NemoClaw: Nvidia enhances OpenClaw with security features
Nvidia has introduced NemoClaw, an open-source stack designed to make using AI agents based on OpenClaw easier and more secure.

At GTC, Nvidia announced NemoClaw, its own open-source stack that enhances OpenClaw with additional security and data protection features.
The stack includes Nvidia OpenShell, an isolated runtime environment for autonomous AI agents that controls their access to data and systems, thereby limiting security and data protection risks. OpenShell, in turn, is part of the Nvidia Agent Toolkit, which includes open models, agent building blocks, and runtime environments, among other things. NemoClaw uses central components from this, thus providing a ready-to-use OpenClaw stack.
According to Nvidia, NemoClaw aims to provide the previously missing infrastructure layer below the “Claws” and control their behavior through policy-based security, network, and data protection guardrails.
Nvidia integrates NemoClaw with hardware and partners
In addition to OpenShell, the stack includes open AI models from the Nemotron family, which can be executed locally depending on the available hardware. This integrates NemoClaw into Nvidia's hardware strategy: autonomous AI agents are intended to run not only in data centers but also on dedicated local systems. Nvidia mentions PCs and laptops with GeForce RTX GPUs, RTX Pro workstations, and the new DGX Spark and DGX Station systems for this purpose. Additionally, Nvidia relies on a hybrid approach where open models run locally and more powerful models are used from the cloud.

In parallel, Nvidia supports the stack with a broad partner network of software, cloud, and security providers. Companies such as Adobe, Atlassian, Salesforce, SAP, and Siemens are expected to integrate components of the Agent Toolkit into their products, while security providers like Cisco and CrowdStrike contribute protection and control functions around OpenShell. This positions NemoClaw for future enterprise use.
Parts of the stack, such as the OpenShell runtime, are available on Github. Nvidia points out that NemoClaw is still in an early development phase and should not yet be considered production-ready. Interfaces and the system's behavior may change without prior notice.
