Yes and no. The AMP project is by Google, but several of the big companies are playing in this space. Eventually they don't mind if some of the practices become W3C standards and the project is somewhat open being on GitHub for people to contribute to
Google has AMP
Facebook has Instant Articles
Apple has the Apple News Format
So AMP is Google's version, which is really stripped down HTML to make a page load faster. (Minimize requests, don't block things, etc)
The whole project is open and on GitHub. The easiest example I know off the top of my head is to replace www with amp on Guardian pages. For example https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2016/sep/22/canada-childre... shows how an article differs slightly than its non-AMPed version
