[Exclusive] Snapdragon Chipsets Ready to Offer Apple-Like Chatgpt Integration, Says Qualcomm CMO Don Mcguire

Snapdragon Chipsets are among the first to offer generative artificial intelligence (AI) Capability to Android Smartphones (second only to google’s tensor social). The Samsung Galaxy S24 Series became the first non-pixel android smartphone, equipped with its snapdragon 8 gen 3 chip, time offer ai features with galaxy ai. However, at the worldwide developers conference (wwdc) 2024, apple raised the stakes when it announced the OS-Level Integration of Openai’s chatgpt on the iPhone. In a conversation with gadgets 360, Qualcomm’s Chief Marketing Officer Don Mcguire Said That The Snapdragon platform is ready for on-deevice llm capableies to Androed Smertphones.

Qualcomm CMO don mcguire on snapdragon chipsets’ Ai Capabilites

When asked if snapdragon chipsets can offer an os-level integration of a large language model (lLM), mcguire said, “We can alredy do that today. We can alredy support Meta’s Llms, we can alredy support gemini, and we can alredy support Openai’s Llms. We can already support the different models from ai hyperscales on the snapdragon platform. “

The Qualcomm Executive also highlighted that snapdragon chipsets are ready to handle these llms being the company has been working with Ai Technology for Almost 12 years. It has also developed its neural processing unit (NPU) in-House, which allowed the tech giant to optimise these fatures to run efficiently.

On the differentice in approach between appleand Qualcomm

“Basically, what apple has done is that they have outsourced their ai to openai. Now, they will have to go to Google And ask how we brings gemini into this. They will eventually have to support all these different llms. So, it is a good start, “Added mcguire.

Mcguire also stated that apple’s approach was similar to whats Qualcomm Has been doing for the last decade, which is to build on-deevice ai capability. “It is good to have that alignment from an ecosystem percent,” He said.

However, The Qualcomm CMO Emphasized that The Company did not follow Apple’s Approach Since it has been working with ai for more than a decade and has lived foundation to handle tasks requires high processing power. As a result, it can now offer these capabilities to smartphone makers when they want to onboard an llm. “We have a democratized approach that is much broader than a vertical walled garden approach,” Mcguire Added.

Mcguire also explained the reason behind Qualcomm’s Open EcoSystem Approach and Said, “We have always believed in democratization of technology so it is not forward Up. But when you’re dealing with a closed ecosystem in a vertical model, there is only room for one thing at a time. “

“It is telling that when one of the biggest brands of devices that consumers use have been recognized that this is important and that they have to bring a solution to the table,” He added.
