# Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2 Brings Gen AI to Raspberry Pi 5

**[omg\! ubuntu\!](https://daily.dev/sources/omgub)** · 3 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Raspberry Pi released the AI HAT+ 2, a hardware add-on featuring a Hailo-10H NPU with 40 TOPS performance and 8GB RAM, enabling Raspberry Pi 5 to run generative AI models locally. The board supports LLMs like DeepSeek-R1-Distill, Llama3.2, and Qwen2.5 variants (1-1.5 billion parameters) without cloud connectivity, offering privacy and low-latency benefits. Unlike the first-generation AI HAT+ designed for vision models, this version bridges the generative AI gap while maintaining computer vision capabilities. Priced at $130/£125, it enables on-device AI processing for hobbyists and developers seeking cloud-free AI computing.
