Nvidia lets its 'claws' out: NemoClaw brings security, scale to the agent platform taking over AI

OpenClaw — the autonomous AI agent platform that went from niche curiosity to the fastest-growing open-source project in history in a matter of weeks — may be doing it for software itself.

And Nvidia wants to be the company that makes it enterprise-ready.At its annual large GTC 2026 conference in San Jose this week, Nvidia unveiled NemoClaw, a software stack that integrates directly with OpenClaw and installs in a single command.
