AI-Native Communication Protocol AIP Receives IETF Standard Draft Recognition
The IETF has formally accepted the AI-Native Protocol (AIP) as an RFC standard draft, designed specifically for AI agent-to-agent communication with semantic compression and intent transmission, reducing latency by 70% compared to HTTP/3.
AI-Native Communication Protocol AIP Receives IETF Standard Draft Recognition
On February 15, 2028, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) formally accepted the AI-Native Protocol (AIP) as an RFC standard draft. Jointly proposed by OpenAI, Anthropic, and DeepMind, AIP is purpose-built for AI agent-to-agent communication.
Unlike HTTP/3's text-based request-response model, AIP uses semantic compression, allowing AI agents to exchange structured intents and reasoning chains directly without serializing intermediate results into human-readable text. In agent-to-agent (A2A) scenarios, AIP reduces latency by approximately 70% versus HTTP/3 with 5x bandwidth efficiency gains.
"AIP may be the most significant internet protocol evolution since HTTP," wrote Cloudflare CTO John Graham-Cumming in a blog post. "When the majority of internet traffic shifts from humans to AI agents, the underlying protocols must evolve accordingly."
IETF expects the AIP standard to complete final review by end of 2029.
