$NVDAPress releaseOct 21, 2026, 5:48 AM ETRead the release

NVIDIA launched the OpenShell Reference Architecture at GTC Berlin, a full-stack framework for building, containing, observing and enforcing safe AI agents across enterprise infrastructure and edge systems. The architecture combines Vera Rubin for inference, Vera CPUs for agent harnesses, and BlueField-4 DPUs running NVIDIA Sentry for in-silicon policy enforcement, with claimed 30x higher throughput per megawatt on Vera Rubin NVL72 systems. A broad ecosystem — including Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft, AWS, Google Cloud, CrowdStrike, SAP, ServiceNow and major banks BBVA and Santander — is working with the framework, and it is available now.

Key figures

Vera cpu performance claim
2x performance of x86 processors
Sentry agent capacity boost
up to 20%
Vera rubin nvl72 throughput claim
30x higher throughput per megawatt
