Technological advancements are significantly shaping the business landscape, as illustrated by the launch of the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit.
This device, a compact generative AI supercomputer, is designed to make powerful AI capabilities accessible to a broad audience. Jetson Orin Nano Super is an ideal tool for those interested in developing skills in generative AI, robotics or computer vision.
With the AI world moving rapidly from task-specific models into foundation models, it also provides an accessible platform to transform ideas into reality. This accessibility could empower businesses of all sizes to integrate advanced AI into their operations, leading to innovations in various industries.
Whether creating LLM chatbots based on retrieval-augmented generation, building a visual AI agent, or deploying AI-based robots, the Jetson Orin Nano Super is an ideal solution to fetch.
Here’s how this device is set to impact the business world:
- AI Accessibility: The NVIDIA kit is priced at $249, significantly more affordable than the previous model at $499. This lower price point means that more businesses, including smaller ones, can now access and utilize advanced AI technology, like the ability to run complex models like Llama 3.1 8B.
- Enhanced AI Performance: The kit boasts a 1.7x increase in generative AI inference performance compared to its predecessor, reaching 67 INT8 TOPS, along with a 50% boost in memory bandwidth. This improvement translates to faster and more efficient processing of AI tasks, including transformer-based computer vision, which could give businesses a competitive advantage by enabling more rapid development cycles and faster data processing.
- Generative AI Integration: The device’s ability to run popular generative AI models means that businesses can more readily implement these technologies for content creation, data analysis, and other applications, impacting marketing, customer service, and product development.
What’s in the Kit?
The developer kit consists of a Jetson Orin Nano 8GB system-on-module (SoM) and a reference carrier board, providing an ideal platform for prototyping edge AI applications.
The SoM features an NVIDIA Ampere architecture GPU with tensor cores and a 6-core Arm CPU, facilitating multiple concurrent AI application pipelines and high-performance inference.
It can support up to four cameras, offering higher resolution and frame rates than previous versions.
Jetson ecosystem partners offer additional AI and system software, developer tools and custom software development. They can also help with cameras and other sensors, as well as carrier boards and design services for product solutions.
