Raspberry Pi AI Kit with M.2 HAT+ and Hailo AI Module (13T)
Product Images and Video
Description
The Raspberry Pi AI Kit bundles the Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ with a Hailo AI acceleration module for use with Raspberry Pi 5. It provides an accessible, cost-effective, and power-efficient way to integrate high-performance AI.
The AI HAT+ is available in 13 and 26 tera-operations per second (TOPS) variants, built around the Hailo-8L and Hailo-8 neural network inference accelerators. This is the 13 TOPS variant. 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.
When the host Raspberry Pi 5 is running an up-to-date Raspberry Pi OS image, it automatically detects
the on-board 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.
Specifications:
- Contains a neural network inference accelerator capable of 13 tera-operations per second (TOPS)
- Fully integrated into Raspberry Pi’s camera software stack
- Thermal pad pre-fitted between module and HAT+ spreads heat across components, improving performance
- Conforms to Raspberry Pi HAT+ specification
- Supplied with 16mm stacking header, spacers, and screws to enable fitting on Raspberry Pi 5 with Raspberry Pi Active Cooler in place
