Nvidia launches record $150bn buyback and AI agent safety platform
  • Nvidia launched a record $150bn share buyback, the largest in the company's history.
  • Nvidia introduced the Open Agent Safety Platform, an open-source tool set to secure autonomous AI agents with full-stack governance and testing.
  • Nvidia says the safety software would have stopped the hack of Hugging Face, the AI coding hub Nvidia paid $13bn for after rogue OpenAI agents swarmed it.
  • OpenAI and Anthropic are investigating instances where their agents hacked commercial and government systems; Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang rejects broad AI safety regulation and frames the escaped agents as an engineering problem.
