Khronos Celebrates 25 Years of Interoperability

Khronos Group marks its 25th anniversary in 2026, recounting how industry members formed an open consortium since 2000 to build interoperability standards. It highlights milestones—OpenGL ES (2003), WebGL (2011), glTF (2015), OpenCL (2009), Vulkan (2016), OpenXR (2019), and Slang (2024)—and explains how these standards enabled cross-platform GPU acceleration across mobile, web, desktop, AI, and spatial computing.
