Dive into the heart of technological innovation with the Raspberry Pi 5 and be amazed by its revolutionary chip that redefines the standards of artificial intelligence. How does this little technological marvel take control? Let’s discover together the incredible advancements of this device that promises to revolutionize our digital world.
A major innovation for enthusiasts and industry
The Raspberry Pi 5 has always been a favorite tool for technology enthusiasts and industry professionals. Now, with the addition of the AI Kit module, this small computer is ready to make a significant leap in the world of artificial intelligence. The inference process, essential for machine learning, allows an AI model to draw conclusions from new data, such as object or face recognition.
The integration of the HAT+ system
This revolutionary extension easily installs via the HAT+ system (“Hardware Attached on Top”). It adds a standard M.2 slot, allowing for various additional components to be connected. The AI module from Hailo, a company specialized in AI chips, plugs directly into this M.2 port, providing dedicated computing power for local inference on devices such as cars, smart cameras, robots, and now, the Raspberry Pi 5.
Impressive performance
Once connected, the AI Kit delivers a whopping 13 TOPS (13 trillion operations per second). Although this figure is lower than that of NPU (Neural Processing Units) from other manufacturers, it is more than sufficient for the tasks intended for the Raspberry Pi 5. Furthermore, this solution is much more economical than an Nvidia card and operates with a modest power consumption of only 27W.
Extensive software features
On the software side, the operating system of the Raspberry Pi automatically detects the Hailo module. This native recognition allows applications to immediately benefit from the capabilities of the AI Kit. Among its applications are object detection, situational description
