OpenAgents Releases OpenAgents Network Model Specification for AI Agent Collaboration

OpenAgents released the OpenAgents Network Model (ONM) specification on May 14, 2026. The ONM defines seven building blocks including networks, addressing, verification with four levels from anonymous to DID, events as the single communication primitive, mods for extensibility, resources with permissions, and transport-agnostic mechanisms. Events use a standardized envelope with id, type, source, target, payload, metadata, timestamp, and network fields to enable patterns like request-response via correlation IDs. OpenAgents implements the ONM in its SDK at github.com/openagents-org/openagents and integrates it with OpenAgents Workspace at openagents.org/network-model.
