NVIDIA Releases NemoClaw to Improve OpenClaw's Security

NemoClaw is an open-source software stack designed to safely deploy and manage autonomous like OpenClaw.

After weeks of rumors, Jensen Huang finally revealed NemoClaw during NVIDIA GTC 2026 as a security focused layer for the OpenClaw ecosystem. The goal is to autonomous agents safer to run without limiting what they can do.

OpenClaw went viral in a matter of weeks and that momentum also exposed a bunch of security concerns. Agents often run with broad permissions, which makes data access and execution harder to control in practice.

NVIDIA’s answer is NemoClaw.

What is NemoClaw?

It is a runtime layer that sits on top of OpenClaw and enforces how agents behave. It does not replace OpenClaw. It constrains it.

You still get autonomous agents, but they run inside a controlled environment with explicit rules for data access, network calls, and execution.

NVIDIA implements this using OpenShell, which acts as the secure execution layer. Every agent runs inside a sandbox, and every action passes through policy checks. That includes file access, outbound requests, and model inference.

Here’s what the NemoClaw workflow looks like:
