Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang believes every company should have an OpenClaw strategy. And Nvidia is here to provide it.
Nvidia has developed NemoClaw, an artificial intelligence agent platform for enterprises, Huang was announced during his GTC keynote on Monday. The platform is built on top of OpenClaw, the popular open source framework for building and running artificial intelligence agents locally on a company’s hardware.
The new open source platform is essentially OpenClaw with enterprise security and privacy features. The idea is to turn OpenClaw into a secure platform that businesses can leverage with a command, giving them control over how agents behave and manage data, according to Nvidia.
“For CEOs, the question is what is your strategy for OpenClaw?” Huang said on stage. “We need it. We all have a Linux strategy. We all needed an HTTP HTML strategy, which started the Internet. We all needed a Kubernetes strategy, which made mobile cloud possible. Every company in the world today needs to have an OpenClaw strategy, an agent systems strategy.”
Nvidia partnered with OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger to develop NemoClaw, Huang said.
Once released, NemoClaw users will be able to use any open source coding agent or AI model, including Nvidia’s NemoTron open models to build and deploy AI agents. The platform allows users to access cloud-based models on their local devices. The platform is hardware agnostic — it doesn’t need to run on Nvidia’s own GPUs — and integrates with NeMo, Nvidia’s artificial intelligence software suite.
For now, Nvidia describes NemoClaw as an early-stage alpha release. “Expect raw edges. We help towards production-ready sandbox orchestration, but the starting point is to build and operate your own environment.” the company said on its website in a note to developers.

Creating enterprise AI agent platforms has become the AI space’s obsession du jour in recent months.
OpenAI launched Frontier, its open platform for enterprises to build and manage artificial intelligence agents, in February. In December, global research firm Gartner published report on how governance platforms for AI agents would be the critical infrastructure needed for businesses to adopt AI technology. Nvidia clearly got the message.
“OpenClaw gave us, gave the industry exactly what it needed at the right time,” Huang said. “Just like Linux gave the industry exactly what it needed at exactly the right time, just like Kubernetes came along at exactly the right time, like HTML came along. It enabled the entire industry to grab that open source stack and do something with it.”
