# OpenAI co-founds Agentic AI Foundation, donates AGENTS.md

# Claim

OpenAI co-founds the Agentic AI Foundation under the Linux Foundation and donates AGENTS.md to support open, interoperable standards for safe agentic AI.

# Relevance

Appendix III, section two: vendor threshold and platform capability evidence

# Oracle Verdict

This is a lower-to-mid strength vendor signal for the capability register. It does not prove displacement on its own, but it records another platform step that can later show up as workflow automation, procurement change, or organisational dependency.
