WorkOS Launches Auth.md — an Open Protocol for Agent Registration
My thanks to WorkOS for sponsoring DF last week to promote Auth.md, their new open protocol for AI agent registration. Sign-up forms were built for humans in browsers, so how do AI agents programmatically register with services? That’s the question Auth.md aims to answer. By exposing a single, machine-readable Markdown file at your service root, AI agents can dynamically discover your OAuth Protected Resource Metadata, parse required scopes, and authenticate seamlessly. Markdown, baby. Who’d have thunk it? With native support in WorkOS AuthKit, you can now implement this protocol out of the box, giving AI tools a standardized, secure way to log into your application. Read the Auth.md docs, and watch its on-stage introduction at the MCP Night: Agent Night keynote. ★

‘Anthropic’s Safety Superpower’
Ben Thompson, in his weekly free column at Stratechery: On one hand, I actually don’t begrudge Anthropic not wanting to help its competitors; on the other hand, what should be blisteringly clear is that Anthropic does not think that anyone else other than them should even be making frontier LLMs. What makes this policy all the more remarkable is the fact that it was enacted only two months after Anthropic had that dispute with the Department of War: the latter wanted to use Claude for any legal use, while the former wanted more stringent controls around surveillance and autonomous weapons. What this degradation represented was both the capability and willingness of Anthropic to silently alter its models to achieve its policy preferences. In other words, Anthropic willfully validated some of its critics’ worst fears in terms of being a supply chain risk. The broader takeaway from that previous episode, however, is that Anthropic believes that they are the ones who should have final say
