NVIDIA Metropolis

NVIDIA Metropolis is a comprehensive application framework and suite of developer tools designed to bring computer vision and AI-driven video analytics to various industries, including smart cities, retail, and manufacturing. By leveraging edge-to-cloud infrastructure, Metropolis enables the deployment of sophisticated AI models that can analyze visual data in real-time to improve safety, efficiency, and operational insights.

The platform integrates seamlessly with NVIDIA's hardware ecosystem, specifically their GPUs and Jetson modules, providing a full-stack solution for developers. As a software-defined platform, its primary 'manufacturing' involves software development and engineering led by NVIDIA's global teams, though the hardware it runs on is produced through NVIDIA's global semiconductor supply chain.

Originally launched by NVIDIA Corporation, Metropolis remains a core component of the company's enterprise AI strategy. NVIDIA, headquartered in Santa Clara, California, is a world leader in accelerated computing and has transitioned from a gaming-focused hardware company to an AI industrial powerhouse, providing the foundational technology for the modern AI revolution.
