ASUS UGen300 USB AI accelerator features a 40 TOPS Hailo-10H AI processor and 8GB of LPDDR4 memory to support large language models (LLMs), vision language models (VLMs), and AI vision workloads while consuming less than 2.5 Watts. ASUS UGen300 USB AI accelerator (UGen300-USB-8G) specifications:AI accelerator – Hailo Hailo-10H delivering up to 40 TOPS (INT4) or 20 TOPS (INT8) inferencing performanceMemory – 8GB LPDDR4 @ 4266 MT/sHost interface – USB 3.1 Gen2 (10 Gbps) Type-C portPower Supply – 5V via USB-C portPower Consumption – 2.5 Watts (typical)Dimensions – 105 x 50 x 18 mmWeight – 145 gramsASUS says the USB AI accelerator works with Windows, Linux, and Android operating systems running on x86 or Arm hosts. It supports both vision and GenAI models, including 150+ pre-trained models, using AI frameworks such as Keras, TensorFlow, TensorFlowLite, PyTorch, and ONNX. However, it will accelerate AI vision workloads and may also help improve performance somewhat with VLMs. ASUS introduced the UGen300 USB AI accelerator several months ago, but it’s only been publicly available for sale recently, and the company offers the USB adapter for $299.99 on its online store or on Newegg.
