Web Summit Masterclass: Developing for Edge AI: Bringing Intelligence Closer

Dr. Vinesh Sukumar presented Developing for Edge AI: Bring Intelligence Closer at Web Summit in Lisbon, Portugal. The session explored how Qualcomm seeks to simplify AI inference from edge to cloud, culminating in a vision for Hybrid AI, where devices and cloud work together for optimized performance, privacy, and immediacy. It traced trends like personalization, multi-modality, and the rise of large on-device models, while addressing challenges such as memory and energy constraints through innovations like heterogeneous computing and sensing hubs. Finally, George Chen, CTO and Founder, Layla Networks, demonstrated how leveraging the Qualcomm Hexagon NPU and optimized frameworks enables Layla to run 100% on device.
