AI overview

On October 21, 2026, NVIDIA announced the expansion of its open-source Agent Toolkit and the launch of the Agent Knowledge Foundation. According to information published by the NVIDIA Newsroom that day, the expansion also adds the OpenShell secure runtime, the NemoClaw blueprint, and tools such as NeMo Relay and NeMo Compass. The Agent Knowledge Foundation includes CUDA-X libraries and the new Auto-Ontology library, and integrates the Nemotron Retriever and the Kumo family of open models, allowing enterprises to use it without migrating data or rebuilding existing workflows. The same source said that companies such as Palantir, Databricks, and Snowflake have already integrated the toolkit into their respective platforms. There are currently no subsequent independent developments.

    Nvidia launches Open Agent Safety Platform, using BlueField-4 DPU to monitor agents

    At GTC Berlin, Nvidia launched the Open Agent Safety Platform, adding hardware-level controls around the open-source runtime OpenShell; a BlueField-4 DPU works with Sentry software to independently monitor agent behavior and, when it crosses boundaries, isolate and stop it within milliseconds. OpenShell supports third-party agent frameworks such as Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex, and Nvidia says more than 100 organizations already use the platform's technology. Nvidia also introduced the Agent Knowledge Foundation and the Auto-Ontology library, designed to let agents access structured and unstructured data without enterprise data leaving local premises, and expanded its Nemotron 3.5 Super VL, Nemotron 3.5 Bolt 74B-A9B and Kumo series models.

    NVIDIA GTC Berlin 2026 announces 12 releases, covering AI factories, telecommunications, and enterprise agents

    At GTC 2026 in Berlin, NVIDIA announced 12 releases, covering AI factory deployment, semiconductor manufacturing expansion, telecom AI-RAN, enterprise agents, robotics and autonomous driving, as well as new open models for enterprise data, protein design, and quantum computing. On the infrastructure side, the DSX POD modular AI factory reference design is said to shorten deployment time from six months to as little as 14 days, and DSX MaxLPS is said to deliver equivalent AI compute using up to 30% less power, with partners planning to deliver in early 2027. On the telecom side, T-Mobile completed what it calls the world's first AI-RAN call on a commercial network in Bellevue, Washington, with NVIDIA and Nokia, and Elisa completed Europe's first AI-RAN field trial; on the enterprise side, it expanded the open-source Agent Toolkit and introduced the OpenShell reference architecture for monitoring and restricting agent behavior.
