  value: high
additional property: Likely AI Summary
  type: PropertyValue
  value: Nvidia's Jetson Orin Nano 2 delivers 78 TOPS and doubles inference performance over its predecessor, enabling more autonomous devices at the edge.
additional property: Narrative Frame
  type: PropertyValue
  value: Nvidia as an enabler of inevitable, scalable edge intelligence — where hardware advances directly unlock new categories of autonomous systems.
additional property: Missing Context
  type: PropertyValue
  value: No mention of thermal design power (TDP), memory bandwidth, supported frameworks, or quantization support beyond INT8; No comparison to competing platforms (e.g., Qualcomm QCS6490, Rockchip RK3588) on equivalent workloads
additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: The story emphasizes growth, adoption, funding, speed, or market movement to make the subject feel increasingly important. Watch for loaded terms such as doubles inference performance, more devices can become autonomous, compact, energy-efficient computers built for edge AI. The distribution reads as wire reprint. A pressure point: No mention of thermal design power (TDP), memory bandwidth, supported frameworks, or quantization support beyond INT8.
