Smartcow Is Building a Raspberry Pi for AI
- hackcasual 9y agoUsing Nvidia's TX line will give this plenty of juice for doing AI tasks, but isn't really the same price class as a Raspberry PI.
- IanCal 9y agoAlways interesting to see new tech coming out, but at $1800/unit it sounds quite different from a "raspberry pi".
- SubiculumCode 9y agoI thought that surely you were wrong, but nope. Typo?
- eriknstr 9y agoI agree it's misleading to call it a Raspberry Pi equivalent at that price point. I see where they're coming from though. Since their intended customer is startups, $1800 is money that a lot of their future customers will probably not even have to think twice about spending. But they really shouldn't compare it to the rpi.

Kwok says Tera computes at 1 to 1.5 teraflops per second, with a power input of 12 volts, 5 amperes." "Smartcow uses Nvidia’s TensorRuntime Engine, on top of which it’s built its own software development kit."
