Key Points

Nvidia is reportedly partnering with 17 major companies to build an enterprise-focused platform for AI agents, positioning itself as core infrastructure for business agent deployments.
In contrast, Anthropic is restricting third-party AI agents by blocking apps like OpenClaw from using standard Claude subscriptions due to server resource drain.
Anthropic’s change forces users to pay separate API fees to use third-party agent tools with Claude, effectively shifting cost and control toward Anthropic’s own API.
The article frames a sharp ecosystem strategy divergence: Nvidia opens an agent-building partner ecosystem while Anthropic “walls off” access to protect revenue and capacity.
The moves signal an emerging battleground in AI agents: who controls the distribution layer (subscriptions/ecosystems) versus who hosts the underlying infrastructure for enterprises.

TLDR: Nvidia is partnering with 17 major companies to build a platform specifically for enterprise AI agents, basically trying to become the main infrastructure for business AI.

At the exact same time, Anthropic is doing the opposite. They just blocked third-party AI agents (like the popular OpenClaw app) from using standard Claude subscriptions because the automated bots are draining their servers. Now, if you want to use those third-party tools with Claude, you have to pay separate API fees.

Basically, Nvidia is opening its doors to partners to build out their ecosystem, while Anthropic is walling off its garden to protect its own revenue.
