Nvidia has launched the Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit, a compact generative AI supercomputer designed for developers, hobbyists, and students. Priced at USD 249 (down from USD 499), the new kit delivers a 1.7x increase in generative AI inference performance and a 70 percent boost to 67 INT8 TOPS. Additionally, it provides a 50 percent increase in memory bandwidth, now reaching 102 GBps compared to its predecessor, Nvidia said on Tuesday.

Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit
The kit features a Jetson Orin Nano 8GB system-on-module (SoM) with an Nvidia Ampere GPU with tensor cores, a 6-core Arm CPU, and support for up to four cameras with enhanced resolution and frame rates. According to Nvidia, the platform is ideal for developing generative AI models, LLM-based chatbots, computer vision systems, and AI-powered robotics.
"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," Nvidia said.
Software Updates for Existing Users
Existing owners of the Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit can unlock the same performance upgrades through a software update via the JetPack SDK. Jetson runs Nvidia AI software including Isaac for robotics, Metropolis for vision AI and Holoscan for sensor processing. Nvidia says development time can be reduced with Omniverse Replicator for synthetic data generation and TAO Toolkit for fine-tuning pre-trained AI models from the NGC catalogue.
The software updates to boost 1.7X generative AI performance will also be available to the Jetson Orin NX and Orin Nano series of systems on modules, the official release said.
