According to AI TIMES, Arm said that in agentic AI infrastructure, the key is a structure in which agents run on the CPU while the DPU independently monitors and protects them. Nvidia's Open Agent Safety Platform, introduced on October 2, was presented as an example of this division of roles being implemented in actual infrastructure, built on 64 Arm Neoverse V2 cores. The article noted that as agents go beyond simple response-based AI to handle tool calls, data access, and task execution, infrastructure requirements are difficult to explain through execution performance alone. It explained that designs that separate security perimeters, policy enforcement, monitoring, and isolation functions from the environment where agents run are becoming more important. Arm highlighted as a strength that its CPU and DPU ecosystem can work together on the same software foundation. As agents expand beyond the cloud into areas such as the edge and robotics, the article said, the infrastructure competition will increasingly focus not just on how well they can run tasks, but on where and how their behavior is controlled.
Perspective
The core issue here is that competition in AI infrastructure is expanding from computation performance to controllability. If approaches that separate execution and protection gain traction, the future standard will be not only who can run faster, but also who can operate more reliably. In the end, the spread of agentic AI is likely to become a competition over how system-wide role division and trust structures are designed, rather than a simple contest over which semiconductor is superior.
