Sixfab has launched the AI HAT+ for Raspberry Pi 5, a PCIe HAT+ based on the DEEPX DX-M1 AI accelerator, which we also found in the DEEPX DX-AIPlayer, Mini DX-M1 SoM, and ALPON X5.Unlike the M.2 module used in the ALPON X5, the AI HAT+ has the accelerator soldered directly to the board. It connects to the Pi 5 via the PCIe FFC cable and draws power from the 40-pin header. The board is also available in 13 TOPS and 25 TOPS versions and is designed to run vision AI tasks such as object detection and segmentation locally on the Pi 5.Sixfab AI HAT+ specifications:
