Cryptocurrencies linked to artificial intelligence, such as Bittensor’s $TAO, $NEAR Protocol, Internet Computer, and others rallied after Wired reported that Nvidia is preparing a new open-source platform for autonomous AI agents, a concept similar to the OpenClaw framework, ahead of its annual developer conference.
The broader artificial intelligence token category rose about 4.8% to roughly $14.17 billion in market value, outperforming the wider crypto market, where the CoinDesk 20 index was up 2.86%. Among the majors, Bittensor’s $TAO led the move, with $NEAR Protocol and Internet Computer also advancing.
Nvidia’s new platform, according to Wired, will be called NemoClaw. The system would allow enterprise software companies to deploy AI agents that can perform multi-step tasks for employees, and Nvidia has reportedly approached firms including Salesforce, Cisco, Google, Adobe, and CrowdStrike about potential partnerships ahead of its developer conference next week.
Wired says NemoClaw is expected to include security and privacy tools for enterprise use and is part of Nvidia’s broader strategy to expand its software ecosystem while maintaining its dominance in AI infrastructure.
Nvidia’s GTC developer conference begins March 17.
