As AI models become more efficient, more devices can become autonomous, but developers need compact, energy-efficient computers built for edge AI, asserted NVIDIA Corp. The company today introduced NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano 2, a new entry-level computer for edge AI that it said enables millions of developers worldwide to build systems for physical AI applications. “Today’s small and medium frontier models have reached the accuracy of last year’s largest frontier models, unlocking real time intelligence for edge devices,” stated Deepu Talla, vice president of robotics and edge AI at NVIDIA. “The Jetson Orin Nano 2 computer puts that breakthrough within reach of millions of developers, delivering the performance and energy efficiency needed for real-time reasoning in smart drones, robots, and vision AI systems.”
