Huang Renxun stated that "Claude Code and OpenClaw Triggered the Agent Inflection Point": NVIDIA Releases OpenShell Secure Runtime, Joined by 17 Corporate Giants

According to 1M AI News monitoring, NVIDIA announced the Agent Toolkit open platform at the GTC conference, with the core component being the open-source secure runtime OpenShell, providing a policy-based security, networking, and privacy fence for autonomous AI Agents. Jensen Huang stated at the event: "Claude Code and OpenClaw have ignited a turning point for Agents, extending AI from generation and inference to action. Employees will be augmented by a team of cutting-edge, professional, and customized Agents, transforming the enterprise software industry into a specialized Agent platform, with the IT industry on the verge of the next major expansion."

The Agent Toolkit also includes the open-source AI-Q Blueprint co-built with LangChain, employing a hybrid architecture where cutting-edge models handle orchestration and Nemotron open models drive research, reducing query costs by over 50%. NVIDIA-developed Agents using the AI-Q Blueprint currently rank first on both the DeepResearch Bench and DeepResearch Bench II leaderboards.

On the security front, NVIDIA is collaborating with Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, Microsoft Security, and TrendAI to make OpenShell compatible with their network security and AI security tools. CrowdStrike simultaneously released the "Secure-by-Design AI Blueprint," embedding the protective capabilities of the Falcon platform directly into the NVIDIA AI Agent architecture.

17 software platform vendors have integrated the Agent Toolkit: Adobe, Amdocs, Atlassian, Box, Cadence, Cisco, Cohesity, CrowdStrike, Dassault Systèmes, IQVIA, Palantir, Red Hat, SAP, Salesforce, Siemens, ServiceNow, and Synopsys. Salesforce, for instance, will run the Agentforce Agent with Slack as the main interface and orchestration layer, while Siemens has introduced the Nemotron-based Fuse EDA AI Agent for end-to-end automation in chip and PCB design.
