Hailo

Hailo designs AI processors for edge devices, meaning chips that run deep learning models inside cameras, vehicles, robots and industrial equipment rather than in the cloud. The company is a semiconductor vendor, so what it sells is silicon and the software that goes with it. Its range covers AI accelerators in several form factors, including M.2 modules, PCIe cards and mini PCIe modules, along with AI vision processors for mass market and high end cameras. One accelerator family targets generative AI workloads on the edge. The Hailo AI Software Suite supplies a dataflow compiler, a runtime, a model zoo, example applications and model explorers for vision and generative AI, and there are camera focused packages for imaging and media. Target applications include automotive driver assistance, robotics and drones, security and intelligent transportation, industrial inspection, retail and personal computing. It is built for hardware makers, system integrators and embedded developers who need to add on device inference to a product. A developer zone, community and resource center support design work, and the company works with a network of hardware, software, design and distribution partners. Pricing is not published on the main site, which directs buyers to a shop and a product inquiry form. This is hardware rather than a software tool, so it sits awkwardly in a productivity category.
