Review: Fun kit! This won’t run LLM’s efficiently, but yolo/image recognition no problem! - Kits came very nicely packed with all required hardware. Fits like a glove on the pi 5. Work seamless with any pi camera. Works well with multiple versions of yolo. This is not designed for LLM/chat bots. Primarily different types of image recognition. The documentation is good, however one of the example yolo projects doesn’t work. I would buy again
Review: Need a larger case if using case fan - It fits exactly on the RaspPi over a cooling fan. You will however need a larger case. The regular case will not work if you have a case fan.

## Features

- Contains a neural network inference accelerator capable of 13 tera-operations per second (TOPS)
- Fully integrated into Raspberry Pi’s camera software stack
- Thermal pad pre-fitted between module and HAT+ spreads heat across components, improving performance
- Conforms to Raspberry Pi HAT+ specification
- Supplied with 16mm stacking header, spacers, and screws to enable fitting on Raspberry Pi 5 with Raspberry Pi Active Cooler in place

It fits exactly on the RaspPi over a cooling fan. You will however need a larger case. The regular case will not work if you have a case fan.

### ⭐ Not for serious projects or products.
*by J***S on July 24, 2025*

Extremely poorly designed system. All the benchmarks you're seeing on Hailo model zoo, divide those FPS by 2.5, that is the real speed of the unit. You can not program with their system like you would with a normal system like NVIDIA Orin, or on a laptop using GPU... you HAVE TO USE THEIR APPs, or nothing works. Which means you have very little control of your programs, you are constrained by their apps, and the whole system becomes brittle. You can not just install their libraries and use it, you have to download their entire file structure, and then use their own venv environment to get anything to work, therefore you will have to migrate your entire project into their setup rather than the other way around. AVOID at all cost. Better to spend a few extra dollars and buy a different system. There is a reason why you don't see this being used in the industry. I am in the process of returning mine, and purchasing Orin Nano. This is just not worth the hassle, between the price of RPI5 + heatsinks/fan + Hailo, you might as well throw in a few extra dollars and get the Orin.
