Qualcomm is preparing to launch its third-generation Snapdragon 8 chip, which boasts improved performance and a significant advancement in on-device AI capabilities. The chip's powerful AI engine can support high precision in local AI models and run local large-language models of over 10 billion parameters.

The integration of AI-capable chips in consumer devices marks a transformative era in technology, offering faster processing, better personalization, and increased privacy. However, distributing model weights to end devices remains a challenge, particularly for proprietary models like GPT-3 or GPT-4. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is a sign of an AI-focused mobile future, with industry leaders like Google, Qualcomm, and Apple leading the way towards more useful assistants capable of maintaining our privacy and performing tasks.
