What if you could have a supercomputer that fits in your palm and doesn't break the bank?


NVIDIA has introduced the Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit, a compact generative AI powerhouse designed to make advanced AI development more accessible. Chen Su, writing on the NVIDIA Blog, highlights how this $249 device offers remarkable improvements in performance while maintaining a portable, user-friendly design. From hobbyists and students to experienced developers, this new release offers an exciting opportunity to explore generative AI, robotics, and computer vision without a hefty price tag.


Here’s what makes it stand out:

  • Improved Performance: Offers up to a 1.7x increase in generative AI inference and a 70% boost in computational power compared to its predecessor.

  • Cost-Effective Innovation: Priced at $249, significantly less than the earlier $499 version.

  • Enhanced Design: Fits in the palm of your hand while delivering impressive AI and robotics capabilities.

  • Versatile Applications: Supports tools for creating LLM chatbots, visual AI agents, and AI-based robots.

  • Community and Ecosystem: Backed by NVIDIA’s AI lab, tutorials, and an active developer community.



The Jetson Orin Nano Super represents an important step in democratizing AI. Its affordability, paired with its advanced capabilities, means that more people—whether hobbyists exploring AI for the first time or professionals seeking a nimble solution—can now access high-performance AI tools. This device caters to a growing interest in AI applications, empowering individuals to turn innovative ideas into reality.


Another commendable aspect is NVIDIA's commitment to its existing user base. Through a simple software upgrade, owners of the earlier Jetson Orin Nano can also benefit from the new performance enhancements. It’s an inclusive approach that acknowledges the importance of continuous support for early adopters.


In a world increasingly driven by technology, devices like the Jetson Orin Nano Super reflect a shift toward more inclusive innovation. While it doesn’t promise to solve all challenges in AI development, it does provide a strong, accessible foundation for experimentation and creativity. Whether you’re a student, a developer, or someone simply curious about the potential of AI, this is a tool designed to meet you where you are and help you explore what’s possible.
