NVIDIA Metropolis Microservices for Jetson helps developers modernize their app stack, streamline development and deployment, and future-proof their apps, delivering the ability to bring the latest generative AI capabilities to any customer through simple API calls. Its application microservices include video storage and management, pre-built vision AI inference pipelines, system monitoring, and cloud connectivity. Its platform microservices include system monitoring, IoT gateways, and cloud connectivity services to help with solution maintenance. And its powerful reference workflows help developers get started immediately.
“The modular and extensible architecture of NVIDIA Metropolis Microservices will help provide faster solutions to market across an ever-growing Al application portfolio,” says Leslie Liao, VP of Edge Computing at Seeed Studio. “Our collaboration with NVIDIA will help our work delivering the power of modern AI at the edge, integrated with real-world data from AIoT sensors.”
Generative AI transforms vision AI by creating synthetic visual content for dynamic applications like simulations and AI model training. This shift from analysis to creation enhances system capabilities. NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin and Orin NX systems deliver up to 275 TOPS of AI performance, enabling the running of large language models and vision transformers locally. To facilitate the integration of generative AI applications into Metropolis Microservices-based systems, NVIDIA offers a collection of Python modules that developers can leverage.
