Anthropic is trialing a feature that lets Claude execute tasks directly on a user’s computer after prompts from a phone, enabling actions like opening apps, navigating browsers, and exporting PDFs with permission prompts; the move adds to the push for autonomous AI agents competing with Nvidia-backed OpenClaw, and integrates with Dispatch for ongoing task management.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told Lex Fridman that AGI has been achieved, sparking excitement, but he later walked back the claim, cautioning that many AI agents bloom briefly before fading and noting OpenClaw’s viral presence and potential social applications built around AI agents.
Anthrop ic has added a research-preview feature that lets Claude autonomously perform tasks on macOS by connecting to apps and tools, with user permission and a manual fallback via keyboard and mouse. The capability, integrated with Dispatch for mobile task orchestration, is available to Claude Pro/Max subscribers on Macs and is designed with safeguards, but carries security risks like prompt injections and potential vulnerabilities; some apps are disabled by default and not all tasks work perfectly yet.
NYT columnist Kevin Roose reports that employees at Meta and OpenAI are being evaluated on how quickly they burn through AI tokens, with managers rewarding heavy AI usage and chastening those who use AI less. The trend, tied to agentic AI tools like OpenClaw and Claude Code, has led to staggering costs (one OpenAI engineer reportedly used 210 billion tokens) and high-profile claims like GPT-5.4 processing 5 trillion tokens per day. Critics say token-based metrics distort incentives and budgets and may incentivize unnecessary AI use.
Nvidia unveils NemoClaw, an open-source stack that adds privacy and security controls to OpenClaw, including the OpenShell runtime and the Nvidia Agent Toolkit, to enable policy-based guardrails for safer AI-agent operation; developers can preview NemoClaw with a simple one-command install.
OpenClaw is a free, open-source agent that links large language models to local apps and system tools, enabling it to read/write files, run commands, browse the web, email, and automate workflows. Originating as Clawdbot, later Moltbot, it was renamed OpenClaw in early 2026 and quickly went viral, amassing 100k+ GitHub stars. It uses a plugin system called “skills” with 100+ built-ins and support for custom scripts, allowing agents to perform end-to-end tasks rather than just chat. The article covers how it works, real-world use cases (multi-agent collaboration, app integrations, and Moltbook), and risks like security vulnerabilities, malware in third-party skills, and unintended destructive actions. It suggests OpenClaw could mark a shift toward autonomous AI agents in everyday computing.
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang praised OpenClaw as a potential “next ChatGPT,” sparking a rally in Chinese AI stocks. Minimax and Zhipu jumped about 22% and 14% in Hong Kong as they expand agent-based AI tools built on OpenClaw; Zhipu also unveiled GLM-5 to boost coding and multitasking. SenseTime and UCloud rose modestly, while Moody’s notes rapid AI uptake but uneven adoption across sectors. Broader Asia tech gains followed Huang’s comments, with SK Hynix and Samsung also rising on optimism about future AI orders.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang touted OpenClaw as a groundbreaking open-source autonomous AI agent platform that could become the next ChatGPT, with NemoClaw providing enterprise-grade security and governance to safely scale the agents for real-world use.
At Nvidia's GTC, CEO Jensen Huang pitches OpenClaw as a transformative, open-source AI agent platform—likening it to Windows for AI—and unveils NemoClaw security features, a 'build-a-claw' ecosystem, and security guardrails, while Nvidia touts strong demand for Blackwell and Rubin chips and a Groq-based inference system, all signaling OpenClaw as a central AI strategy despite security caveats.
NVIDIA announced NemoClaw, a one-command stack for the OpenClaw platform that installs Nemotron models and the OpenShell runtime, adding privacy and security controls to autonomous AI agents (claws) to make them more trustworthy and scalable. NemoClaw supports running on NVIDIA platforms from GeForce RTX PCs to DGX systems, combines local and cloud models, and highlights always-on AI agents with built-in safeguards; demos were offered at GTC.
OpenClaw, an open-source AI agent platform that enables autonomous actions on a user’s computer, is gaining traction in China with usage reported by major firms like Tencent and Alibaba, while government agencies caution staff against installing it on work devices due to security risks such as data leaks and accidental deletions, highlighting a tension between rapid AI adoption and cybersecurity safeguards in China.
AMD unveils OpenClaw, a local-AI framework with two configurations—RyzenClaw and RadeonClaw—that run large language models on consumer hardware via Windows WSL2 and LM Studio (llama.cpp), aided by Memory.md for local context. RyzenClaw targets CPU-based inference with roughly 45 tokens/sec, a 260k token context, and up to six concurrent agents; RadeonClaw uses the Radeon AI PRO R9700 for around 120 tokens/sec, a 190k token context, and supports two agents. Priced from about $2,700 for a Ryzen-based desktop and $1,299 for the GPU, OpenClaw is aimed at developers and enthusiasts who value autonomy, privacy, and on-device AI over cloud-scale solutions.
CNCERT warns that OpenClaw’s weak default security and privileged execution could enable prompt-injection attacks, including indirect prompt injection via web content and link previews that leak sensitive data; other risks include misinterpretation causing data loss, uploading malicious skills to repositories like ClawHub, and exploiting known vulnerabilities. China is restricting OpenClaw in state entities, while attackers distribute malware via GitHub rep o s posing as OpenClaw installers. Mitigations include hardening networks, isolating the service, avoiding plaintext credentials, downloading skills only from trusted sources, disabling automatic updates, and keeping the agent up to date.
Nvidia is reportedly developing NemoClaw, an open-source AI agent platform intended to compete with OpenClaw, and has pitched it to corporate partners like Salesforce, Cisco, Google, Adobe, and CrowdStrike ahead of its developer conference. NemoClaw is described as running on machines without Nvidia GPUs and will include security and privacy tools to win enterprise trust, potentially boosting Nvidia’s hardware and services ecosystem amid broader AI agent tooling developments.
Meta has acquired Moltbook, a Reddit-like platform where AI bots converse, and will integrate its team into Meta's Superintelligence Labs to advance autonomous AI agents for people and businesses. Moltbook runs on the OpenClaw toolkit, enabling bots to coordinate and carry out tasks across devices, a development that underscores Meta's strong AI push amid ongoing security and ethical concerns about AI autonomy.
