## Executive Summary
In the wake of a series of high-profile AI safety incidents, Nvidia is introducing a new software tool that helps keep agents from escaping containment

## Key Takeaways
- One notable name is missing entirely from Nvidia’s list: OpenAI. Both companies indicated that OpenAI is a part of Nvidia’s OpenShell effort, though both declined to comment directly on why the AI lab was excluded from the announcement.
- Boitano adds that Nvidia is working with both Arm and Intel to create a version of Sentry that works on the x86 chip architecture. “Once it runs on those instruction-set architectures, it can run on any architecture,” he says.
- Nvidia is positioning all of this as part of a new open-source framework called the Open Agent Safety Platform, which now encompasses OpenShell and Sentry as well.


## Full Coverage
Over the last few months, frontier AI labs have disclosed multiple incidents in which AI agents have hacked into other companies or, in more recent examples, probed official US and Australian government websites. While Nvidia has already taken a leading role in rallying the AI industry around open source security, it's now introducing one new software security platform and making an agentic AI sandbox more broadly available

OpenShell, one of the Nvidia's recently launched security sandboxes for AI agents, is now entering general release for all users. OpenShell was first announced at Nvidia's annual GTC Conference in March; it's a framework for containing agents as they carry out tasks and isolating their activity in the operating system kernel, the foundational program that has access to virtually all parts of a computer system in order to coordinate hardware and software

Nvidia's launch materials indicate that it has AI safety and security collaborations with dozens of other tech companies, including Anthropic, Cisco, CoreWeave, CrowdStrike, Dell Technologies, Hugging Face, JPMorganChase, Mistral, Microsoft, and Palantir. Nvidia says SpaceXAI is using the Open Agent Safety Platform for its Cursor agents and Grok models. The company also says Anthropic and Nvidia are "building security into Claude Managed Agents." Salesforce, Scale AI, and SAP are all confirmed to be integrating OpenShell to some degree. However, it is unclear whether OpenShell has been adopted by Nvidia's full list of partners, or whether Nvidia is gesturing broadly
