    Shey should have linked the actual chip somewhere prominently:

    But yeah, I can already run object detecton at 1 FPS. Or more if it’s a tiny model. And I’d be interested in the proper specs. Does it have memory on board? Or does the RasPi do all the heavy lifting anyways? What kind of models fit? Voice recognition, … ?
