Nvidia has launched a new industry coalition aimed at strengthening artificial intelligence safety and cybersecurity, bringing together major technology companies just days after a high-profile security incident involving Open AI and Hugging Face.
The chipmaker announced on Monday that it had formed the Open Secure AI Alliance (OSAA) alongside founding members including Adobe, CrowdStrike, Hugging Face and Dell Technologies.
The alliance will focus on developing and sharing open-source tools designed to improve AI security, governance and the safe deployment of autonomous AI agents. The initiative comes amid growing debate over how advanced AI systems should be regulated .
In a blog post announcing the alliance, Nvidia argued that restricting access to open frontier AI models could ultimately undermine cybersecurity rather than improve it.
“Blanket restrictions on open frontier AI systems would weaken defensive capacity and risk concentrating power, dependence and vulnerability in a few closed providers,” the company said.
The alliance follows a public letter released on July 24 titled “Open Weights and American AI Leadership,” which was signed by Nvidia, OpenAI and dozens of other organizations. The letter urged policymakers to support open-weight AI models, arguing that open access to model weights strengthens innovation, transparency and security.
What Each Company Brings to Alliance
Open-weight AI models make their trained parameters publicly available, allowing researchers and developers to inspect, evaluate and build upon existing systems. Similarly, open-source software provides publicly accessible code that can be reviewed, audited and improved collaboratively.
As part of its contribution to the alliance, Nvidia said it is releasing open models, model weights, datasets and AI agent research, including its new Nvidia Labs Object-Oriented Agent project, which has been published on GitHub.
According to the company, the framework is designed to give developers greater control over AI agents by making it easier to test, monitor, audit and regulate their actions before deployment.
The formation of the Open Secure AI Alliance reflects a broader shift within the AI industry toward collaborative approaches to AI governance, particularly as autonomous agents become more capable of executing complex tasks with minimal human oversight.
