### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by S***6 on 12 October 2025*

It can be difficult to source these modules so this is a great way to get one. I installed mine on my Docker server running Ubuntu on a late-generation Intel CPU, and it drastically accelerated and increased the accuracy of workflows like speech-to-text, visual object recognition, and text-to-speech. Driver install, firmware updates, and software configuration is not for the novice, but otherwise this product has been able to process intensive object detection using XL vision models from multiple 4K cameras, and process speech synthesis and decomposition, all at the same time. I can't recommend it enough.
