Raspberry Pi jumps onboard the AI train, and your ticket costs 70

"AI" applications are so specialized that they need dedicated neural processing units to work. Apparently, anyway -- what benefits these NPUs can actually offer for typical users isn't exactly clear. The Raspberry Pi AI Kit comes with a Hailo-8L accelerator module with an M.2 interface, plus the PCIe 3.0 breakout board needed to use it and install it onto a Pi 5. The module can handle 13 teraflops of data per second over an 8Gbps connection. That's some great alphabet soup, but what can this thing actually do?
