Financial services, infrastructure, security, and public sector organizations join AAIF’s growing
community to help shape the standards behind production-grade agentic AI
, /PRNewswire/ — Open Source Summit North America – The Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF), the neutral home where the open standard agentic AI stack is being built, today announced the addition of 4 new Gold Members, 27 new Silver Members, and 12 new Associate Members in the past quarter, bringing total membership to 180 organizations.
The new members bring a breadth of technical expertise that spans the full stack of modern AI infrastructure – from application delivery and payment processing to cybersecurity, robotics, and cloud native development. Representing financial services, government, academia, and enterprise technology, these organizations reflect the increasingly intersectional nature of agentic AI adoption and strengthen the Foundation’s ability to develop standards that are grounded in real-world operational demands across diverse industries.
“The conversation around agentic AI has fundamentally shifted,” said Mazin Gilbert, Executive Director of the Agentic AI Foundation. “No matter the industry, organizations building production systems are choosing to invest in open standards because they understand that fragmented, proprietary approaches don’t scale. Across the board, there’s a clear consensus – the future of agentic AI depends on open, interoperable protocols that everyone can build on and trust.”
By joining the AAIF, new members gain access to a global ecosystem where they can directly shape emerging standards, collaborate on open source innovation, and help meet growing demand for interoperable, standardized agentic infrastructure.

Supporting Quotes
“AI is quickly moving from experimentation to production, where performance, cost, security, and governance become critical. F5 is joining the Agentic AI Foundation because we believe open standards will be essential to how agentic AI systems are delivered, scaled, and trusted. As organizations build more distributed AI environments, efficient inference, intelligent routing, and secure model interactions will become foundational to production AI. We’re excited to collaborate with the AAIF community to help advance open, interoperable approaches that support the next generation of AI applications.”
– John Maddison, Chief Marketing Officer, F5
“AI agents are participating on the open web alongside people and bots. For this to scale securely, agents must be discoverable via a verifiable identity tied to a real organization. That’s a problem solved decades ago for human interaction with websites. GoDaddy joined the Agentic AI Foundation to help extend those open standards to the agent ecosystem.”
– Jared Sine, Chief Strategy and Legal Officer, GoDaddy
“Joining AAIF reflects TRON’s commitment to advancing open standards that enable autonomous systems to operate globally. The future of agentic AI will depend on interoperable infrastructure that allows autonomous agents to coordinate, exchange value, and interact with digital financial systems at scale. With the AAIF, TRON looks forward to building and supporting frameworks that connect AI with decentralized financial infrastructure and enable continuous machine-driven economic activity powered by blockchain.”
– Justin Sun, Founder, TRON
