What Hailo does

Hailo Technologies Ltd. is an Israel-based fabless semiconductor company founded in 2017 that designs AI processors purpose-built for running deep learning and generative AI workloads on edge devices. Its product portfolio spans two main lines: AI accelerators (Hailo-8 at up to 26 TOPS, Hailo-8L entry-level at 13 TOPS, and Hailo-10H generative AI accelerator at 40 TOPS INT4), and AI vision processors (Hailo-15L/M/H at 7-20 TOPS) that integrate AI ISP capabilities for camera SoC applications. The differentiator is a proprietary structure-driven dataflow architecture paired with on-chip memory, eliminating external DRAM dependency, enabling penny-sized form factors at approximately 2.5W power consumption, and supporting CNNs, transformers, LLMs, VLMs, and vision models from TensorFlow, PyTorch, and ONNX frameworks. Software stack includes the Dataflow Compiler, HailoRT runtime, Model Zoo, and Model Explorer tools.

Hailo serves automotive (ADAS, autonomous driving, GenAI cockpit assistants), security (smart cameras, X-ray screening, access control), industrial automation (AOI, robotics), retail (POS, checkout), personal computing (on-device generative AI via Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2 and ASUS UGen300), and robotics/drones. The company monetizes primarily through hardware unit sales of AI accelerators and vision processors in M.2, PCIe, mPCIe, and USB form factors, supplemented by a software suite enabling deployment. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales, OEM partnerships (Raspberry Pi, ASUS, Advantech, Vicon, Husqvarna, Fujitsu, Evolv, Elo), global distributors, and developer self-serve channels, with automotive-grade certifications (AEC-Q100 Grade 2, ISO 26262 ASIL-B) opening automotive Tier 1 and OEM design-in opportunities.

The company has raised approximately $343 million+ across multiple funding rounds, employs 101-250 staff across 7 global offices (Tel Aviv HQ; Munich EU HQ; Tokyo; Chicago; Taipei; Seoul; Shenzhen), and is pursuing an IPO via SPAC merger as of April 2026 at a reduced valuation of under $500 million, down from a $1.2 billion peak. The company implemented 10% workforce reductions and a $9 million emergency loan in early 2026 to manage liquidity ahead of the listing, while continuing to ship Hailo-10H at volume and launch new products including Hailo-15L for mass-market cameras and GenAI automotive cockpit assistants.

Core offering

Hailo designs and sells proprietary edge AI processors (chips and accelerator modules) that enable high-performance deep learning inference on edge devices without cloud dependency. Its product lines include the Hailo-8 and Hailo-10H AI accelerators (delivering 13 to 208 TOPS in M.2, PCIe, and mPCIe form factors) and the Hailo-15 AI vision processors (camera SoCs with AI ISP for smart cameras), supported by a full software stack including the Dataflow Compiler, HailoRT runtime, and pre-optimized Model Zoo.

Product overview

Hailo offers a comprehensive portfolio of edge AI processors organized into two main product lines: AI Accelerators (Hailo-8 and Hailo-10H families) and AI Vision Processors (Hailo-15 family). The Hailo-8 AI Accelerator delivers up to 26 TOPS with fully integrated on-chip memory (no external DRAM required), while the Hailo-10H, Hailo's generative AI accelerator, provides 40 TOPS for running LLMs and VLMs entirely on-device. The Hailo-15 Vision Processor family (Hailo-15L, 15M, 15H) integrates AI ISP capabilities with video analytics in a camera-friendly power envelope ranging from 7 to 20 TOPS. Supporting these processors is a robust software ecosystem including the Hailo AI Software Suite with Dataflow Compiler, HailoRT runtime, Model Zoo, and specialized tools (Model Explorer Vision, Model Explorer GenAI). The processors are available in multiple form factors including M.2 modules, PCIe cards, and mini PCIe modules for flexible system integration. Hailo-8 and Hailo-10H serve as co-processors that integrate with edge platforms, while Hailo-15 functions as a complete camera SoC. The portfolio targets applications across smart cities, automotive (ADAS and autonomous driving), security, industrial automation, retail, and personal computing (generative AI on edge devices).
