Unfortunately, I bought the Hailo-8L because it was promised to support Whisper. Please fulfill past promises before making new ones. Thank you!

Dear community, we truly appreciate your patience as we’ve been working on this integration. We understand the wait has been longer than expected, and we regret not sharing updates sooner. Optimizing Whisper for our accelerator has required additional fine-tuning, and we wanted to ensure we had a clear path forward before providing new information.

We are now actively making progress and remain fully committed to delivering this integration as soon as possible. While we can’t provide a specific due date yet, we promise to keep you updated along the way. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we appreciate your continued support. More details coming soon!

Thank you for the update. I also bought it because support for Wisperer was promised. I’ve waited long enough. I hope you will keep your promise and give us truthful updates on the progress.

Dear Hailo,

I’m here to support fellow community members. We are also looking forward to get this support and actually, we will cluster whole bunch of Pi’s with Hailo kits once it’s ready.

Regards.

Excellent. One of the difficult cultural changes to make is to “work in the open”.

Please consider pushing the work-in-progress to a public repository; the polished ‘pdf’-ised installation guides and support can come later.

It may not work; it may make it obvious how frequent (or otherwise) work on this project

Thank you! Keep up the good work!

I’m looking forward to this. This should make a RPI with Hailo a great edge device.

It’s nearly June!

Any further progress?

This looks really interesting but I have some projects that have to be built and tested by August so … hoping for some news!

Hey, sorry that didn’t sound very appreciative. The demo looked fantastic for something so small and off the shelf. I really hope it’s viable for my project.

Looking forward to more!
