OpenShell

NVIDIA's safe, private runtime for autonomous AI agents

18,204 stars Apache-2.0

OpenShell is NVIDIA's sandboxed runtime for running autonomous agents safely and privately on your own machine. Agents (Hermes, LangChain Deep Agents, OpenClaw and friends) execute inside an isolated environment with managed local inference, so file access, network calls and credentials stay inside a boundary you control instead of the agent's raw shell. NVIDIA ships a community distribution and a research journal alongside the main repo. Written in Rust, Apache-2.0, 18k+ stars within a week of launch.
