San Diego, May 23: At Microsoft Build 2024, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. announced the expansion of its Qualcomm® AI Hub to support Snapdragon® X Series Platforms, reducing time-to-market for developers and unlocking the benefits of on-device generative AI in next-gen Windows PCs.
This expansion enables developers to bring their own AI models and seamlessly optimize them to run directly within devices, offering significant advantages such as superior responsiveness, enhanced privacy, improved reliability, and more personalized user experiences.
“With support for Snapdragon X Series Platforms in the Qualcomm AI Hub, we are providing developers with the flexibility and power to create innovative AI applications for next-generation Windows PCs,” said Durga Malladi, senior vice president and general manager of technology planning and edge solutions, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
“We are committed to providing developers with the tools and resources they need to unleash the full potential of on-device generative AI.”
The Qualcomm AI Hub serves as the developer’s gateway for resources, tools, and services to enable superior on-device AI performance. It features a growing library of over 100 pre-optimized AI models, available on Hugging Face and GitHub.
Additionally, Qualcomm AI Hub now allows developers to “Bring Your Own Model” (BYOM), with capabilities to upload, optimize, and compile their models specifically for Snapdragon and Qualcomm® platforms, supporting all key frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, and ONNX.
Developers can easily test and validate the models on cloud-hosted devices in less than five minutes using a few lines of code.
This simplification of the model optimization and verification process saves valuable time and effort, accelerating development and deployment cycles.
Leading global PC OEMs, including Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Samsung, and others, are scheduled to launch PCs powered by Snapdragon X Elite and/or X Plus Compute Platforms, allowing developers to use the Qualcomm AI Hub to deliver superior experiences on this new generation of devices.
Snapdragon X Series Platforms support a broad range of AI development tools.
With deep integrations with ONNX Runtime and Hugging Face Optimum, as well as support for Llama.cpp, developers can now run thousands of models on Snapdragon X Series Platforms and build rich AI-powered Windows applications.
Developers can also learn about on-device AI and how to implement it for their apps in an online course offered by DeepLearning.AI in collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies.
