Launch of Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2

 

Raspberry Pi, a leader in low-cost, high-performance computing, today
announces the launch of the Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2, an add-on board for
Raspberry Pi 5, expanding the Company's on-device AI capabilities.

 

Building on the successful launch of the Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ in October 2024,
which enabled hardware-accelerated edge AI for vision-based applications using
Hailo-8 neural network accelerators, the AI HAT+ 2 broadens Raspberry Pi's AI
portfolio to support on-device generative AI workloads. This evolution enables
customers to run advanced AI applications directly on the device, reducing
reliance on the cloud while improving speed, privacy, and cost efficiency.

 

The AI HAT+ 2 is based on the Hailo-10H neural network accelerator and
includes 8GB of dedicated on-board DRAM, enabling access to larger models and
efficient acceleration of large language models, vision language models, and
other generative AI applications on Raspberry Pi 5. With few, if any, existing
solutions at a comparable price point for generative AI at the edge, the AI
HAT+ 2 opens new revenue opportunities across security, premises management,
process control, and a wide range of applications where on-device processing
addresses cost, data privacy, or resilience requirements.

 

The product also retains high performance for computer vision capability and
continues to integrate seamlessly with Raspberry Pi's camera and software
stack, making it as easy as possible for existing customers to deploy in their
designs.

 

Eben Upton, CEO of Raspberry Pi said: "The Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2 extends the
capabilities we introduced with the AI HAT+ and enables developers to run a
wider range of AI workloads, including generative models, directly on
Raspberry Pi 5. It reflects our continued focus on providing accessible,
efficient on-device compute for both vision-based and emerging AI
applications. We saw very strong demand for the initial launch of the AI HAT+,
and the investment we have made in launching a higher-performance generation
reflects the continuing customer interest in developing true edge AI
capabilities, delivering data privacy and security while eliminating the need
to subscribe to expensive cloud-based AI services."
