Overview

  • The developer kit is available now at $3,499, with Thor T5000 production modules priced at $2,999 each for orders of 1,000 or more, and the T4000 listed at $1,999.
  • Nvidia claims 7.5× the AI compute of Orin with up to 2,070 FP4 teraflops, 128 GB of memory, and a 40–130 watt operating range.
  • The platform can run multiple generative, language, vision, and vision‑language‑action models concurrently via multi‑instance GPU, with Isaac, Metropolis, Holoscan and JetPack support and compatibility with Hugging Face and PyTorch.
  • Early adopters and testers include Amazon Robotics, Boston Dynamics, Agility Robotics and Caterpillar, with research teams at Stanford, Carnegie Mellon and the University of Zurich integrating the system.
  • Nvidia opened Drive AGX Thor preorders for autonomous vehicles with deliveries expected in September, while robotics remains about 1% of revenue but a stated growth priority.
