The topline messaging from Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit was clear: enable AI everywhere through the high-performance, power efficient silicon used in a broad range of product categories — smartphones, of course, but also PCs, vehicles, wearables and XR devices. This is grounded by the idea that the “ecosystem of you” thrives when AI modalities and models are seamlessly integrated into a new type of intelligent system. As the devices and market develop, and the vision gradually comes into focus, Qualcomm understands both the AI ambition and the reality of constraints that will need to be addressed.
AI is all about joining connected compute and digital intelligence with hyper-personal context, then turning that into an increasingly agentic loop where multi-modal inputs are rapidly turned in
