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. Explore applications including process control, security, home automation, and robotics. The AI module is a 13 tera-operations per second (TOPS) neural network inference accelerator built around the Hailo-8L chip. The module uses the M.2 2242 form factor, and comes pre-installed in the M.2 HAT+, to which it connects through an M key edge connector. The M.2 HAT+ communicates between the AI module’s M.2 interface and the Raspberry Pi 5’s PCIe 2.0 interface. 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 Neural Processing Unit (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. Features Hailo 8L accelerator with up to 13 TOPS (Trillions of Operations Per Second) inferencing performance. Conforms to Raspberry Pi HAT+ specification. Supplied pre-assembled on a Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ so ready out of the box to use with a Raspberry Pi 5. Fully integrated into Raspberry Pi’s camera software stack. Supplied with a 16mm stacking header and spacers/screws to enable the M.2 HAT+ to be fitted to a Raspberry Pi 5 with the Active Cooler in place. Thermal pad pre-fitted between module and HAT+ spreads heat across components, improving performance Includes Hailo AI module containing a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+, to connect the AI module to your Raspberry Pi 5 Thermal pad pre-fitted between the module and the M.2 HAT+ Mounting hardware kit 16mm stacking GPIO header Resources Raspberry Pi AI Kit product brief Raspberry Pi AI Kit documentation Hailo AI module product page M.2 HAT+ documentation Bundles [ RPi 5 Active Cooler Set + AI Kit ] :- Raspberry Pi 5 (4GB/8GB/16GB RAM)- Raspberry Pi 5 Official 27W USB-C Power Supply UK White- SanDisk Ultra 32GB MicroSD Card- 1m Micro HDMI to Standard HDMI Cable- Raspberry Pi 5 Official Active Cooler- Raspberry Pi AI Kit- USB 2.0 MicroSD Card Reader/Writer (Free!)
