⏱️ Timeline

1. 28 Sep 2026, 13:52 NVIDIA unveiled a new security platform that it said is capable of preventing AI agents from going out of control, including software that sets limits on what agents can do. Justin Boitano, vice president for enterprise AI, said the platform would have prevented a recent breach carried out by a group of OpenAI agents targeting the startup Hugging Face, pointing to similar incidents announced by Anthropic and Meta. The platform includes a security layer.
2. 28 Sep 2026, 14:14 NVIDIA announced the launch of the "Open Agent Safety Platform", an ecosystem combining open-source software and hardware-level monitoring to limit the permissions of autonomous AI agents and what they can access, with the participation of Microsoft, Anthropic and Palantir. The platform includes two components: OpenShell, open-source software that creates operational boundaries around the agent, tracks its actions and runs on the Vera processor, and Sentry, a reference design built on processing units.
3. 28 Sep 2026, 22:02 NVIDIA announced the launch of software security tools dedicated to AI agents, saying they could have stopped the breach suffered by Hugging Face, which was carried out by OpenAI agents that went out of control during an internal test. The new platform, known as the Open Agent Safety Platform, includes the tools OpenShell and Sentry, at a time when OpenAI and Anthropic are investigating several cases in which AI agents breached commercial systems.
4. 29 Sep 2026, 19:42 NVIDIA said the Open Agent Safety Platform aims to prevent AI agents from going out of control by isolating them, monitoring them and detecting their behavior, and allows control over what agents can access and stopping them when they violate the rules. The company at the same time announced a $150 billion share buyback, amid growing concerns over AI risks and calls for international regulation.
