AI safety has to be engineered across the stack. OpenShell sets enforceable boundaries for what agents can do; Sentry adds independent monitoring and enforcement on BlueField.

That matters when agents in enterprise AI factories access private data, tools, and business systems.

[Jensen Huang @JensenHuang]

Today, with over 100 industry partners, we introduced the NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform, bringing together OpenShell and Sentry.

Artificial intelligence is extraordinary technology that will advance discovery, productivity, security, health, and prosperity for generations to come.

But its full promise can only be realized when people have confidence that AI is being built to be safe and deployed with wisdom and responsibility.

This is bigger than a single product. It's the beginning of an open ecosystem to build the trust layer for safe agent systems.

Together, we are building the foundation of the AI economy.

Trust and innovation are not in conflict. Safety is how trust is earned. We must build not only the most capable AI, but the most trusted AI, so that this extraordinary technology can realize its enormous promise for the world. https://t.co/ugYWQ1MyRi

@mike_roberts Fair on ROI for dev teams — token spend as a productivity signal makes sense there. But always-on operational agents don’t have a human measuring ROI per token. They just run. That’s where cost architecture has to be intentional from day one.

[Jeff Echols @jeffbechols]

Stood up OpenClaw. Hit rate limits immediately.
The agentic tax is real — and most enterprise budgets aren't built for it.

We all know the old refrain: "No one gets fired for buying [INSERT LEGACY TECH BRAND HERE]"
