The Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ with Up to 26 Tops (raspberrypi.com)
27 points by sandwichsphinx 8 months ago | hide | past | favorite | 7 comments



I was really hoping there were 26 raspi hats stacked on top of each other.


Top hats at that.


Has anybody experience with this chip? Can I use this only with trained neural networks? Or can I use it for general purpose SIMD computation? Can I address the chip conveniently from Rust or C++?


While Raspberry Pi should be doing AI things this alignment with what looks like a shady defence contractor is a step too far.

If you are looking for embedded AI of this type you could try the nVidia Jetsons or other devices entirely.


slightly different price range though


> what looks like a shady defence contractor

Could you please elaborate (honest question)?


As someone who's hardware knowledge extends to "my Mac is fast enough at most things I do", could someone tell me if this would run Stable Diffusion / ComfyUI generations faster than say, a Mac Studio (ignoring all the CoreML SD stuff, just regular safetensors)?
