The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip will also get an upgraded neural processing unit (NPU) for improving on-device AI capabilities.
At the Mobile world congress (MWC), earlier this week, Qualcomm previewed its large multimodal AI model for Android phones, powered by its Snapdragon platform. The company previewed Large Language and Vision Assistant (LLaVA), a 7+ billion parameter large multimodal model (LMM) that is capable of accepting multiple types of data inputs, on an Android smartphone. Qualcomm said that the model is multimodal and runs on-device for enhanced privacy, reliability, personalisation, and cost.
Besides LLaVa, the American semiconductor entity demonstrated Low Rank Adaptation (LoRA) running Stable Diffusion on an Android smartphone. According to the company, LoRA would allow users to create high-quality custom images on-device.
