Great for edge AI & robotics, but not for everyone. If you already have a decent GPU laptop or desktop (like RTX 3060/4060), this won't beat it for training or general AI dev. The Jetson Orin Nano shines in low-power, embedded AI projects — like running models on robots, drones, or IoT devices — where size and power efficiency matter more than raw speed. For most desktop-style AI work, a regular GPU will be faster

Just following up with, ABSOLUTELY. This is not a powerful (computationally) device. It doesn't have a lot of fast ram to load models. Pretty much any GPU with 8gb VRAM will perform much better than this.

But, this does have its use cases. Like StrongName8719 said, this is good for low power (running off battery) or small working space projects.

Much like a RaspberryPi, generally speaking, they're not the best value, they're not powerful, but they are small and low powered and sometimes that's exactly what you need.

For this, that's the use case. Low power and small. But for just general AI processing, it's toward the bottom of the list for $/performance vs GPUs.

I mean you can buy 3060s (with 12GB of ram) for less than $250. So if its a choice between this or a 3060, the answer is clear. If its an independent system (i.e. a 3060+ everything else needed), perhaps gets more complicated.

Just out of curiosity I am super new to this stuff but how would this compare to say a google coral dev board or just a regular computer with a google coral. To do ai video detecting? I have a bunch of the google coral dev boards and played with frigate but curious on a comparison.

Thanks, appreciate that. I was wondering why anyone would run this over a dedicated GPU since plenty of GPUs in this price range blow it out of the water on TOPS etc.

This blows the coral dev board away in terms of power. 67 TOPS vs 4 TOPS. 8 GB RAM vs 1 or 4 GB RAM. More importantly, as typical for Google, they seem to have abandoned any sort of support for coral. There haven't been product updates since 2020, and I suspect there won't be?

If you want to experiment with CUDA or do some basic AI workflows, you probably want to just rent a GPU or use machine learning notebook services. The device is so underpowered that it is not very useful outside very specific purposes. Also see discussions: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLa...ake_sense/

Can you load an OS on this and use it as a mini-PC?

I had the previous version (Jenson Nano, without ORIGIN in the name). 4 GB RAM and booting of micro SD.

Yes, it ran a custom version of Ubuntu, and it was more or less like a Raspberry Pi but with better GPU.

I don't have experience with this particular model, but the previous one one not able to play smooth youtube videos ay high resolution. Maybe this one does.

but as a browsing and editing offie documents (Libre Office or Goole Docs) this should be fine.

Can this be used to create a home assistant? I've been interested in having local controls after the Alexa issue in the last 30 days. Amazon did something that stopped all the apps from working for a few hours. So lights, music and automations all ceased working. The Alexa response was to fix the app in the Alexa program, but there were no apps to fix.

Yes but using this would be overkill. You could use a rasberrypi or similar fruit board ($50) or even a N100 miniPC ($110)

If I wanted to do my own private ChatGPT equivalent (understanding that it won't be as fast of course) what would you recommend for less that $250?

$249 seems to be the new regular price per nVidia's page at https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/auto...loper-kit/ so I wouldn't rush out to buy it unless you need it.
