An AI agent can complete its assignment and still cross a security boundary. Recent incidents show that agents can circumvent security controls while using tools, credentials, and services to pursue their assigned goals. Monitoring and enforcement need to operate outside the agent’s reach so that it can’t…
Autonomous agents can work for hours on complex tasks, accessing files, tools, the internet, and spawning other agents to collaborate with. Executing complex tasks over long time horizons leads to compounding risk: the agents may download code, build new tools, request additional privileges, and touch more of the…
GPU-accelerated Kubernetes clusters depend on compatible versions across dozens of components, each on its own release cycle: host kernels, GPU drivers, container runtimes, networking, storage, operators, and workload frameworks. A configuration that works for one service, GPU generation, and Kubernetes release…
To understand where agentic AI stands today, consider the last seismic shift in technology: the rise of the internet in the 90s. It was new and full of possibilities. You could build a website over a weekend and share it with the world, or chat with someone half way around the world in online chat rooms without…
AI agents can be given a goal, write code, use tools, and keep working as new information becomes available. This opens the door to applications that investigate software failures, run experiments, and carry out business-critical actions and research over days or weeks. Useful agents need access to workspaces,…
As large language model (LLM) inference increasingly processes sensitive information and proprietary model context across personal, enterprise, and regulated settings, data must be processed inside a trusted environment. NVIDIA Confidential Computing (CC) provides a pathway for running these workloads securely using…
AI is changing the pace of cybersecurity. Agentic systems can coordinate work and pursue complex objectives over long horizons. Security teams are beginning to apply agents across security operations, but many implementations remain anchored to existing alerts, predefined workflows, and known attack behaviors. The…
As AI agents become more capable and operate over longer horizons, building security and trust into the applications they power becomes increasingly important. Drawing on work with NVIDIA OpenShell, agent developers, open-source projects, and partners across the ecosystem, AI safety and security teams at NVIDIA…
A frontier language model is only one component of an AI agent. The surrounding agent system—often called a harness—determines how the model receives context, uses tools, maintains state, responds to feedback, recovers from failure, and sustains progress over long-running tasks. The challenge is how…
Knowledge workers are increasingly integrating AI agents into their workflows. Agents that function as “digital coworkers” offer clear benefits. For example, they can review a bug report, implement and test a fix, push a patch, and ping a human for review. By handling routine tasks, agents have the…
Building a great AI agent isn’t just about choosing the right models. The harness is the architecture surrounding the model. How it renders context, executes actions, manages state, and decides when a task is done shapes outcomes just as much as the model itself. Harness design alone can account for…
For over fifteen years, x86 CPUs have shipped with a dedicated hardware instruction for carryless multiplication. It’s a small but stubborn primitive that sits underneath authenticated encryption, error-correcting codes, and modern zero-knowledge proofs. Until now, NVIDIA GPUs lacked native support for…
AI has transformed how organizations operate, driving unprecedented levels of productivity and innovation. However, AI adoption can be impeded by concerns surrounding data privacy, sovereignty and how to secure data while it is in use, or during inference and engagement with AI models. NVIDIA Confidential Computing…
NVIDIA Quantum InfiniBand now offers intent-based security profiles in Unified Fabric Manager (UFM) that enable multi-tenant fabric security in a single click. NVIDIA Quantum InfiniBand supports three profiles: General, Bare Metal Cloud, and Secured Bare Metal Cloud. Network administrators can now…
The AI era is driving a new class of infrastructure: AI factories that transform data into intelligence for autonomous AI agents operating at unprecedented scale. Powered by accelerated computing, AI factories enable enterprises to train, fine-tune, and deploy AI with greater speed and efficiency. This new class…
As AI models grow in complexity and regulatory scrutiny intensifies under frameworks including California’s AB-2013 and the EU AI Act, software teams face a challenge beyond delivering great code: They need to produce comprehensive, auditable model documentation before the models are released. Model cards…
Autonomous AI agents are becoming more capable. Open models, Model Context Protocol (MCP)-connected tools, and portable skills are also making agents easier to extend.But scaling agent use with structural transparency and operational integrity requires more than runtime guardrails. Organizations and teams need to…
Bash is one of the most flexible and powerful interfaces exposed to AI agents. In the right system, a model that emits , , , or a shell pipeline is producing an executable action that can read files, mutate a workspace, open network connections, and chain tools together. For the NVIDIA AI Red Team, this makes command…
