deliver context for faster, smarter prioritization and remediation of vulnerabilities, all through a single natural-language view.

Pangea announced the launch of Pangea AI Detection and Response (AIDR), a security platform to monitor, detect, and secure GenAI across the enterprise. The solution helps organizations defend themselves against emerging AI risks like shadow AI and sensitive data leakage to LLMs. The platform is available today for early access and will become generally available in September.

Parallel Works announced the launch of its ACTIVATE AI Partner Ecosystem. The ecosystem offers access to cutting-edge GPU capacity via neoclouds and aggregators, providing secure access to Kubernetes environments with GPU pooling, as well as vendor-neutral, distributed object storage. Channel partners can also integrate ACTIVATE AI control plane for hybrid cloud bursting with distributed storage.

Scality announced the release of two open-source Kubernetes drivers. They include a Container Object Storage Interface (COSI) driver, compatible with any S3-compatible object storage solution; and a Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver that allows Kubernetes to provision file storage directly from RING S3 buckets. The two drivers automatically handle the backend provisioning of S3 buckets, IAM credentials, and access configuration, all without user intervention.

Silverfort introduced the Silverfort MCP Server. The solution offers a direct and secure conduit for AI agents to interact with Silverfort’s core capabilities. The Silverfort MCP Server is built on Streamable HTTP, the latest and most robust MCP transport protocol. This allows for remote, concurrent, and stateless communication between AI agents and the Silverfort cloud. It is also optimized for reliability and scalability. 

Snowflake announced the public preview of Snowpark Connect for Spark. With Snowpark Connect, customers can take advantage of the Snowflake vectorized engine for their Spark code while avoiding the complexity of maintaining or tuning separate Spark environments, including managing dependencies, version compatibility, and upgrades.
