DESCRIPTION The Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2 is a powerful AI accelerator add-on board for Raspberry Pi 5, built around the Hailo-10H neural processing unit. Designed for makers, educators, and industry developers in Singapore and beyond, it enables real-time edge AI applications — from intelligent vision systems to IoT automation and Industry 4.0 inferencing — without relying on cloud connectivity. Delivering 40 TOPS of INT4 inferencing performance and equipped with 8GB of dedicated LPDDR4X-4267 on-board RAM, the AI HAT+ 2 can run large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs) directly on-device, leaving the host Raspberry Pi 5 CPU free for other tasks. FEATURES Powered by the Hailo-10H NPU with 40 TOPS of INT4 inferencing performance 8GB LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM dedicated on-board — offloads AI workloads from the host CPU Supports local generative AI: run LLMs and vision-language models (VLMs) on-device Connects via PCIe to Raspberry Pi 5 for high-bandwidth, low-latency data transfer Compatible exclusively with Raspberry Pi 5 Includes heatsink, PCIe flex cable, stacking GPIO header, and all mounting hardware Compact form factor: 66 mm × 56.5 mm — fits neatly atop Raspberry Pi 5 APPLICATIONS On-device large language model (LLM) and chatbot inference Real-time computer vision and object detection at the edge Vision-language model (VLM) applications without cloud dependency Smart home automation with local AI processing Industrial edge AI and Industry 4.0 quality inspection systems Educational AI research and prototyping platforms TECHNICAL DETAILS AI Accelerator: Hailo-10H NPU Performance: 40 TOPS (INT4 inferencing) On-Board RAM: 8GB LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM Host Interface: PCIe (via Raspberry Pi 5 PCIe connector) Compatible With: Raspberry Pi 5 only Board Dimensions: 66 mm × 56.5 mm SHIPPING LIST 1x Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2 (with pre-installed PCIe flex cable) 1x 16mm stacking GPIO header 1x Heatsink 4x 16mm black nylon standoffs/spacers 4x 5mm M2.5 black nylon screws 4x 8mm M2.5 black nylon screws
