Love my raspberry pi but need something with more power for running ai models locally. What are people using these days? Looking at jetson nano but they seem hard to find in stock. Budget is around $150-200. Needs to handle tensorflow lite models and have good gpio support for sensors.

Orange Pi 5 is pretty good if you can't find a jetson. It's got an NPU that helps with AI inference. Also consider the Radxa Rock 5B - similar specs but sometimes easier to find. Both have good community support. If you need serious AI power though, might be worth waiting for jetson stock or looking at used ones on ebay. The ecosystem is just better.

Thanks! Will check out the orange pi 5. Didnt know it had an NPU, that could be perfect for my usecase.
