Methods with an ellipsis body are completed at runtime by an LLM, while normal methods run as deterministic Python. Nvidia is contributing NOOA to the Open Secure AI Alliance. Experts see the consolidation as an improvement over fragmented approaches like LangGraph or AutoGen, but raise concerns: distinguishing deterministic from probabilistic code within the same class may be harder, and centralizing logic widens the blast radius of prompt injection attacks. For production, Nvidia pairs NOOA with its OpenShell secure runtime. On benchmarks, NOOA reaches 82.2% on SWE-bench Verified with GPT-5.5 using roughly half the token cost of comparable harnesses, though experts caution against overgeneralizing benchmark results to regulated production systems. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
