13 TOPS AI Processing Power for Edge Computing
The Raspberry Pi AI Kit transforms your Pi 5 into a powerhouse for machine learning. Built around the Hailo-8L chip, this neural network inference accelerator delivers an impressive 13 tera-operations per second (TOPS). This allows you to run complex AI models, such as object detection, facial recognition, and pose estimation, locally and in real-time without relying on cloud processing.
Seamless PCIe 2.0 and Camera Software Integration
This kit is designed for immediate deployment. The AI module communicates directly with the Raspberry Pi 5 via the PCIe 2.0 interface using the included M.2 HAT+, ensuring high-bandwidth data transfer. Furthermore, it is fully integrated into the official Raspberry Pi camera software stack, meaning you can easily pipe video feeds directly into your AI models with minimal coding.
Pre-assembled for Optimal Thermal Performance
Heat management is critical for sustained AI performance. The Hailo module comes pre-installed on the M.2 HAT+ with a pre-fitted thermal pad that efficiently spreads heat across the components. The kit also includes a 16mm stacking header, spacers, and screws, ensuring you have the exact hardware needed to mount it securely.
Technician Tip
The included 16mm stacking header is specifically designed to allow this AI Kit to be mounted over the official Raspberry Pi Active Cooler. We highly recommend installing the Active Cooler on your Pi 5 before mounting this HAT+ to ensure your entire system remains thermally stable during heavy AI inference workloads. If you need help configuring the PCIe Gen 2.0/3.0 settings in your Pi OS, drop by Sun Cheong Computer Co. Ltd. in Sham Shui Po for practical setup advice.
