Hailo

aid: hailo
name: Hailo
description: 'Hailo Technologies Ltd. is an Israeli fabless semiconductor company, headquartered in Tel Aviv with offices
  in the United States, Germany, Japan, Taiwan, China and South Korea, that designs AI inference accelerators (the Hailo-8,
  Hailo-8L and Hailo-10 families) and AI vision processors (the Hailo-15 SoC family) for edge devices. Its developer surface
  is not a hosted web API: it is an on-device software stack published largely on GitHub under the hailo-ai organization —
  HailoRT, a C/C++/Python runtime library plus the hailortcli command line tool and a PCIe kernel driver; the Hailo Model
  Zoo of pre-compiled HEF models; TAPPAS and hailo-apps application pipelines; and the Hailo Media Library and Hailo Imaging
  stacks for the Hailo-15 vision processor. The machine-readable contracts Hailo publishes are Protocol Buffers — a 33-RPC
  gRPC MediaLibraryService, the HailoRT hRPC and GenAI message schemes, the HEF model-file format, and a WebSocket/ZMQ analytics
  metadata scheme. Hailo also publishes a first-party Agent Skills package (hailo15-agentic-coding) of twelve skills that
  drive board connection, pipeline editing, model swapping, cross-compilation and deployment on the Hailo-15 SBC.'

  name: HailoRT
  description: 'HailoRT is Hailo''s production runtime library for the Hailo-8, Hailo-10 and Hailo-15 device families. It
    is a host-side, user-space C/C++ library with a Python binding (pyHailoRT), a hailortcli command line tool, a GStreamer
    element (hailonet) and a PCIe kernel driver. It is a local device API rather than a network API — there is no hosted HTTP
    base URL. The machine-readable contracts it publishes are Protocol Buffers definitions in the hailo-ai/hailort repository:
    the hRPC client/server request and reply scheme, the GenAI (LLM / VLM / speech / embeddings) request scheme, the HEF compiled-model
    file format, and the scheduler-monitor and tracer-profiler telemetry schemes.'

  x-base-url: none
  x-base-url-note: Deliberately no baseURL. HailoRT is a host-side library that talks to the accelerator over PCIe or USB
    through a kernel driver. There is no HTTP host to record, and repair-api-bases.py confirmed on 2026-08-22 that no source
    names one. Recorded as absent rather than guessed from the domain.

  name: Hailo Media Library Service
  description: The Hailo Media Library is the C++ media and vision stack for the Hailo-15 AI vision processor. It exposes
    a real gRPC contract — service MediaLibraryService, 33 RPCs including five server-streaming subscriptions — covering pipeline
    lifecycle (Initialize, StartPipeline, StopPipeline, Shutdown), profile and ISP configuration, frontend output streams,
    thermal throttling state, and zero-copy buffer exchange with the encoder. A companion Protocol Buffers scheme describes
    the analytics metadata frames (detections, landmarks, classifications, tracking ids) the analytics API emits over WebSocket
    and ZMQ. The service runs on the board, so there is no public internet base URL.
  humanURL: https://github.com/hailo-ai/hailo-media-library
  x-base-url: none
  x-base-url-note: Deliberately no baseURL. MediaLibraryService is a gRPC service that runs ON the Hailo-15 board and is reached
    over a local socket, with a Unix-domain-socket side-channel for DMA buffer descriptors. There is no public internet host;
    inventing one would be a fabrication.
