Let's dive into the Raspberry Pi AI Hat+ 2 with 40 TOPS. I'll walk you through the initial setup process, then show you how to run a Large Language Model (LLM) on this new board. I'll be using my own project, Pillama, and Open WebUI to demonstrate. Finally, I'll reveal the performance numbers, showcasing the tokens per second generated by the CPU alone versus the AI HAT+ 2 board, so you can see the difference!
