OpenAI Supports NVIDIA Agent Safety Platform Without Joining It

Sep 30, 2026
OpenAI supports NVIDIA's agent security work and contributes to OpenShell, but it has not joined the platform's group of more than 100 public supporters.

OpenAI supports NVIDIA's Open Agent Safety Platform and works with the company on agent security, despite not joining its public group of supporters, according to TechCrunch. OpenAI contributes to OpenShell, open source software that isolates AI agents in a sandbox and restricts their access to systems and data.

More than 100 companies support the NVIDIA initiative, including Anthropic, Arm and Intel. Amazon, Google and Apple have also not joined publicly.

The complete platform includes NVIDIA Sentry, a proprietary monitoring system that runs on BlueField-4 data processing units and can stop agents that violate policies. OpenShell can be adapted for other hardware, but the Sentry component requires NVIDIA processors. OpenAI also operates a separate cybersecurity consortium called Defense Factory and develops its own safeguards for AI research and products.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
