🔍 Introducing Raspberry Pi’s AI HAT+ 2: A Game Changer for Niche Applications?
Raspberry Pi has launched the AI HAT+ 2 at an accessible $130. This device is powered by the Hailo 10H chip and comes with 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM.
Key Features:
- Enhanced NPU Performance: Achieves 40 TOPS of INT8 for LLMs and 26 TOPS INT4 in machine vision.
- Stand-Alone Functionality: Frees up the Pi’s CPU and RAM for additional tasks, making it more efficient than prior models.
- Downsides:
- Limited upgrade options.
- Not a one-size-fits-all solution; better suited for development purposes rather than end-users.
Though there are nuances in performance compared to the Pi’s CPU, the AI HAT+ 2 excels in vision processing tasks. However, critics suggest that existing solutions might still be more effective.
