Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2 40TOPS

Description

The Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2 serves as a compute extension for the Raspberry Pi 5, focused on local processing of artificial intelligence tasks. The board leverages the Hailo-10H AI accelerator and the Raspberry Pi 5's PCI Express interface, ensuring high communication throughput and low inference latency. The module's 8 GB of dedicated RAM enables the execution of large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs) without burdening the host computer's RAM..

The Hailo-10H accelerator achieves performance of up to 40 TOPS in INT4 calculations, enabling complex generative AI tasks and advanced image processing at the edge of the network. In practice, this enables local execution of camera image analysis, object recognition, speech processing, translation, or scene analysis without the need to upload data to the cloud. Integration with Raspberry Pi OS ensures automatic accelerator detection and native support in rpicam-apps, which utilize the module to accelerate compatible image processing steps.

Compliant with the HAT+ specification, the module retains the mechanics and mounting layout designed for the Raspberry Pi 5, including the ability to be installed with the Raspberry Pi Active Cooler. The manufacturer anticipates long-term production availability, which favors industrial, educational, and research and development applications where long-term platform stability is essential.
