Jensen Huang Says "Claude Code and OpenClaw Sparked the Agent Inflection Point": Nvidia Releases OpenShell Security Runtime, 17 Enterprise Giants Connect

According to CoinWorld, based on monitoring by 1M AI News, NVIDIA announced the Agent Toolkit open platform at GTC, with the core component being the open-source secure runtime OpenShell, providing policy-based security, networking, and privacy safeguards for autonomous AI Agents. During the launch, Jensen Huang stated, “Claude Code and OpenClaw have triggered a turning point for Agents, extending AI from generation and reasoning to action. Employees will be enhanced by teams composed of cutting-edge, specialized, and customized Agents. The enterprise software industry will evolve into a specialized Agent platform, and the IT industry is on the brink of the next major expansion.” The Agent Toolkit also includes the open-source AI-Q Blueprint co-developed with LangChain, featuring a hybrid architecture with cutting-edge models for orchestration and Nemotron open models for research, reducing query costs by over 50%. NVIDIA’s AI-Q Blueprint-powered Agents currently rank first on both DeepResearch Bench and DeepResearch Bench II leaderboards. In terms of security, NVIDIA is collaborating with Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, Microsoft Security, and TrendAI to make OpenShell compatible with their cybersecurity and AI security tools. CrowdStrike also released the “Secure-by-Design AI Blueprint,” integrating Falcon platform’s protection capabilities directly into NVIDIA’s AI Agent architecture. Seventeen software platform vendors have adopted the Agent Toolkit: Adobe, Amdocs, Atlassian, Box, Cadence, Cisco, Cohesity, CrowdStrike, Dassault Systèmes, IQVIA, Palantir, Red Hat, SAP, Salesforce, Siemens, ServiceNow, and Synopsys. Among them, Salesforce will run Agentforce Agents via Slack as the main interface and orchestration layer, while Siemens has launched the Fuse EDA AI Agent based on Nemotron for full-process automation in chip and PCB design.
