Nvidia said Oct. 30 that it is offering NemoClaw, a set of free, open blueprints that companies can use to build AI agents they control.  An AI agent is software that can carry out multi-step tasks, such as researching a question or editing code, on its own.

The Santa Clara chipmaker said a blueprint pairs agent software, from options including OpenClaw and LangChain's Deep Agents, with Nvidia's own Nemotron AI models and OpenShell, a protected space that limits what an agent can touch on a computer.

Companies can run the setup in the cloud, in their own data centers or on Nvidia-powered desktop computers, Nvidia said.  The company describes it as a setup businesses control themselves.

Nvidia said LangChain, an AI software company, found its tuned agents on Nemotron came close to top commercial models at about one-tenth the cost per task.
