    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Plus, the Hailo-8L has remarkably low power consumption, Raspberry Pi’s CTO Avi Baum told The Register.

    Relying on a separate accelerator rather than an integrated NPU is an intentional design choice, Raspberry Pi CEO Eben Upton told The Register.

    Upton observed that including the Hailo-8L or some other accelerator on the Raspberry Pi 5s main board wouldn’t have been ideal, as it would have made it more expensive.

    By offering the AI Kit, users can still buy the Raspberry Pi 5 for a lower price, and add the Hailo-8L if they are keen on exploring machine learning.

    The modular approach also meant rapid development: Upton revealed the AI add-on moved from concept to final product in just six months.

    Although the AI Kit represents a big performance leap for the Raspberry Pi 5, the single-board machines already have history in the field.
