Open-Source Internet of Agents and a Quantum Network | Cisco’s Vijoy Pandey

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.Visit AGNTCY.orgVisit Outshift.com Chapters00:00 Cold open00:34 Welcome and hosts01:45 Why interoperability is the bottleneck03:10 What AGNTCY enables05:55 Trust, identity, and evaluation12:40 SLIM and secure agent messaging16:45 Real-world deployments20:10 From pilots to production21:55 Open source and Linux Foundation25:20 Quantum networking outlook28:50 Final thoughts and CTAGuest:Vijoy Pandey, SVP and GM, Outshift by Cisco#AI #Agents #Cisco #AGNTCY #Interoperability #OpenSource #LinuxFoundation #Quantum #AgenticAI #Outshift
