Qualcomm's CEO says frontier AI companies want smartphones capable of running 100-billion-parameter models continuously by 2028, and some are already building their own models for this purpose.
The statement signals an aggressive on-device AI roadmap — a two-order-of-magnitude jump from today's small phone-side models — with major implications for chip, memory bandwidth and power design, and positions Qualcomm's next-gen silicon around continuously running large models on handsets.
