Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2 review – A 40 TOPS AI accelerator tested with Computer Vision, LLM, and VLM workloads

Raspberry Pi sent me a sample of their AI HAT+ 2 generative AI accelerator based on Hailo-10H for review. The 40 TOPS AI accelerator is advertised as being suitable for LLMs (Large Language Models) and VLM (Vision Language Models), while delivering about the same performance as the first-generation AI HAT+ (Hailo-8) for AI vision/computer vision…

The Raspberry Pi Get Its Very Own Generative AI-enabling Hardware Expansion

So you bought a Raspberry Pi. Then you used the former children’s project board to create a home server, or perhaps a functional robot. What’s next? Adding artificial intelligence, obviously. The company behind the modular board has announced the Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2, an add-on that “delivers 40 TOPS (INT4) of inferencing performance” and…

Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2 Lets You Run LLMs Locally

A new version of the Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ has been released with enough power to run popular generative AI (GenAI) models, including Qwen and DeepSeek. The first generation Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ add-ons were designed for on-device acceleration of vision-based neural network models, but weren’t powerful enough to run more generalised large-language models (LLMs)…

Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2 targets generative AI (LLM/VLM) with Hailo-10H accelerator

The Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2 is an add-on board based on the 40 TOPS Hailo-10H AI accelerator with 8GB of dedicated on-board RAM that brings generative AI capability to Raspberry Pi 5. While it delivers similar computer vision performance as the first-generation Hailo-8-based Raspberry Pi AI HAT+, the AI HAT+ 2 also adds support…
