- The Raspberry Pi AI Kit includes the Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ and a Hailo AI acceleration module for use with the Raspberry Pi 5. It provides an accessible, cost-effective, and power-efficient way to integrate high-performance AI. Explore applications including process control, security, home automation, and robotics!
- The AI module is a 13 TOPS (Trillions of Operations Per Second) neural network inference accelerator built around the Hailo-8L chip. The module uses the M.2 2242 form factor and comes pre-installed in the M.2 HAT+, to which it connects through an M key edge connector. The M.2 HAT+ communicates between the AI module’s M.2 interface and the Raspberry Pi 5’s PCIe 2.0 interface.
- When the host Raspberry Pi 5 is running an up-to-date Raspberry Pi OS image, it automatically detects the Hailo module and makes the NPU available for AI computing tasks. The built-in spam-apps camera applications in Raspberry Pi OS natively support the AI module, automatically using the NPU to run compatible post-processing tasks.
Features
- Contains a neural network inference accelerator capable of 13 TOPS (Trillions of Operations Per Second)
