Raspberry Pi partners with Hailo for its AI extension kit | TechCrunch

Jun 04, 2024 - techcrunch.com
Raspberry Pi has released the AI Kit, a $70 extension kit for the Raspberry Pi 5, which includes a neural network inference accelerator for local inferencing. The kit uses the company's HAT+ extension card, which adds an M.2 slot, and has partnered with AI chip startup Hailo to use their Hailo-8L accelerator module. The result is a Raspberry Pi 5 with 13 tera-operations per second of inferencing performance, which is cost-effective and works with the Raspberry Pi’s default 27W power supply.

On the software side, the latest Raspberry Pi OS automatically detects the Hailo module, making the neural processing unit available for the OS and applications. Raspberry Pi has also updated its camera applications to support neural network inferencing. The Hailo chip can be used for non-camera use cases as well, and the company is looking forward to seeing new use cases from the Raspberry Pi community.

Key takeaways:

  • Raspberry Pi 5 has released a $70 AI Kit extension with a neural network inference accelerator for local inferencing, utilizing its HAT+ extension card.
  • The company has partnered with AI chip startup Hailo, using their Hailo-8L accelerator module for the AI Kit.
  • The Raspberry Pi 5 with the AI Kit provides 13 tera-operations per second (TOPS) of inferencing performance, which is cost-effective and works with the Raspberry Pi’s default 27W power supply.
  • The latest Raspberry Pi OS automatically detects the Hailo module and the company has updated its suite of camera applications to support neural network inferencing, enabling a range of AI applications from object detection to pose estimation.
