The Raspberry Pi AI Kit combines the M.2-format Hailo 8L AI accelerator with the Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ to deliver outstanding inferencing performance on the Raspberry Pi 5. This kit includes a 13 TOPS (tera-operations per second) neural network inference accelerator powered by the Hailo-8L chip. The AI module features the M.2 2242 form factor and is pre-installed in the M.2 HAT+, which connects via an M key edge connector. The M.2 HAT+ facilitates communication between the AI module’s M.2 interface and the Raspberry Pi 5’s PCIe 2.0 interface.
When the Raspberry Pi 5 is running the latest Raspberry Pi OS image, it automatically detects the Hailo module, making the NPU (Neural Processing Unit) available for AI computing tasks. The rpicam-apps camera applications included in Raspberry Pi OS natively support the AI module, utilizing the NPU for compatible post-processing tasks.
