Linux Foundation Launches 'Akrites' Coalition to Defend Open Source Against AI-Enabled Cyber Threats
The Linux Foundation and a broad industry bloc launched Akrites, a coordinated effort to harden critical open-source software in the era of AI-assisted vulnerability discovery, anchored by an open letter titled 'We All Depend on Open Source. We Will Defend It Together.' Founding signatories include AWS, Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, NVIDIA, Microsoft & GitHub, IBM, Red Hat, Cisco, JPMorganChase, Citi, the Rust Foundation, Zscaler, and Sonatype, with OpenSSF, CNCF, and OpenInfra participating. The letter drew 455 points on Hacker News — notable for putting rival frontier labs on the same defensive coalition.
