AI agents can’t easily talk to each other. To solve this, Cisco has joined forces with Google, Dell, Oracle, and Red Hat to launch AGNTCY, the open-source Internet of Agents. It’s designed so agents from different organizations can discover, trust, and work together - and it’s now donated to the Linux Foundation for neutral governance.

Vijoy Pandey, Senior VP and GM of Outshift by Cisco, explains how AGNTCY tackles interoperability, why secure messaging (via SLIM) matters, and how enterprises are already using multi-agent systems in the real world. We also look ahead to quantum networking - the next frontier Cisco and its partners are preparing for, connecting processors and data centers across vast distances.

👉 Tell us in the comments how you see open-source agents changing your industry.
