Raspberry Pi AI HAT+

The Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ is an add-on board featuring an integrated Hailo AI accelerator. It offers an accessible, cost-effective, and power efficient way to integrate high performance AI. It is ideal for applications including process control, security, home automation, and robotics.

Available in 13 and 26 tera-operations per second (TOPS) versions, the AI HAT+ is powered by Hailo-8L or Hailo-8 neural network inference accelerators. The 13 TOPS version efficiently handles neural networks for tasks like object detection, semantic and instance segmentation, and pose estimation.

The 26 TOPS version supports larger networks, faster processing, and better multitasking capabilities for running multiple networks simultaneously.

The AI HAT+ connects via the Raspberry Pi 5's PCIe Gen 3 interface. Once the Raspberry Pi 5 is running the latest Raspberry Pi OS, it automatically detects the onboard Hailo accelerator, making the NPU ready for AI computing tasks. Additionally, the rpicam-apps camera applications in Raspberry Pi OS natively support the AI module, utilizing the NPU for compatible post-processing tasks.

Compatible with Raspberry Pi 5 only (sold separately, except for the Pi 5 8GB Quick-Start AI Kit)
