Nvidia CEO Huang unveils new software that works as a browser for AI agents

Jensen Huang wants AI agents to run the way your Chrome tabs do: isolated, policy-bound, and easy to kill when they misbehave. On September 28, Nvidia’s CEO launched the Open Agent Safety Platform, a two-part system combining an open-source runtime called OpenShell with a hardware-level monitoring layer named Sentry. Together, they create what Huang is framing as a “browser for agents,” a secure environment where autonomous AI can operate without going rogue. As enterprises rush to deploy AI agents that can code, research, monitor cybersecurity threats, and run complex operations for hours or days at a stretch, someone needs to build the guardrails. Nvidia is betting that someone should be Nvidia. How the browser metaphor actually works OpenShell runs AI agents inside sandboxed execution environments, each one isolated like a browser tab. If one agent crashes or starts behaving outside its policy boundaries, the others keep running. The system enforces strict policy adherence, maintains audit trails, and can push policy updates to running agents without shutting them down. Sentry sits underneath as the hardware-level enforcer, monitoring agent behavior and stepping in when software...
