Qualcomm CEO: AI Firms Want 100B-Parameter Models on Phones by 2028
What AI Companies Are Asking For
According to Amon, the models AI firms want would operate with personal context. They would understand what a user intends, reason through the request, and plan actions on their own.How Qualcomm Is Squeezing Big Models Into Small Devices
Qualcomm is leaning on several techniques to make the math work. One involves loading model parameters from flash storage, so the full model does not need to sit in active memory all at once.Why The Phone Still Matters
Amon has been consistent on one point: the smartphone is not going anywhere. He argued that phones will remain the central hub for personal AI, since they hold the context about a person's life that makes an assistant useful.#AI#US#Crypto#Mobile
