Built-in: do you even need an add-on?
Its Radeon 890M (RDNA3.5) iGPU transcodes about 5 concurrent 4K streams (Plex/Jellyfin). The iGPU handles transcode, but Frigate detection is smoother with an add-on (Coral/Hailo).
Local LLM: it can allocate up to 48GB of unified memory as graphics memory, so it runs models up to ~70B (Q4) with no add-in card. Throughput is lower than a discrete GPU of the same size, but this is how you fit the biggest models on a mini-PC.

Platform support
- Proxmox VE: supported - install: easy
Add-on accelerators that fit this box
- Google Coral USB Accelerator - USB - fits any box with a spare port. (~5 Frigate cameras)
- Hailo Hailo-8L (M.2) - Uses a spare M.2 slot (a second NVMe or the Wi-Fi slot). (~16 Frigate cameras)
- Hailo Hailo-8 (M.2) - Uses a spare M.2 slot (a second NVMe or the Wi-Fi slot). (~31 Frigate cameras)
- Google M.2 Dual Edge TPU - Uses a spare M.2 slot (a second NVMe or the Wi-Fi slot). (~10 Frigate cameras)
- Google M.2 Accelerator A+E key - Uses a spare M.2 slot (a second NVMe or the Wi-Fi slot). (~5 Frigate cameras)
- Hailo Hailo-10H (M.2) - Uses a spare M.2 slot (a second NVMe or the Wi-Fi slot). (~48 Frigate cameras)
- Google M.2 Accelerator B+M key - Uses a spare M.2 slot (a second NVMe or the Wi-Fi slot). (~5 Frigate cameras)
A discrete GPU only fits boxes with a PCIe slot (and ≤75W); most mini PCs take a USB Coral or an M.2 Hailo instead.
