Nvidia Turns Rogue AI Agents Into a Hardware-Safety Control Layer

Nvidia launched the Open Agent Safety Platform on September 28, 2026, combining OpenShell secure runtime software with Sentry monitoring on BlueField-4 DPUs. The move pushes agent governance down into CPUs, DPUs, sandboxes, audit trails, and enterprise AI factory infrastructure. Independent coverage from AP and Axios framed the release as Nvidia’s answer to the rogue-agent safety debate, while HPE said it will integrate the platform into private, regulated, and sovereign AI deployments.
