The Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ is an add-on board with a built-in Hailo AI accelerator for Raspberry Pi 5.
Installed on a Raspberry Pi 5, the AI HAT+ allows you to rapidly build complex AI vision applications, running in real time, with low latency and low power requirements. State-of-the-art neural networks for object detection, semantic and instance segmentation, pose estimation, and facial landmarking (to name just a few) run entirely on the Hailo co-processor, leaving the Raspberry Pi 5 CPU free to perform other tasks.
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.

About AI HAT+
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. The 13
TOPS variant capably runs neural networks for applications including object detection, semantic and instance segmentation, pose estimation, and more. The 26 TOPS variant can handle larger networks, can run them more quickly, and can more effectively run multiple networks simultaneously.
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.
