Official Raspberry Pi AI HAT+, Build-in Hailo-8 AI Accelerator To Quickly Build A Wide Range Of AI-powered Applications, Options for 13 TOPS / 26 TOPS

TheRaspberry Pi AI HAT+ is an add-on board with a built-in Hailo AI accelerator designed for Raspberry Pi 5. It provides an accessible, cost-effective, and power-efficient way to integrate high-performance AI. It's suited to everything from entry-level applications to more complex neural processing, with the ability to process multiple concurrent models and AI tasks. Explore applications including process control, security, home automation, and robotics.

The AI HAT+ is available in 13 or 26 TOPS variants, built around the Hailo-8L and Hailo-8 neural network inference accelerators. The 13 TOPS variant capably runs neural networks for applications including object detection, semantic and instance segmentation, pose estimation, and more. The 26 TOPS variant can handle larger networks, can run them more quickly, and can more effectively run multiple networks simultaneously.

The AI HAT+ communicates using Raspberry Pi 5's PCIe Gen 3 interface. It automatically detects the onboard Hailo accelerator and makes the NPU available for AI computing tasks. The built-in rpicam-apps camera applications in Raspberry Pi OS natively support the AI module, automatically using the NPU to run compatible post-processing tasks.

Key features include:

• Hailo-8 or Hailo-8L accelerator offering 26 TOPS or 13 TOPS inferencing performance respectively
• Fully integrated into Raspberry Pi's camera software stack
• Conforms to Raspberry Pi HAT+ specification
• Comes with 16mm stacking header, spacers, and screws to enable fitting on Raspberry Pi 5 with Raspberry Pi Active Cooler in place
• Operating temperature: 0℃ ~ 50℃ (ambient)
