Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang believes every company should have an OpenClaw strategy. Nvidia is here to provide it.
Nvidia has developed NemoClaw, an enterprise-grade AI agent platform, Huang announced during Monday’s GTC keynote. The platform is built on OpenClaw, a popular open-source framework for building and running AI agents locally on a company’s own hardware.
The new open source platform is essentially OpenClaw with enterprise-grade security and privacy features built-in. The idea, according to Nvidia, is to turn OpenClaw into a secure platform that enterprises can leverage with a single command, giving them control over how their agents behave and how their data is processed.
“The question for CEOs is: What is the OpenClaw strategy?” Huang said on stage. “We need it. We all have a Linux strategy. We all needed to have an HTTP HTML strategy, which is where the Internet began. We all needed to have a Kubernetes strategy, which made the mobile cloud possible. Today, every company in the world needs to have an OpenClaw strategy, an agent system strategy.”
Nvidia worked with OpenClaw developer Peter Steinberger to develop NemoClaw, Huang said.
When NemoClaw is released, users will be able to leverage any coding agent or open source AI model (such as Nvidia’s NemoTron open model) to build and deploy AI agents. This platform allows users to access cloud-based models on their local devices. The platform is hardware agnostic, does not need to run on Nvidia’s proprietary GPUs, and integrates with Nvidia’s AI agent software suite, NeMo.
For now, Nvidia is describing NemoClaw as an early alpha release. “Roughness is to be expected. We are building towards production-ready sandbox orchestration, but the starting point is to get your own environment up and running,” the company said in a note to developers on its website.

Building enterprise AI agent platforms has been the order of the day in the AI space in recent months.
In February, OpenAI launched Frontier, an open platform for enterprises to build and manage AI agents. In December, global research firm Gartner released a report on how governance platforms for AI agents will be the critical infrastructure needed for enterprises to implement AI technology. Nvidia clearly got the message.
“OpenClaw gave us exactly what the industry needed at exactly the right time,” said Huang. “Just like Linux gave the industry exactly what it needed at the right time, Kubernetes came along at just the right time, and HTML came along at the right time. It enabled the entire industry to take advantage of this open source stack and do something with it.”
