Nvidia may launch open source AI agent platform 'NemoClaw'
Nvidia is preparing to introduce an open-source platform for AI agents, according to a report by Wired. The initiative, internally referred to as NemoClaw, is aimed at helping enterprise software companies deploy AI agents that can perform tasks for employees.
The chipmaker has already been discussing the platform with major technology firms, including Salesforce, Cisco, Google, Adobe, and CrowdStrike, in an effort to explore potential collaborations. However, it is not yet clear whether these talks have led to any formal partnerships.
According to the report, companies will be able to use the platform even if their products do not run on Nvidia chips. Because the project is expected to be open source, potential partners may receive early access to the technology in return for contributing to its development. Nvidia also plans to include security and privacy features as part of the platform.
The move comes as interest grows in so-called “claws”, a category of open-source AI tools that operate locally on a user’s computer and carry out a series of tasks. These systems are often described as self-learning, as they are designed to improve automatically over time while completing work on behalf of users.
One such project, OpenClaw, previously known as Clawdbot and later Moltbot, attracted attention across Silicon Valley earlier this year for its ability to run autonomously on personal computers and perform work-related tasks. The project was later acquired by OpenAI, which also hired its creator.
For Nvidia, NemoClaw appears to be part of a broader strategy to attract enterprise software providers by offering additional security and infrastructure for AI agents, the report said. The initiative also reflects the company’s growing interest in open source models, as it works to maintain its strong position in the infrastructure market while major AI developers increasingly build their own custom chips.
The report comes shortly after The Wall Street Journal revealed that Nvidia is also preparing a new processor designed to help companies such as OpenAI develop faster and more efficient AI systems. The chip giant is developing a new way of "inference" computing, a form of processing that allows AI models to respond to queries, the report said.
The platform is expected to be unveiled at the Nvidia GTC developer conference in San Jose next month and will incorporate a chip developed by the startup Groq.
