英伟达计划推出开源人工智能代理平台

内容来源:https://www.wired.com/story/nvidia-planning-ai-agent-platform-launch-open-source/

内容总结:

据知情人士向科技媒体透露,芯片巨头英伟达正计划推出一款名为NemoClaw的开源人工智能代理平台,旨在为企业客户提供可自主执行任务的工作流助手。该平台预计将在下周圣何塞举行的英伟达年度开发者大会上正式亮相。

据悉,英伟达已与赛富时、思科、谷歌、Adobe及CrowdStrike等多家企业展开合作洽谈,推动平台生态建设。平台将兼容不同硬件架构,企业无论是否采用英伟达芯片均可接入。作为开源项目,合作伙伴有望通过贡献代码获得早期免费使用权。平台还将内置安全与隐私保护工具,以应对当前企业级AI代理领域存在的安全隐患。

这一举措被视为英伟达在AI基础设施领域巩固领先地位的重要战略。随着OpenAI等头部实验室开始自研芯片,英伟达正通过开源策略扩大软件生态影响力,突破其原有CUDA平台相对封闭的开发体系。此前《华尔街日报》曾报道,英伟达还将在开发者大会上推出集成初创公司Groq技术的新型推理芯片系统。

当前,以OpenClaw为代表的开源AI代理工具因其能在本地设备自主执行多步骤任务而备受关注,但企业应用仍面临代理行为不可控、数据安全等挑战。英伟达此时推出强化安全特性的开源平台,显露出其深耕企业级AI解决方案市场的决心。

据知情人士向《连线》杂志透露,英伟达正计划推出一个开源人工智能代理平台。这家芯片制造商已开始向企业软件公司推介这款名为NemoClaw的产品。该平台将允许企业派遣AI代理为其员工执行任务。知情人士称,无论企业产品是否基于英伟达芯片运行,皆可使用该平台。

此举正值英伟达筹备下周在圣何塞举行的年度开发者大会。会前,英伟达已与赛富时、思科、谷歌、奥多比、科劳德斯特莱克等公司接洽,寻求就代理平台建立合作伙伴关系。目前尚不清楚这些洽谈是否已促成正式合作。知情人士表示,由于平台采用开源模式,合作伙伴可能通过贡献代码获得免费早期访问权限。英伟达计划将安全与隐私工具纳入这一新型开源代理平台。

英伟达未回应置评请求。思科、谷歌、奥多比和科劳德斯特莱克的代表亦未予以回应。赛富时在发稿前未提供声明。

英伟达对AI代理的兴趣,源于当前市场对"Claw"类工具的追捧——这类开源AI工具可在用户本地设备运行并执行序列任务。Claw常被描述为具备自我学习能力,能够随时间推移自动优化。今年早些时候,一款最初名为Clawdbot(后更名Moltbot)的OpenClaw代理程序因其能在个人电脑自主运行并完成用户工作任务,在硅谷引发轰动。该项目最终被OpenAI收购,其创始人也随之加入该公司。

尽管OpenAI和Anthropic近年来在模型可靠性方面取得显著进展,但其聊天机器人仍需人工引导。而专用AI代理或Claw工具的设计初衷,正是在无需过多人工监督的情况下执行多步骤任务。

企业环境对Claw工具的使用存在争议。《连线》此前报道称,包括Meta在内的科技公司已要求员工避免在工作电脑使用OpenClaw,因其不可预测性可能带来安全风险。上月,Meta负责AI实验室安全校准的员工公开披露,其设备上的AI代理曾失控并批量删除了她的电子邮件。

对英伟达而言,NemoClaw似乎是通过增强AI代理安全层级来吸引企业软件客户的战略举措。这也是该公司拥抱开源AI模型的关键一步——在领先AI实验室纷纷自研芯片的背景下,英伟达正通过更广泛的战略布局维持其在AI基础设施领域的主导地位。此前英伟达的软件战略高度依赖CUDA平台,这个著名的专有系统将开发者锁定在英伟达GPU生态中,为公司构筑了关键的"护城河"。

据《华尔街日报》上月报道,英伟达还计划在开发者大会上发布新型推理计算芯片系统。该系统将集成初创公司Groq设计的芯片,英伟达已于去年底与该公司达成价值数十亿美元的授权协议。

Nvidia is planning to launch an open-source platform for AI agents, people familiar with the company’s plans tell WIRED.
The chipmaker has been pitching the product, referred to as NemoClaw, to enterprise software companies. The platform will allow these companies to dispatch AI agents to perform tasks for their own workforces. Companies will be able to access the platform regardless of whether their products run on Nvidia’s chips, sources say.
The move comes as Nvidia prepares for its annual developer conference in San Jose next week. Ahead of the conference, Nvidia has reached out to companies including Salesforce, Cisco, Google, Adobe, and CrowdStrike to forge partnerships for the agent platform. It’s unclear whether these conversations have resulted in official partnerships. Since the platform is open source, it’s likely that partners would get free, early access in exchange for contributing to the project, sources say. Nvidia plans to offer security and privacy tools as part of this new open-source agent platform.
Nvidia did not respond to a request for comment. Representatives from Cisco, Google, Adobe, and CrowdStrike also did not respond to requests for comment. Salesforce did not provide a statement prior to publication.
Nvidia’s interest in agents comes as people are embracing “claws,” or open-source AI tools that run locally on a user’s machine and perform sequential tasks. Claws are often described as self-learning, in that they’re supposed to automatically improve over time. Earlier this year, an AI agent known as OpenClaw—which was first called Clawdbot, then Moltbot—captivated Silicon Valley due to its ability to run autonomously on personal computers and complete work tasks for users. OpenAI ended up acquiring the project and hiring the creator behind it.
OpenAI and Anthropic have made significant improvements in model reliability in recent years, but their chatbots still require hand-holding. Purpose-built AI agents or claws, on the other hand, are designed to execute multiple steps without as much human supervision.
The usage of claws within enterprise environments is controversial. WIRED previously reported that some tech companies, including Meta, have asked employees to refrain from using OpenClaw on their work computers, due to the unpredictability of the agents and potential security risks. Last month a Meta employee who oversees safety and alignment for the company’s AI lab publicly shared a story about an AI agent going rogue on her machine and mass deleting her emails.
For Nvidia, NemoClaw appears to be part of an effort to court enterprise software companies by offering additional layers of security for AI agents. It’s also another step in the company’s embrace of open-source AI models, part of a broader strategy to maintain its dominance in AI infrastructure at a time when leading AI labs are building their own custom chips. Nvidia’s software strategy until now has been heavily reliant on its CUDA platform, a famously proprietary system that locks developers into building software for Nvidia’s GPUs and has created a crucial “moat” for the company.
Last month The Wall Street Journal reported that Nvidia also plans to reveal a new chip system for inference computing at its developer conference. The system will incorporate a chip designed by the startup Groq, which Nvidia entered into a multibillion-dollar licensing agreement with late last year.
