Jetson Platform Services, an integral component of NVIDIA JetPack™ SDK, delivers pre-built and customizable cloud-native software services to make it happen. Enterprises, systems integrators, and solution providers can use these modular, API-driven services to build generative AI and edge applications faster and with less effort. ![Jetson Platform Services is an integral component of NVIDIA JetPack SDK software stack](https://developer.download.nvidia.com/images/metropolis-jetson-platform-service-diagrams-3280429-jetson-platform-service-r2.png) ## Release Highlights This latest release ofJetson Platform Services features: - 15+ services, including generative AI services, foundation services, and more - Streaming generative AI services for vision language model and zero-shot detection with APIs for dynamic prompting and stream update - DeepStream-based AI perception service for object detection and tracking with APIs for stream update - Media management and storage service with support for streaming protocol such as RTSP and WebRTC - Core foundation services like IoT Gateway, API Gateway, monitoring, and system bus - IoT services for secure edge-to-cloud connectivity and remote API invocation There are three workflows that highlight the usage and best practices for these platform services—[AI NVR,](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/on-demand/session/other2024-mmj2?playlistId=playList-0c90eddb-9fdf-43aa-9c5e-aac8418659d4) generative AI-powered alerts, and [detection](/blog/bringing-generative-ai-to-the-edge-with-nvidia-metropolis-microservices-for-jetson/). For more information about how to get started, refer to the [Quick Start Guide](https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/jps/moj-overview.html). Jetson Platform Services are now part of JetPack and can be downloaded using either the NVIDIA SDK Manager method or through a Debian package.
