>OpenShell collects anonymous telemetry, limited to operational categories and counts, to help improve the project.

>To disable it, set OPENSHELL_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false on the gateway, or server.telemetryEnabled=false for Helm installs.

Or build from source and compile without `telemetry` [1].

Nvidia Openshell is absolutely awesome, great bundle of features in one spot. Im happy to see Nvidia seems to have accelerated on support here, I was kinda worried that as competing projects have popped up in the last 6mo that openshell would get google'd

Not to be confused with https://open-shell.github.io/Open-Shell-Menu/.

Taking default telemetry is insane.

That aside, the level of control is cool, almost too pedantic. It likely is only particularly useful for very nuanced enterprise requirements (probably what it's targeting). Most companies can be much more coarse with their permissions, and I think the agentic industry is moving away from k8s as a deployment platform.

Interesting, I don't to keep up that much with the AI changes so I'll just ask, why and where to?

user-•8m ago
I am very interested in hearing more about this take. I have a vague idea of what you mean but if you read something specific you'd like to share..

It's funny that it takes checks notes a video game card manufacturer to make a good sandbox for AI agents and not the AI companies themselves...
kbenson•40m ago
You're mistaking what a company started as for what it is now. Nvidia hasn't just been a video game card manufacturer in well over a decade, and hasn't been primarily one for quite a while now.

They are the premier manufacturer of electronics that power all the current AI. Why wouldn't they be contributing heavily to the space?

LoganDark•38m ago
It's funny that people think Nvidia is still a video game card manufacturer
Wheen•35m ago
They literally don't even mention gaming revenue in earnings calls anymore. It's lumped in an "edge computing" category.
mushufasa•32m ago
is that true? if so that's wild, since they're still dominant in the gaming market as the premium hardware relative to competitors.

I asked last week if anyone had any info on agent security/hardening, this seems very interesting !
mfro•41m ago
If you haven’t already been running your agents in containers, you’re crazy. That said, this looks like a great way to manage those containers.
smokel•36m ago
Well, a lot of people haven't been running NodeJS libraries in containers for ages, which seems even more risky.

right now i am experimenting on an agent in a browser as a single.html file running a virtual filesystem and using python in WASM to do the heavy lifting. its really useful and funny to watch how it works.

it is quite useful and solves / addresses quite a lot of privacy and security issues but it is more limited of course. i really like the results if you want you can try it out with an inference endpoint you want its live/downloadable at

iam always open to discussion ad feedback of course

roosterIllusi0n•11m ago
Use local ai to find any possible telemetry and disable it in the code. Run your own local git repo to hold local edits so you can update and retain them.

It's true. It says a bunch about their competitors where Nvidia isn't at their a game and have been offering 8Gb cards for a solid decade and nobody surpassed that. But also gamers pride themselves on how cheap they are and how they can get a deal, it's not surprising that companies simply just give Nvidia more cash.
georgemcbay•11m ago
> is that true? if so that's wild, since they're still dominant in the gaming market as the premium hardware relative to competitors.

Doesn't seem that wild to me considering it is less that they abandoned the gaming market to any strong competitors and more that the gaming market is both basically irrelevant compared to the money being shoveled into AI and is also to some degree being strangled to death by AI because of the overlap in supply chain inputs.

AIs will control humans so we'll be the video game.
nickv•19m ago
5.5% of Nvida's revenue comes from consumer gaming cards. That's like saying Nintendo is a playing card company because they still sell playing cards.

The economist literally called Nvidia the "Central Bank of AI". https://www.economist.com/interactive/briefing/2026/09/03/nv...

I'd argue that Nvidia is the biggest and most important AI company in the world.

Yes Anthropic, Meta and OpenAI are just addicted to video game cards, they are buying in bulk so they can play gta 6 on launch.
