**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-ai-hat-plus-2.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-ai-hat-plus-2.html.md))

A powerful and versatile machine learning HAT for the Pi 5 - run LLMs, VLMs and conventional vision models on low-power, edge hardware.

> ⚠ There's a limit of 1 per customer until more stock arrives

## Pricing

- **Price:** $289.00 (inc GST) — $262.73 AUD, exc GST

## Availability & dispatch

- In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney).
- We can dispatch 18 today; more stock is typically available with a 5–11 day lead time.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE10475:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE10475:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Building on the success of the original AI HAT, the AI HAT+ 2 delivers next‑generation artificial‑intelligence performance to the [Raspberry Pi 5](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-5-boards-kits-and-accessories.html). Powered by the Hailo 10H neural‑network accelerator and equipped with 8 GB of high‑speed LPDDR4X‑4267 SDRAM, this board brings powerful LLM and VLM capabilities, along with the previous models' machine vision capabilities to the edge - perfect for offline, local AI workloads or robotics projects.

### Key Features

- Hailo 10H accelerator – up to **40 TOPS @ INT‑4** and **20 TOPS @ INT‑8**
- On‑board **8 GB LPDDR4X‑4267 SDRAM** for loading larger models directly on the HAT
- Runs large language models (LLMs) such as QWEN and Llama 3 B, and vision models (YOLO, etc.) with the same performance as the [26 TOPS HAT+](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-ai-hat-26-tops-for-raspberry-pi-5.html)
- Optimised for power‑efficient edge AI – ideal for local, offline inference
- Supports both LLMs and VLMs, enabling chat‑GPT‑style interactions, home‑automation decision‑making, robotics, and more
- Future‑proof: updates to models will keep the HAT useful into the future
- Uses the PCIe connector – **only compatible with Raspberry Pi 5**
 
### Compatibility &amp; Installation

- Works with an active cooler mounted to the Pi 5 SBC
- Designed to fit the [Official Raspberry Pi 5 Case](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-5-case-red-white-official.html) (Remove the in-built fan and top plate)
- PCIe connection cable included for a clean, low‑profile installation

The AI HAT+ 2 delivers up to **40 TOPS (INT‑4)** and **20 TOPS (INT‑8)**, matching the vision‑model performance of the 26 TOPS HAT+ while adding LLM capability. This makes it an ideal platform for:

- Running sophisticated language models for chat‑bot or decision‑support applications
- Processing visual data with YOLO‑style detection and other computer‑vision pipelines
- Deploying AI in resource‑constrained environments where power and space are limited
 
### Product Contents

- AI HAT+ 2 board
- Heatsink for the chipset
- Stacking header
- PCIe connection cable
- Standoffs for secure mounting
 
### Technical Specifications

- Neural‑network accelerator: **Hailo 10H**
- Memory: **8 GB LPDDR4X‑4267 SDRAM**
- Interface: PCIe (Raspberry Pi 5 only)
