NVIDIA CEO praises OpenClaw as revolutionary operating system

At this year's GPU Technology Conference (GTC2026), NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang caused a stir when he referred to OpenClaw as a "new operating system." In his remarks, Huang emphasized that OpenClaw is far more than just a framework or simple tool – it is a full-fledged operating system that is fundamentally changing the software development landscape.

Rapid rise with impressive numbers

OpenClaw's popularity is evident in impressive numbers: with over 300,000 stars on GitHub, the platform has surpassed established technologies within just two years. Notably, OpenClaw has outperformed both React and Linux in terms of GitHub popularity – an extraordinary achievement for such a young technology.

Urgent appeal to businesses

Huang used the opportunity to urgently warn businesses: "If your company doesn't have an OpenClaw strategy yet, you're already at a disadvantage." This statement underscores the urgency with which Huang views OpenClaw adoption. For the NVIDIA CEO, it is clear that OpenClaw is not just a temporary trend but represents a fundamental change in how software is developed and deployed.

GTC2026 context

The GTC2026 traditionally serves as a platform for groundbreaking announcements in the field of Artificial Intelligence and GPU technology. That Huang positioned OpenClaw in this context as an operating system underscores the strategic importance that NVIDIA attaches to this project. The connection between OpenClaw and AI and GPU computing suggests a deeper integration that goes beyond conventional operating systems.

Outlook

The future of OpenClaw remains exciting. With NVIDIA's support and the growing community, OpenClaw could indeed become the next major operating system that redefines how we interact with computers. Companies that ignore this development risk, according to Huang, losing touch with a rapidly changing technological landscape.
