Hailo-8 AI Processor

Delivering data center class performance to edge devices

The Hailo-8 Family of Edge AI processors delivers data center-class AI performance in a compact, power-efficient form factor, enabling intelligent devices to perform real-time deep learning inference directly at the edge. With up to 26 TOPS of AI compute while consuming as little as 2.5 W, the Hailo-8 family is ideal for embedded vision, industrial automation, robotics, smart cities, intelligent transportation, retail analytics and security applications that demand high-performance AI with low latency. Built on Hailo's patented dataflow architecture, the Hailo-8 family is uniquely designed to maximize neural network efficiency without relying on external DRAM. By integrating all required memory directly on the processor, it simplifies hardware design, reduces system cost and supply chain risk, and delivers reliable, high-bandwidth AI processing. The scalable architecture also supports multi-stream and multi-model inference, as well as multiple Hailo-8 devices for higher-performance applications.

Available in a range of deployment options, including Hailo-8, Hailo-8L and Hailo-8R Series, the portfolio offers flexibility for rapid integration into commercial, industrial and automotive platforms. Supported by the comprehensive Hailo AI Software Suite with TensorFlow, PyTorch, ONNX and other leading AI frameworks, developers can efficiently optimize, deploy and scale AI applications from prototype to production.
