According to Yuri Khan:

  Pi Coding Agent <https://pi.dev/> is Free software (MIT License),
  works with locally hosted models, and observes AGENTS.md.

  OpenCode <https://opencode.ai/> is Free software (also MIT), works
  with locally hosted models, and observes AGENTS.md.

  Goose <https://goose-docs.ai/> is Free software (Apache 2.0), works
  with locally hosted models, and observes AGENTS.md.

And there are others.  According to https://agents.md/, this file is
an emerging standard, so it's reasonable to expect its support to
grow.
