Qualcomm and Meta, the parent company of Facebook, have announced a collaboration to develop Llama 2 based AI technology for smartphones and connected PCs. The aim of this alliance is to integrate AI intelligence into Qualcomm Snapdragon processor platforms, bringing it to the edge of devices. Initially, the technology will be mainstreamed into smartphones and tablets before being extended to IoT devices. Edge-based technology offers cost savings, increased security, privacy, and greater reliability of applications. It can be used in virtual assistants, content creation tools, entertainment apps, and productivity suites.
According to a survey by Statista in 2021, over a billion gadgets, including smartphones, tablets, XR headsets, and glasses, are expected to use Qualcomm AI-based hardware and software by 2025. Meta will ensure that the usage of its Llama AI is responsible and aligned with innovation.
Meta’s Llama 2 based Artificial Intelligence is a language model developed by Meta scientists, which can be used in the development of chatbots like Microsoft’s OpenAI ChatGPT. It uses generated data to train and replicate human intelligence to a certain extent. However, it is too early to predict whether the upcoming AI-based chatbot will become a competitor to ChatGPT.
Key points:
1. Qualcomm and Meta are collaborating on Llama 2 based AI technology for smartphones and connected PCs.
2. The objective is to integrate AI intelligence into Qualcomm Snapdragon processor platforms.
3. The technology will first be mainstreamed into smartphones and tablets before expanding to IoT devices.
4. Edge-based technology offers cost savings, increased security, privacy, and reliability.
5. Meta will ensure responsible usage of Llama AI while promoting innovation.
