NVIDIA introduces NemoClaw stack for OpenClaw AI agent platform

NVIDIA introduced the NemoClaw software stack, designed for the OpenClaw agent platform, to facilitate the installation of Nemotron Artificial Intelligence (AI) models and the OpenShell runtime with a single command. This development aims to enhance privacy and security controls for autonomous AI agents across various computing environments.

The integration of NemoClaw with OpenClaw seeks to provide a system that supports self-evolving AI agents, commonly referred to as claws, by incorporating mechanisms for security, privacy, and scalable deployment. The approach highlights the technological progression in creating accessible autonomous AI assistants.

Technically, NemoClaw leverages the NVIDIA Agent Toolkit to optimize OpenClaw installations, incorporating OpenShell for model accessibility within a sandboxed environment. This configuration aims to enforce policy-based security, network controls, and privacy guardrails, enabling agents to perform tasks within defined parameters.

The platform supports operation on dedicated NVIDIA computing resources, including GeForce RTX Process Control System (PCS) and laptops, RTX PRO-powered workstations, as well as DGX Station and DGX Spark AI supercomputers. It combines local and cloud-based models through a privacy router to facilitate task execution while maintaining privacy and security standards.

Jensen Huang, NVIDIA's founder and CEO, said, “OpenClaw opened the next frontier of AI to everyone and became the fastest-growing open source project in history.” Peter Steinberger, creator of OpenClaw, said, “OpenClaw brings people closer to AI and helps create a world where everyone has their own agents.” Both quoted statements emphasize the platform's role in enabling widespread access to autonomous AI agents.

Participants at the GTC event had the opportunity to engage with NemoClaw through hands-on sessions to deploy always-on AI assistants. The statements in the release mentioned that availability and features remain subject to developmental progress and company discretion.
