Qualcomm Says Agents Will Decide Where AI Runs
Summary
Qualcomm says that in the future, AI agents will decide whether AI tasks run on local devices or in the cloud, based on what works best. These agents will manage different AI models and decide where the work happens without the user needing to know, changing how computing systems are designed.Key Facts
- Qualcomm executive Durga Malladi says AI agents will control where AI tasks run—on devices or in the cloud.
- AI agents can handle multiple models at once and organize computing tasks automatically.
- Qualcomm calls this approach "hybrid AI" because it mixes device-based AI and cloud-based AI depending on the task.
- Factors affecting the decision include task type, speed needed, data sensitivity, and cost.
- Robots and driver-assistance systems need quick responses, so they run some AI locally.
- Qualcomm announced plans to buy AI software company Modular to help AI run smoothly across different hardware.
- The company is expanding from mobile devices into data center AI computing.
- CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs will work together more in AI systems managed by these smart agents.
