Raspberry Pi's new AI HAT adds 8GB of RAM for local LLMs
SMRTR summary
Raspberry Pi launched the $130 AI HAT+ 2 featuring a Hailo 10H chip with 8GB RAM designed to run local AI models without consuming the Pi's system resources. However, testing revealed the Pi 5's CPU actually outperforms the HAT's NPU for most tasks, with the HAT's 3W power limit restricting performance compared to the Pi's 10W capability, making it primarily useful only for niche power-constrained applications.
