NVIDIA expanded its open source Agent Toolkit with new tools. The kit now includes Agent Knowledge Foundation with CUDA-X libraries. It also adds Auto-Ontology to translate raw data into business concepts. Nemotron Retriever and Kumo open models help agents find and use company data. OpenShell provides a secure runtime boundary for agents. NemoClaw blueprints offer reference designs for specialized agents. Enterprises like Palantir, Databricks and Snowflake already use the foundation. AWS, SAP and ServiceNow improved search and reranking with Nemotron Retriever. The toolkit lets companies monitor and govern agent operations.
