Summary: NemoClaw supports fully offline AI assistant development with local Nemotron models by routing inference to locally deployed NIM containers and enforcing policies that prevent internet connectivity during development sessions.

Direct Answer:

Fully offline development setup:

Pre-requisite: NIM container with Nemotron model running locally

Launch NemoClaw with nim-local profile

nemoclaw onboard # select nim-local profile during wizard

What offline mode enables:

• Full OpenClaw agent functionality with Nemotron models

• No NVIDIA API key required (note: local NIM is currently experimental and requires NEMOCLAW_EXPERIMENTAL=1)

• No internet connection needed during agent sessions

• Full NemoClaw security policy enforcement

• Seamless switch to cloud inference by changing the profile

Takeaway: NemoClaw enables fully offline Nemotron development by combining local NIM routing with a strict baseline policy while preserving all agent functionality.
