A week before GTC 2026, details leaked about what Nvidia has been cooking beyond GPUs: NemoClaw, a new open-source platform for deploying enterprise AI agents. The twist — it doesn’t only run on Nvidia hardware.
What NemoClaw Is
NemoClaw is an enterprise platform for AI agents. The pitch: companies can build and deploy agents that automate workflows — from customer service to internal processes to data analysis. The platform combines three existing Nvidia components: the NeMo framework for training, the Nemotron model family, and NIM microservices for inference.
The key differentiator: NemoClaw is open source. Companies get access to the source code and can customize agent behavior, workflows, and integrations to their own requirements.
The Partner Strategy
Nvidia is actively pitching NemoClaw to enterprise software companies. The wish list reads like a tech industry who’s who: Salesforce, Cisco, Google, Adobe, CrowdStrike. Because the platform is open source, partners get free access — in exchange for contributing to the project.
Why This Is Interesting
Nvidia is clearly positioning itself beyond the pure hardware role. Whoever controls the platform that AI agents run on has a stake in the future of enterprise AI. And by releasing the whole thing as open source, they’re creating an ecosystem that works even without Nvidia GPUs — which paradoxically strengthens their position because more companies end up in their orbit.
Jensen Huang is expected to officially unveil NemoClaw at the GTC keynote on March 16.
The Bigger Picture
The agent platform war is on. Anthropic has the Claude Marketplace, OpenAI is building its own agent tools, Google is embedding Gemini deep into Workspace — and now Nvidia arrives with a hardware-agnostic open-source alternative. For companies that don’t want to lock themselves into a single vendor, this could be very attractive.
