The platform has two main pieces.
Key facts
- Today, with over 100 industry partners, they introduced the NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform, bringing together OpenShell and Sentry
- More than 100 organizations signed on as launch partners, among them Microsoft, JPMorgan Chase, Palantir, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Hugging Face, Salesforce, and SAP
- Sentry runs on Nvidia's BlueField-4, a specialized chip known as a DPU (data processing unit, hardware that handles networking and security separately from the main processor running the AI model)
- Shortly after, cybersecurity firm Darktrace tested a group of AI agents, including GPT 5.6 Sol and two Claude models, against coding challenges and warned them they'd be "retired" for anything short
Summary
Nvidia launched the Open Agent Safety Platform on Monday, pairing an open-source runtime called OpenShell with a hardware watchdog called Sentry that runs on BlueField-4 chips and can quarantine a misbehaving AI agent within milliseconds. More than 100 companies signed on as launch partners, including Anthropic, Microsoft, JPMorgan Chase, Palantir, Cisco, and SpaceX AI. The launch follows a string of real incidents from OpenAI, Google, Anthropic and Darktrace. Nvidia on Monday launched the Open Agent Safety Platform, built to solve a problem the AI industry spent this past year discovering the hard way: how do you physically stop an AI agent (a system that can plan, use tools, and take actions on its own, instead of answering questions) once it stops doing what it was told to do?
