## AI overview

This article explains what Raspberry Pi devices can and cannot do with AI. They can run applications such as object detection, computer vision projects, lightweight AI agents, and some small language models, but limited computing power makes most modern LLMs slow or impractical locally. AI HAT and AI Camera products can improve computer vision workloads but do little for LLM execution.

## Source excerpt

AI (artificial intelligence) is a buzzword that has been thrown around a lot these days, and the Raspberry Pi ecosystem is no exception. New use cases have been tested on it, and new products have even been released to accompany this phenomenon. So, what can your Raspberry Pi actually do with AI? A Raspberry Pi...
