    Phoronix: Raspberry Pi AI Kit Launches For $70 For 13 TOPS AI Inference

    Raspberry Pi teamed up with Hailo to develop the Raspberry Pi AI Kit as a $70 add-on for the Raspberry Pi 5 that offers a 13 TOPS AI accelerator module...

    Pi really has lost its inexpensive tinkerer roots. Now doing the AI thing to make the IPO sing and get them benjamin's rolling. Don't think I'll buy a pi device again.

      Just buy something else if the price gets under your skin (BTW used Pi 1 and Pi 2 should be reasonable on ebay). I'm quite happy with the way the Pi's are being supported. The added support of this AI board is just one example. They rolled support into the pi kernel last week and low and behold the device is shipping this week. They continue forging ahead with latest kernel versions, while the cheap Chinese boards usually start off with an old kernel and that's where it stays.

        It's not for me, I don't want AI chips on my Linux machines !!

          They're just another tool in the toolchest. Maybe you don't need them, but I think plenty do. Jeff Geerling just release a youtube video demoing some of the interesting things he's done so far with this AI accelerator.

            I'm running Ollama/llama3 on my Ryzen notebook. For the important questions like what's the difference between Liverwurst and Braunschweiger. Most often it gives me pretty good answers.

              Maybe not inexpensive, but I would say this is actually pretty good for the sake of tinkerers. I'm sure there are hobbyist robot projects that could take advantage of something like PyTorch.

                It doesn't get under my skin, the hardware is not price competitive which should be a dealbreaker but it appears it isn't. Esp32 eats their lunch for many applications at the low end, the N100 does the same at the high end, and contemporary SBC competitors tend to be cheaper with more features. They're lucky they've built up so many diehard fans.

                  I agree on with the skeptical view. It is so expensive, yet still limited in design and features. I would agree if I would get more when paying more. Damn, put the PCB solder pads for those wishing to put on additional RAM, I can solder it on myself, put pads for emmc IC, those are most same, make the default PCB more modular, but nope... they went pop. Even the PCIe FPC is done in a weird manner and place.

                    Sorry to burst your safe space but if your computer has a CPU and a GPU you already have AI chips in your Linux machine. And now with every CPU SoC or SoP ( system on package ) having an NPU your next Linux machine will have AI chips.
