Product description: Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2 40 TOPS - AI accelerator Hailo-10H add-on for Raspberry Pi 5
The Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2 is a next-generation add-on board fully compliant with the HAT+ specification, designed to expand the AI capabilities of your Raspberry Pi 5. Thanks to the PCIe interface and seamless integration with Raspberry Pi OS, users can instantly benefit from the Hailo-10H AI accelerator with up to 40 tera operations per second (TOPS) of INT4 inference performance. Featuring 8 GB of onboard LPDDR4X RAM, this HAT allows smooth execution of generative AI models — including large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs) — without stressing the host CPU. It’s perfect for edge AI, offline inference, and applications that require low latency and high privacy.
Compatible exclusively with Raspberry Pi 5, connected via PCIe interface
