NVIDIA open-sources framework that turns an agent into one Python class

NVIDIA Labs released NOOA (NVIDIA Object-Oriented Agents), a model-agnostic, open-source Python framework for building AI agents. Instead of separate prompt templates, tool schemas, and workflow graphs, NOOA maps agent state to class fields, available actions to methods, and prompts to docstrings inside a single class.

Why it matters: Agent frameworks are proliferating fast, and NOOA's pitch is simplification for developers already fluent in plain object-oriented Python rather than a new DSL. Coming from NVIDIA, it also signals the chipmaker's continued push up the software stack into agent tooling, alongside its NeMo and NIM ecosystem.
