Re: Agentic Communication Protocols and MIME Messages

Thanks. I have just found this message.

I will take a look at this. This is interesting as it is closer to the idea

I am running some experiments and it is evident that most popular formats
work better for generations as there are obviously more samples for those
in the training dataset.
