NVIDIA is launching a long-term, gigawatt-scale strategic partnership with Thinking Machines Lab, and will bring OpenClaw to its GTC event, on 16 to 19 March.
The partnership aims to accelerate development of always-on artificial intelligence (AI) agents, made available to conference attendees, NVIDIA said in an announcement.
At GTC in San Jose, attendees can customise and deploy long-running agents - called “claws” - using OpenClaw, which the announcement describes as "the fastest-growing open source project in history."
A "build-a-claw" activity runs will run daily during the conference, with on-site cloud compute or local accelerated runs on DGX Spark or GeForce laptops, the chipmaker added.
The GTC conference programme spans chips, software, models and applications, and includes more than 700 sessions, 150 researcher posters and 70-plus hands-on training labs.
NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang will deliver the headline keynote at the SAP Center, with programming that also features panels and appearances from leaders at Perplexity, LangChain, Mistral and others, the company said.
Hardware including DGX Spark systems, Jetson modules and GeForce laptops will be available to buy on site. Nvidia highlighted that livestreamed coverage and a developer community livestreams will be available for real-time hackathon and demo access.
