Global developers have introduced a universal tool calling protocol (UTCP), allowing AI agents to directly call various tools without relying on proxy servers. Compared to traditional MCP protocols, UTCP supports native interfaces such as HTTP and gRPC, significantly reducing calling latency and complexity. The protocol retains existing enterprise security measures while providing SDKs in TypeScript and Python. Developers can participate in improving the protocol through open-source projects. UTCP has the potential to open up new pathways for AI tool integration.

A dramatic acquisition has recently taken place in the AI coding field: Cognition acquired Windsurf company. Previously, this company had experienced a $2.4 billion reverse talent acquisition by Google and an unsuccessful $3 billion acquisition offer from OpenAI.
