The classic limitation of the Raspberry Pi has been its processing power, making it slow for complex AI models. However, this has changed dramatically with newer models: * **Raspberry Pi 4 & 5:** Have significantly more powerful CPUs and RAM, making them much more capable. * **Raspberry Pi AI Kit:** This is a recent game-changer. It's an add-on board featuring a **Hailo-8L AI accelerator**, which gives the Pi massive performance for vision AI tasks, rivaling much more expensive systems.
