Edge AI Developers: Nvidia Jetson Price Hikes Might Not Be All Bad News

Last week, while organizing a product selection list for smart home devices in cross-border e-commerce, I noticed an old project—the sample plan for an AI vision-based smart lock. The procurement price for its core component, the Jetson Nano, had actually doubled. I double-checked the supplier quotes, confirmed I wasn't seeing things, and quickly looked up the news. That's when I found out NVIDIA had quietly adjusted prices across the entire Jetson series, with some models seeing increases of over 100%.
