Well, these agentic / AI companies don't even know what an RFC is, let alone how to write one. The last time they attempted to create a "standard" (MCP) it was not only premature, but it was a complete security mess.
Apart from Google Inc., I have not seen a single "AI company" propose an RFC that was reviewed by the IETF and became a proper internet standard. [0]
"MCP" was one of the worst so-called "standards" ever built since the JWT was proposed. So I do not take Anthropic seriously when they create so-called "open standards" especially when the reference implementation is in Javascript or TypeScript.

- lxgr 11mo agoTo be fair, security wasn’t even a consideration until RFCs were well into triple digits. We’re still very early, as they say. > I have not seen a single "AI company" propose an RFC that was reviewed by the IETF and became a proper internet standard. Why would the IETF have anything to do with LLM/agent standards? This seems like a category error. They also don’t ratify web standards, for example.
