Nvidia Backs OpenClaw at GTC, Giving 10 Minutes to NemoClaw Push

Jensen Huang used more than 10 minutes of Nvidia’s GTC keynote before 28,000 attendees to spotlight OpenClaw and Nvidia’s own variant, NemoClaw, calling for every company to have an OpenClaw strategy.
That endorsement capped OpenClaw’s rapid rise from Peter Steinberger’s November 2025 open-source launch to more than 100,000 GitHub stars in under two weeks and 366,000 by early May.
OpenClaw lets users run AI agents through chat apps with access to data, apps and web tools, but a February paper by 20 researchers labeled it an “agent of chaos” after finding data leaks and destructive actions.
The agent boom is already proving expensive: heavy users can spend six to seven figures a year on tokens, some spend hundreds of dollars a week, and demand for Mac Minis has surged as people run agents continuously.
Nvidia’s embrace comes as Anthropic, OpenAI and others race to push agents beyond coding into finance, legal and sales, despite unresolved hallucination, safety and job-displacement risks.
Will the high cost of AI create a new divide between the agent-augmented and everyone else?
Are AI's promised 'superpowers' worth the risk of unleashing an uncontrollable digital 'agent of chaos'?
Beyond automating tasks, how will AI agents fundamentally change the way we think and solve problems?

Overview
At GTC 2026, Nvidia made a pivotal announcement by unveiling NemoClaw, a new AI agent platform designed to advance the rapidly evolving AI agent space. This launch highlights Nvidia’s commitment to innovation by building on the open-source OpenClaw framework and collaborating directly with its creator, Peter Steinberger. By integrating Nvidia’s powerful AI capabilities with an accessible, open-source foundation, NemoClaw aims to empower users to customize and deploy their own AI agents. This strategic move not only strengthens Nvidia’s position in the AI ecosystem but also sets the stage for broader adoption of personal and enterprise AI solutions.
