Waveshare Hailo-8 M.2 AI Accelerator Module with PCIe To M.2 Adapter Board for Raspberry Pi 5, Based On The 26TOPS Hailo-8 AI Processor, Compatible with Linux/Windows Systems

Performance really as good as the website says

Not exactly what I thought but still very interesting and there still a lot to learn It is well made and from reliable manufacture

It can be difficult to source these modules so this is a great way to get one. I installed mine on my Docker server running Ubuntu on a late-generation Intel CPU, and it drastically accelerated and increased the accuracy of workflows like speech-to-text, visual object recognition, and text-to-speech. Driver install, firmware updates, and software configuration is not for the novice, but otherwise this product has been able to process intensive object detection using XL vision models from multiple 4K cameras, and process speech synthesis and decomposition, all at the same time. I can't recommend it enough.

Failing to detect. No solutions found online. Tried trouble shooting directly through hailo developer zone installation instructions.

I purchased this for just the Hailo module. It worked perfectly in an M.2 NVME slot when passed through to a VM with proxmox (note you do have to enable custom VM settings to get it wokring). I have kept the M2 pi hat has i plan to use that with my PI for a nvme drive.
