NVIDIA expands open source Agent Toolkit with Agent Knowledge Foundation and new models
NVIDIA announced an expanded open source Agent Toolkit that it says enterprises are using to customize, control and govern AI agents. The toolkit now bundles the new NVIDIA Agent Knowledge Foundation, built on CUDA-X libraries including cuDF, cuGraph, cuML, cuOpt and cuVS plus a new Auto-Ontology library, alongside open models such as Nemotron Retriever and the new Kumo family. It also includes the OpenShell secure agent runtime, NemoClaw secure agent blueprints and tools such as NeMo Relay and NeMo Compass. NVIDIA says Palantir, Databricks and Snowflake are already using Agent Knowledge Foundation components, and that Amazon OpenSearch Service, SAP, ServiceNow and Zoom have used Nemotron Retriever models.
NVIDIA is pitching an open stack of models, harness, runtime, data and tools as the basis for trustworthy enterprise agents, extending its role from chips into agent software and data tooling.
Agents are only as useful as what they know, and only as trustworthy as the boundaries they run within.
Leading enterprises are using the open source NVIDIA Agent Toolkit — now expanded with new tools — to customize and control agents, use company data to inform their answers and actions, monitor what they do and govern how they operate.
NVIDIA Agent Toolkit comprises:
- The new NVIDIA Agent Knowledge Foundation with NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries
- NVIDIA open models including Nemotron Retriever and the new Kumo family
- NVIDIA OpenShell secure agent runtime
- NVIDIA NemoClaw secure agent blueprints
- Tools and skills, like NeMo Relay and NeMo Compass

To develop agents that accomplish real work and are trustworthy from development to deployment, builders need an open agent stack that brings together the models, harness, runtime, data and tools.
