IMPORTANT MODEL INFORMATION
This listing is for the original Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 26 TOPS featuring the Hailo-8 accelerator.
This is NOT:
• The 13 TOPS Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ using the Hailo-8L
• The newer Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2
• A generic third-party Hailo-8 M.2 accelerator
The 26 TOPS AI HAT+ is specifically designed as an AI inference accelerator for Raspberry Pi 5.
PLEASE NOTE REGARDING AI/LLM USE
The original Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 26 TOPS is primarily designed for neural-network inference and edge-AI workloads such as computer vision.
It should not be confused with a general-purpose GPU or a dedicated accelerator for running large language models.
The newer Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2 is a different product designed with additional capabilities for generative-AI workloads.
