Hailo

Hailo is a dedicated processor for edge AI provided by Hailo Technologies. It offers high power efficiency (TOPS/W) and is suitable for mass production of inspection AI devices such as visual inspection systems.

Platform AI Performance (TOPS) Power Efficiency (TOPS/W) Form Factor
Hailo-8 26 TOPS (INT8) ≈5–10 TOPS/W Dedicated AI accelerator (external CPU connection)
NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX 21 TOPS (INT8) ≈1.4–2.1 TOPS/W Integrated SoM (CPU + GPU + NPU)
NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier 30-32 TOPS (INT8) ≈1.4–2.1 TOPS/W Integrated SoM (CPU + GPU + NPU)

Hailo AI Software Suite

Installation of Hailo AI Software Suite

Hailo provides a software suite for development and operation (Hailo AI Software Suite). Use this software suite to build development and inference environments.

Main Software Included in Hailo AI Software Suite

ModelZoo (Linux) Software that contains pre-built models and datasets
Dataflow Compiler (Linux) Software that converts prepared models into Hailo-specific format
HailoRT (Windows/Linux) Inference platform for running models
TAPPAS (Linux) Demo tool for Ubuntu using GStreamer

Building the Inference Environment

Install HailoRT from the Hailo AI Software Suite on the target device. Supported OS: Windows or Ubuntu

We offer an evaluation kit with Windows and HailoRT pre-installed.

The Hailo-8 evaluation kit (BX-T310 + Hailo-8 / BX-M4600 + Hailo-8) comes with Windows 11 IoT Enterprise and Hailo-8 pre-installed. It can be used immediately as an inference environment. Please contact us first.
