For those tuned into the AI arms race among the Big Three, Open AI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini and Anthropic’s Claude, it’s been a non-stop stream of one-upmanship as their language models and underlying platforms evolve at a dizzying pace. However, one development that was easy to overlook was Nvidia’s December 2024 release of its newest AI computer, the Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit, essentially an AI embedded computer. (Nvidia has an excellent blog post that provides a good overview of the device, along with a video of Nvidia’s founder and CEO Jensen Huang talking about the latest technology.)
What does this have to do with packaging and processing machine designers? Potentially, plenty. So much so, that for this column, we are going to depart from our usual editorial standard of writing about one supplier’s offerings. (We always reserve the right for detailed product or vendor coverage for significant developments, as we have done recently for Rockwell Automation, Siemens and Schneider Electric’s incorporation of generative AI into their platforms.)
