Although the smartphones introduced at MWC 2024 are in the spotlight, Qualcomm stands out at the congress with its investments in ai The company, which has significant achievements in both mobile processor and mobile modem, does not want to be left behind in artificial intelligence. In this sense, Qualcomm introduced the AI Hub tool for artificial intelligence applications that will run on the smartphone. But what opportunities will Qualcomm offer for ai developers with this AI Hub?
Ai comes to smartphones with Qualcomm AI Hub
Today, Ai applications generally run on a large server. However, companies developing both desktop and mobile processors are looking for a way to move some of this load to devices. Qualcomm took an important step in this sense at MWC 2024.
Qualcomm AI Hub, as it is called, has ai supported tools for application developers. The aim here is to increase the number of AI applications based on smartphones. Qualcomm AI Hub has a library of over 75 productive artificial intelligence models that can be used by artificial intelligence application developers. The tech giant added that the AI tools in this library will continuously increase.
The library includes important tools such as Whisper, OpenAI’s automatic speech recognition (ASR) system, and Stability AI’s text-to-image model Stable DIffusion. Thus, developers will have the opportunity to access all these tools and develop their applications accordingly thanks to Qualcomm AI Hub.
According to the latest information, the giant processor manufacturer Qualcomm has decided to increase its investments in artificial intelligence.
Developers also have the right to download and try apps from this library on their smartphones with Qualcomm processors. In addition, AI Hub also applies an optimization according to the hardware of the Qualcomm powered device being tested. Thus, these artificial intelligence applications perform better according to the hardware level of the smartphone.
Accordingly, Qualcomm has also optimized the applications in the library to use GPU, CPU and NPU cores at peak performance. According to the company’s statement, this optimization increases the AI output of supported smartphones up to four times.
