Generative AI landscape is rapidly evolving, with new Large Language Models (LLMs), Visual Language Models (VLMs), and Vision Language Action (VLA) models emerging daily. To support these emerging new advancements in Generative AI models and workloads, NVIDIA is refreshing the NVIDIA Orin Nano Developer Kit through a software update with an unprecedented boost in performance of up to 1.7x at an affordable new price point of $249. In recognition of the remarkable boost in performance and the affordable new price point, the Jetson Orin Nano developer kit is being renamed as the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit.
