THE ESSENTIALS
  • The add-on pairs a Hailo-10H accelerator with 8GB of memory for Raspberry Pi 5.
  • The original source is linked below. Announced outcomes are distinguished from demonstrated results.

The hardware

Raspberry Pi announced the AI HAT+ 2 on 15 January 2026. The board combines a Hailo-10H accelerator with 8GB of dedicated memory and a stated 40-TOPS INT4 rating.

The use case

The company describes support for local generative-AI and vision-language workloads. Hardware compatibility, model support and the intended task matter more than comparing a TOPS number in isolation.
