NVIDIA Open-Sources NOOA: An Agent Framework Treating Agents as Python Classes
AccBalanced · x · 2026-08-09
NVIDIA has open-sourced NOOA (NVIDIA-labs OO Agents), a framework that represents agents as standard Python classes. Developers write ordinary Python methods for deterministic behavior, while LLM-driven execution loops complete methods whose bodies are left abstract.
This approach bridges agent development and traditional software engineering. Behavior can be tested, versioned, and refactored like normal code, rather than scattered across prompts and workflow graphs. Notably, the repository includes an explicit warning that its built-in safety checks are not a containment boundary.
