Hailo

About

Hailo is a pioneering Israeli semiconductor company specializing in high-performance edge AI processors designed for real-time applications across automotive, smart city, industrial, and retail sectors. Founded in 2017, the company has emerged as a leader in delivering energy-efficient AI acceleration at the edge, enabling devices to perform complex deep learning tasks locally without relying on cloud connectivity. Hailo's flagship product, the Hailo-8 AI processor, delivers up to 26 tera-operations per second (TOPS) while consuming minimal power, making it ideal for battery-powered and embedded systems. The architecture employs a novel dataflow approach that optimizes neural network execution by restructuring networks to match hardware capabilities, achieving superior performance-per-watt ratios compared to traditional GPU and CPU-based solutions. The company's newer Hailo-15 vision processor extends these capabilities specifically for automotive applications, supporting advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving with multiple camera inputs and sensor fusion. Hailo's technology addresses critical challenges in edge AI deployment, including latency reduction, privacy preservation through on-device processing, bandwidth optimization, and operational cost reduction. The processors support all major deep learning frameworks including TensorFlow, PyTorch, ONNX, and Keras, with a comprehensive software development kit that simplifies model deployment. With over $200 million in funding and strategic partnerships with major automotive OEMs, camera manufacturers, and system integrators worldwide, Hailo is enabling the next generation of intelligent edge devices across industries, from smart cameras and robotics to healthcare devices and industrial automation systems.
