NVIDIA is putting generative AI within reach of more people with a new compact supercomputer that offers increased performance at a lower price. The new NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit, which fits in the palm of a hand, provides gains in generative AI capabilities and performance for everyone from commercial AI developers to hobbyists and students, the company said, for US$249 (down from US$499). The kit can be used to run the most popular generative AI models, like vision transformers, large language models, vision-language models, and more, and delivers as much as a 1.7x leap in generative AI inference performance, a 70% increase in performance to 67 INT8 TOPS, and a 50% increase in memory bandwidth to 102 GBps compared with its predecessor. The developer kit consists of a Jetson Orin Nano 8 GB 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 G...

Verizon has developed a solution with NVIDIA that enables a wide range of AI applications to run over Verizon’s 5G private network with private mobile edge compute (MEC). Verizon’s 5G Private Network with Enterprise AI solution brings together Verizon’s secure, reliable, low-latency 5G private network and private MEC with the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform and NVIDIA NIM microservices to deliver real-time AI services on premises for enterprise customers.  “Generative AI, with its predictive capabilities, is poised to be a critical component of digital transformation and future business growth in almost all industries,” said Srini Kalapala, Senior VP of Technology and Product Development at Verizon.  “We're leveraging our network's unique strengths including private networks and Verizon’s global industry leadership in private MEC, combined with NVIDIA’s AI compute capabilities to enable real-time AI applications that require security, ultra-low latency, and high bandw...
