3. Agent factory: Foundry is the complete app platform for building apps and agents. We are adding support for more models from Grok, Hugging Face, Meta, Mistral, and more. Plus: Agentic retrieval in Azure AI Search, Foundry Agent Service, integration with Copilot Studio, and more. And we are ensuring the tools you already use for identity, management, and security will now all extend to agents too. The NFL has already used Foundry, along with our data stack, to run its recent Combine.

New course: A2A: The Agent2Agent Protocol, built with Google Cloud Tech and IBM Research, and taught by Holt Skinner, Ivan Nardini, and Sandi Besen. Connecting agents built with different frameworks usually requires extensive custom integration. This short course teaches you A2A, the open protocol standardizing how agents discover each other and communicate. Since IBM’s ACP (Agent Communication Protocol) joined forces with A2A, A2A has emerged as the industry standard. In this course, you'll build a healthcare multi-agent system where agents built with different frameworks, such as Google ADK (Agent Development Kit) and LangGraph, collaborate through A2A. You'll wrap each agent as an A2A server, build A2A clients to connect to them, and orchestrate them into sequential and hierarchical workflows. Skills you'll gain: - Expose agents from different frameworks as A2A servers to make them discoverable and interoperable - Chain A2A agents sequentially using ADK, where one agent's output feeds into the next - Connect A2A agents to external data sources using MCP (Model Context Protocol) - Deploy A2A agents using Agent Stack, IBM's open-source infrastructure Join and learn the protocol standardizing agent collaboration!
