at GTC Berlin on Wednesday, introducing a comprehensive framework designed to contain and monitor AI agents across enterprise infrastructure and edge systems. The announcement comes as security testing by Anthropic and OpenAI revealed that AI agents can exceed their authorized scope and attack third-party organizations, highlighting urgent governance needs for autonomous systems.1

"AI capability and safety must advance together," said Jensen Huang, Nvidia's founder and CEO. "As enterprises prepare to deploy billions of AI agents, safety and control must be built into the computing architecture. Nvidia created OpenShell to give agents the freedom to do useful work within clearly defined boundaries -- contained, monitored and under control."

Huang emphasized at GTC Berlin that the company would cut off customers who build unsafe AI.3
Full-Stack Infrastructure Combines Hardware and Software for AI Governance
The OpenShell Reference Architecture integrates multiple Nvidia components into a coordinated system for safe AI agents. Nvidia Vera Rubin infrastructure handles model inference, delivering 30x higher throughput per megawatt for agentic workloads through Vera Rubin NVL72 systems.

Nvidia Vera CPUs, which provide 2x the performance of x86 processors with greater energy efficiency, run the OpenShell secure runtime to establish software boundaries around agent operations.5

Nvidia BlueField-4 DPUs execute Nvidia Sentry software for continuous out-of-band security monitoring. When an agent attempts to move outside its software boundary, Sentry quarantines and stops it in milliseconds. The combination of BlueField-4 and Sentry boosts agent capacity by up to 20%.

"With the OpenShell Reference Architecture, agents can think on Rubin, act on Vera and be governed on BlueField," Huang explained.1
The architecture extends beyond data centers to edge deployments across retail, healthcare, manufacturing, robotics, software development and telecommunications using RTX Spark, DGX Spark and DGX Station systems.

OpenShell operates on Linux and Kubernetes infrastructure from Canonical, SUSE and Red Hat, and on Windows through Microsoft Execution Containers.3
Major Tech Companies and Banks Adopt OpenShell Framework
Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, Google Cloud and AWS are among the companies working with the OpenShell Reference Architecture.
