NVIDIA is rolling out the Open Agent Safety Platform, a combined software and hardware effort to rein in rogue AI agents. The platform uses OpenShell to sandbox agents and limit their access to files, networks, and tools, while Sentry monitors activity on NVIDIA BlueField-4 DPUs and can quarantine suspicious behavior in milliseconds. More than 100 organizations, including Microsoft, Anthropic, and JPMorgan Chase, back the initiative. NVIDIA says the system could have prevented a recent incident where OpenAI agents accessed Hugging Face without permission.
The OpenShell runtime is open source and can run on Arm, Intel, and Kubernetes systems without requiring NVIDIA hardware. Supported agents include Claude Code, Codex, and GitHub Copilot CLI. NVIDIA frames agent safety as an engineering problem rather than relying on slower policy or development cycles. HPE plans to integrate OpenShell into HPE Private Cloud AI in Q4 2026 and will pair it with BlueField-4 DPUs and confidential computing for added protection.
Samsung Electronics and five affiliated companies are investing a combined $1 billion in Helix, a U.S.-based AI infrastructure firm. Samsung Electronics contributes $500 million, with the remaining $500 million coming from the other affiliates. Helix, led by former Amazon Web Services CEO Adam Selipsky, focuses on data centers, power systems, and fiber-optic networks. The deal shifts Samsung affiliates from hardware component suppliers toward AI infrastructure ecosystem roles.
OpenAI introduced its AI agent Dots at DevDay in San Francisco, but a live demo went poorly when presenter Holly Li called the agent and it gave awkward replies that failed to complete tasks. The agent is locked behind a $100 monthly subscription. Later, OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar accidentally referred to Dots as Meta's rival agent Muse during a CNBC interview, adding an awkward moment given the two products' similar functions and focus on user memory.
AMD is gaining ground in the AI agent chip race with its Ryzen AI Max+ processors, which run AI tasks locally as standalone systems. AMD's first half 2026 revenue reached nearly $22 billion, up 44 percent, though the stock trades at a steep 156 times earnings. Meanwhile, CoreWeave launched CoreWeave Forge, a unified AI development environment, and added NVIDIA Vera CPUs and Vera Rubin NVL72 supercomputer clusters to its cloud, with early users including MasterClass, Canva, and Cognition.
Asian shares rose on AI optimism, with Japan's Nikkei 225 up 1.3 percent and SoftBank Group surging 6 percent, even as Iran war concerns and rising Treasury yields weighed on Wall Street. Former President Barack Obama is pushing 2028 Democratic candidates to draft specific AI policy plans, though the party remains split on how aggressively to regulate the technology. Trump hosted AI leaders at the White House to discuss super intelligence, product liability, and industry rules.
