Raspberry Pi ☛ Raspberry Pi AI Camera on sale now at $70
The AI Kit is an awesomely powerful piece of hardware, capable of performing thirteen trillion operations per second. But it is only compatible with Raspberry Pi 5, and requires a separate camera module to capture visual data. We are very excited therefore to announce a new addition to our camera product line: the Raspberry Pi AI Camera.

The Register UK ☛ Raspberry Pi offloads AI inferencing to the camera itself
Looking for all the world like a normal camera module – if ever so slightly thicker – the Raspberry Pi AI Camera is based on Sony's IMX500 Intelligent Vision Sensor, which combines a 12.3-megapixel CMOS image sensor with on-board inferencing.
The AI camera will add tensor metadata to still images or video, rather than requiring a separate accelerator for processing or loading up the CPU with tasks to deal with vision-based AI workloads. While recent Pi units have had relatively powerful processors compared to their predecessors, they are still comparatively weedy compared to pricier silicon – so some dedicated AI vision processing is most welcome.

OMG Ubuntu ☛ Raspberry Pi’s New $70 Hey Hi (AI) Camera Works With All Pi Models
If you’re looking to kick the tyres on some Hey Hi (AI) image processing/recognition tasks and you own an older Raspberry Pi, the new Hey Hi (AI) Camera add-on may be of interest. While the $70 Raspberry Pi Hey Hi (AI) Kit only works with a Raspberry Pi 5, the $70 Hey Hi (AI) camera works with all of the Raspberry Pi boards which boast the relevant camera connector port (spoiler: most, including the Raspberry Pi Zero and Raspberry Pi 400).
