Details
Designed for Raspberry Pi 5
The Raspberry Pi AI Kit bundles the Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ with a Hailo AI acceleration module for use with Raspberry Pi 5, provides an accessible, cost-effective, and power-efficient way to integrate high-performance AI, suitable for applications including process control, security, home automation, and robotics.

- Contains a neural network inference accelerator capable of 13 tera-operations per second (TOPS), which is 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
- 0℃ ~ 50℃ ambient operating temperature
The AI module is a 13 TOPS neural network inference accelerator built around the Hailo-8L chip. The module uses the M.2 2242 form factor, and communicates with the Raspberry Pi 5 by accessing to the Raspberry PI M.2 HAT+.
When the host Raspberry Pi 5 is running an up-to-date Raspberry Pi OS image, it automatically detects the Hailo module 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.
