Why is Qualcomm partnering with companies for different experiences?
Until now, Qualcomm chips usually provided phone makers with a canvas to draw their own paintings.
It has previously worked with manufacturers such asHuawei and Xiaomi.
But this is a rare occasion when a chipmaker is working with a camera maker exclusively.
He said that this tech will enhance dynamic range and clarity in pictures.
One of the most important partnerships is withHugging Face, an open-source startup working on language-based machine learning models.
Qualcomm demoed a smart assistant which uses sentiment analysis to classify the most important notifications for you.
Plus, you’re free to look at a summary of notifications based on their priority.
The assistant can also answer questions like Wheres my dinner meeting?
and When should I leave?
All this reminded me of Google Assistant.
Whats in it for developers?
However, the biggest change is to introduce Neural architecture search (NAS) for Qualcomm chips.
NAS enables data scientists to optimize a model for particular hardware without manually training it.
They can also put constraints on the models size or other parameters based on the use case.
The chipmaker is partnering with Google Cloud to provide the backbone for this NAS offering.
And for that, its putting the onus on its AI chops.
That’s one heck of a mixed bag.
