**Hardware Acceleration**: For more complex and computationally intensive AI tasks, the Raspberry Pi can be augmented with dedicated hardware.

The Raspberry Pi AI Kit, for example, bundles a Hailo AI acceleration module with a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) that can perform up to 13 tera-operations per second (TOPS). This significantly boosts performance and efficiency, allowing for more advanced applications like: - **Real-time Object and Pose Detection**: Running sophisticated computer vision models like YOLO (You Only Look Once) to track objects and human poses at high frame rates. - **Local Large Language Models (LLMs)**: The latest Raspberry Pi models, particularly the Raspberry Pi 5, are capable of running smaller LLMs locally using tools like Ollama, which allows for conversational AI without an internet connection.
