Their two use cases are edge infra — horizontally scaled server applications on a power and cabinet space budget — or as a workstation for workflows that can benefit from distributed compute power.
I could imagine the latter might be handy if you’re doing CAD with rendering in the Amazon rainforest and don’t have 5A of power for x86_64 + GPU. Maybe.
It definitely seems like a solution in search of a problem. Happy to be proven wrong though.
There's a company here in Ireland, Cainthus, that does workplace wellbeing for dairy cows. It does so by continuously analysing video feeds and detecting behaviors that could indicate stress or other environmental factors that make the cows unhappy. Management could be done by the RPi while the inference could run on one or more Jetson boards. These little machines are very friendly for embedded work.
