Artificial intelligence returns home: why home AI is challenging the cloud

On-premises AI setups are gaining popularity to manage AI costs and maintain control, appealing to both businesses and savvy consumers.
Raspberry Pi has evolved into an AI platform with accessories like the AI Hat+, enabling capabilities like image recognition, automation, and environmental monitoring for a low cost but requiring additional components for a complete setup.
The AI Hat+ range starting from around $70 enhances Raspberry Pi with thousands of operations per second but a full system setup can exceed 200 euros when including necessary components.
Nvidia’s Jetson Orin Nano is a higher-end, more powerful alternative, with capabilities for robotics, vision, and data processing for 67 TOPS and a price of $249, underscoring the migration of AI to local edge devices.
This trend towards local AI solutions is part of a broader movement called edge computing, indicating a shift from cloud-dependent approaches to on-device processing.
