Edge AI Daily Morning Brief: OpenAI opens decision API, Google releases ACE
OpenAI fully opens the decision API based on GPT-6 Luna, with input at only $0.1 per million tokens and output tokens free, and response speed up to 10 times faster than calling the same model via the Responses API. Google releases ACE, a dedicated compute engine for AI agents, allocating a hardware-isolated microVM to each agent and achieving 500 activations per second under a benchmark of 200,000 agents. Anthropic donates the Agent Skills open standard to the Agentic AI Foundation under the Linux Foundation.

Agentic AI Foundation Adds Four Open Source AI Tools, Bringing Total Projects to 10
The Agentic AI Foundation added four open source projects, donated respectively by OpenAI, Anthropic, Hugging Face, and Alibaba, increasing the total number of projects it maintains from 3 to 10. Open Responses, donated by OpenAI, provides a unified model API implementation template, so that code can be migrated between different APIs without major changes; Agent Skills, donated by Anthropic, provides a standardized format for skills, making it easier for teams to share and reducing the risk of model hallucinations. Hugging Face's OpenEnv and Alibaba's OpenSandbox target the sandbox environments used for model training; the former reduces the effort of switching training systems, while the latter provides a set of APIs for managing sandboxes.

Anthropic Hands Agent Skills Over to the Agentic AI Foundation
Anthropic has transferred ownership of Agent Skills to the Agentic AI Foundation, a neutral organization under the Linux Foundation; MCP underwent the same transfer earlier. In Agent Skills, each skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md instruction file along with scripts or reference files loaded on demand. Anthropic says the standard has been adopted by more than 70 platforms, including ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Cursor and VS Code, with 1 million skills published cumulatively and nearly 280 million installs.

Anthropic Donates Agent Skills Standard to Agentic AI Foundation
Anthropic announced that it is donating the Agent Skills standard to the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) under the Linux Foundation, in order to keep it open, community-driven, and vendor-neutral. The AAIF was co-founded last year by Anthropic along with Block and OpenAI, and the MCP specification had previously been donated to this foundation as well. Simon Willison noted that he had predicted this development last December, and used the MCP plugin on simonwillison.net to retrieve that prediction of his from that time.
