Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced the development of NemoClaw, an enterprise-grade AI agent platform based on the OpenClaw open-source framework, on Monday, addressing security and privacy concerns in AI adoption.
The new platform aims to enable wider enterprise adoption of AI agents by providing a controlled environment for their operation and data handling, integrating enterprise-grade security and privacy features into OpenClaw. This allows companies to manage AI agent behavior and data handling with a single command.
Huang emphasized the importance of an OpenClaw strategy for companies, stating, “Every company in the world today needs to have an OpenClaw strategy, an agentic systems strategy.” He drew comparisons to the necessity of past strategies for Linux, HTTP HTML, and Kubernetes.
Nvidia collaborated with OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger on NemoClaw’s development. The platform provides users with access to coding agents and open-source AI models, including Nvidia’s NemoTron models, and can utilize cloud-based models on local devices.
NemoClaw is hardware agnostic and integrates with NeMo, Nvidia’s AI agent software suite. Nvidia describes NemoClaw as an early-stage alpha release, noting it is “building toward production-ready sandbox orchestration.”
The development of NemoClaw follows a trend of companies focusing on enterprise AI agent platforms. OpenAI launched Frontier in February for enterprises to build and manage AI agents. Gartner reported in December that governance platforms for AI agents would be crucial infrastructure for enterprise AI adoption.
Huang praised OpenClaw, saying, “OpenClaw gave us, gave the industry exactly what it needed at exactly the time,” drawing parallels to the timely emergence of Linux, Kubernetes, and HTML.
