Lýsing Overview The Raspberry Pi AI Kit is still in production, but new customers should instead purchase the Raspberry Pi AI HAT . 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 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. Specification Contains a neural network inference accelerator capable of 13 tera-operations per second (TOPS) 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 Supplied with 16mm stacking header, spacers, and screws to enable fitting on Raspberry Pi 5 with Raspberry Pi Active Cooler in place
