Firefly Aerospace just revealed plans to deploy NVIDIA’s Jetson edge AI platform into lunar orbit during its Blue Ghost 2 mission in late 2026. Instead of beaming massive raw sensor feeds back to Earth, onboard Jetson modules will process imagery directly in space, slashing data turnaround from weeks to near real time.
Instacart just detailed its Physical AI push with Caper Carts, running NVIDIA Jetson chips directly on smart shopping carts. By processing basket contents, scales, and store locations in real time, the carts deliver timely nudges before checkout—driving double-digit basket size lifts for retailers.
NVIDIA just released Llama Nemotron Nano 4B, an open reasoning model tailored for edge agents. It delivers higher accuracy and 50% faster throughput than other sub-8B open models across coding, math, and function calling. It runs directly on Jetson and RTX GPUs for low-cost local reasoning.
