The Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ is an add-on board with a built-in Hailo AI accelerator for Raspberry Pi 5. It provides an accessible, cost-effective, and power-efficient way to integrate high-performance AI. Explore applications including process control, security, home automation, and robotics.

The AI HAT+ is available in 13 and 26 tera-operations per second (TOPS) variants, built around the Hailo-8L and Hailo-8 neural network inference accelerators. This 13 TOPS variant capably runs neural networks for applications including object detection, semantic and instance segmentation, pose estimation, and more.

The AI HAT+ communicates using Raspberry Pi 5’s PCIe Gen 3 interface. When the host Raspberry Pi 5 is running an up-to-date Raspberry Pi OS image, it automatically detects the on-board Hailo accelerator 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.
