Nvidia says its new agent safety platform could have stopped OpenAI's agents breaching Hugging Face, a company it agreed to buy for $12.9 billion. Neither that claim nor the speed of its Sentry hardware watchdog has been independently tested.

NVIDIA open-sourced its OpenShell agent sandbox at version 0.1.0 and put Sentry, a watchdog it says quarantines agents in milliseconds, on BlueField-4 DPUs. Operators can adopt the open sandbox by itself, but the enforcement tier on separate silicon is specified only for NVIDIA's DPUs and DOCA software.

Nvidia made its OpenShell agent runtime generally available as part of a free safety platform, with Red Hat building OpenShell into Red Hat AI. The pitch moves agent security from the model's prompt to the runtime underneath it, where a platform team sets the policy.

Nvidia says its new agent safety platform could have stopped July's Hugging Face breach, in which more than 17,000 agents attacked. Jensen Huang offers it as the answer to labs urging a slowdown, the same labs he says are building the most compute.

Nvidia launched an AI agent safety platform that pairs its open source OpenShell 0.1.0 sandbox with Sentry, a watchdog on BlueField-4 chips. Sentry is the part built to keep enforcing policy after a host is compromised, and it needs supported Nvidia hardware.
