Qualcomm Plans to Add ChatGPT to Mobile Devices

Qualcomm is working on a new generation of processors that will allow AI models like GPT-4 and DALL-E2 to run on smartphones. Presently, users can access these models through the web or mobile apps, but the cost of running them is high. The majority of this cost is used to run servers, with chatGPT costing OpenAI approximately $700,000 per day. However, Qualcomm’s new generation processors will allow generative AI developers and providers to utilise the computing power of edge devices, which can result in cost reduction. The development of AI chips and algorithms is attracting companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft, who recognise the importance of on-device AI models. Although Apple is not yet developing GPT models like Large Language Models (LLM), it is investing heavily in AI chips and algorithms which can run on iPhones, iPads, and Macs. In the future, the ability to run AI models on devices could be an approach for other companies in the artificial intelligence industry.
