Hailo

Picture a smart security camera that can describe what it sees in plain language, or a vehicle dashboard that responds to natural speech without any cellular connection. Hailo makes these scenarios possible with purpose-built edge AI processors that run complex neural networks directly on compact hardware. The Hailo-10H, released commercially in July 2025, is the first discrete edge AI accelerator with native support for large language models and vision-language models — achieving first-token latency under one second and sustaining over 10 tokens per second on 2-billion parameter models, all at a typical power draw of just 2.5W. The fundamental problem with cloud-dependent AI inference is threefold: latency, privacy, and cost. Every inference round-trip to a cloud GPU adds tens to hundreds of milliseconds, exposes personally identifiable data to network transit, and incurs per-query billing that scales poorly for always-on applications. The Hailo-10H addresses all three simultaneously by processing data locally. Its M.2 form factor (Key M, 2242/2280) plugs into existing PCIe Gen-3 x4 slots on x86 or ARM hosts, supporting TensorFlow, PyTorch, ONNX, and Keras without requiring a platform migration. For video workloads, it handles YOLOv11m object detection on real-time 4K streams at the same 2.5W power envelope. For automotive programs, it carries AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification, targeting 2026 production start in cockpit displays and driver monitoring units. Hailo is not the right choice for teams running large-scale cloud training jobs or models larger than a few billion parameters — the Hailo-10H is designed for inference at the edge, not for research-scale model training, and its 8GB LPDDR4 on-module memory sets a practical ceiling on the model sizes it can serve without quantization.

Hailo is an edge AI chipmaker whose Hailo-10H accelerator runs LLMs, VLMs, and 4K video analytics on-device at 2.5W — without cloud connectivity or GPU overhead.

Hailo is widely used by professionals, developers, marketers, and creators to enhance their daily work and improve efficiency.

Hailo is an AI Tool that designs edge AI processors for real-time on-device inference across automotive, security, retail, and industrial applications. Its second-generation Hailo-10H accelerator, commercially available since July 2025, extends the platform beyond vision AI into generative inference — enabling LLMs and VLMs to run locally on compact hardware. With over 10,000 active developers monthly and $564M raised across nine funding rounds, Hailo is one of the most established names in the edge AI chip market. Its AEC-Q100 automotive qualification positions it directly for 2026 vehicle production programs.

It is suitable for beginners as well as professionals who want to streamline their workflow and save time using advanced AI capabilities.
