NVIDIA publishes OpenShell and Open Agent Safety Platform for continuous in-silicon agent monitoring
NVIDIA introduced OpenShell, an Apache-2.0 open-source secure runtime for sandboxed autonomous AI agents, and described the NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform that pairs OpenShell on Vera CPUs with NVIDIA Sentry on BlueField-4 DPUs to provide layered, out-of-band monitoring and real-time policy enforcement. The platform emphasizes verifiable policies, out-of-band enforcement, controlling the path to the model, scaling agent authority with reasoning visibility, and a shared responsibility model across labs, enterprises, and hardware providers.
