Deploying Open Source Vision Language Models (VLM) on Jetson

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) can be deployed on the NVIDIA Jetson family of edge devices for real-time physical AI applications. This guide provides a step-by-step tutorial for running the NVIDIA Cosmos Reasoning 2B model using the vLLM serving framework. The process covers installing the NGC CLI to download the model, pulling the appropriate vLLM Docker image for the hardware, and launching the server. The tutorial concludes by showing how to connect the deployed model to the Live VLM WebUI for interactive, webcam-based reasoning.
