Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Touts OpenClaw As 'Definitely' The Next ChatGPT

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang has acclaimed OpenClaw, a rapidly evolving AI project, as a revolutionary stride in the way humans interact with artificial intelligence.

Huang, in a conversation with Jim Cramer of CNBC’s Mad Money on Tuesday, on the sidelines of Nvidia's GTC event in California, extolled OpenClaw as “the largest, most popular, the most successful open-sourced project in the history of humanity.” He further endorsed it as “definitely the next ChatGPT.”

OpenClaw is an open-source autonomous AI agent platform that goes beyond traditional chatbots, enabling agents to perform tasks, make decisions, and take actions with minimal user input.

Huang said the technology marks a major shift, enabling users to create their own AI agents with a single line of code and deploy them for a wide range of tasks.

Notably, shares of Chinese ‘AI Tigers’ MiniMax and Knowledge Atlas Technology, also known as Zhipu, surged over 19% in Hong Kong on Wednesday, after Huang’s comments on OpenClaw

Nvidia Brings Secure Layer To OpenClaw

NVIDIA has promptly leveraged OpenClaw’s surge. The AI chip giant launched NemoClaw, an enterprise-grade version of OpenClaw, on Monday. This version integrates Nvidia’s software stack and tools with the platform, aiming to make these potent AI agents secure, scalable, and ready for real-world applications.

Huang illustrated the concept with a real-world example of kitchen design, showing how an OpenClaw agent can analyze images, learn design tools, iterate on concepts, and refine its output—all autonomously.

However, the rise of autonomous AI agents like OpenClaw has sparked concerns over security, privacy, and control. NVIDIA aims to address these risks with NemoClaw by adding guardrails such as privacy protections, oversight tools, and enterprise-grade security—key to enabling safe, large-scale adoption of AI agents that can act independently.

At the same time, addressing Nvidia's ties with ChatGPT maker OpenAI, Huang suggested the company's latest $30 billion investment could be its last before the AI startup goes public.
