Somewhat surreptitiously filmed, Dr. Vinesh Sukumar presented a vision of Hybrid AI: From Cloud to Edge Intelligence at Web Summit in Lisbon, Portugal.
Dr. Sukumar examined how Qualcomm combines cloud and edge intelligence to deliver real-time, private, and efficient experiences. The presentation traced the evolution from perceptive to generative and now agentic AI, highlighting trends like personalization, multi-modality, and larger on-device models.
It also highlighted technical challenges such as memory and energy constraints were addressed through innovations like optimized NPU execution and dynamic workload distribution.
Finally, our collaborator @Whispp sent their CTO and Co-Founder, Akash Raj Komarlu, to discuss how they’re using the Qualcomm Hexagon NPU to empower their solution.
