Snapdragon Summit 2026: Smartphones can run 30 billion-parameter AI models

On-device AI models, previously constrained by smartphone memory capacity, can grow to 30 billion parameters through data placement design, Qualcomm said. At Snapdragon Summit 2026, Qualcomm executive vice president Chris Patrick said more capable AI agents need access to larger models with stronger reasoning and richer context. Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon 8 Elite 6th Gen platform, expanding Hexagon NPU shared memory and adding an element accelerator supporting 32,000 tokens.

Nvidia targets AI data centre war beyond GPU fight

Nvidia\'s AI edge is expanding beyond the performance and supply of its GPUs to system capabilities that coordinate entire data centres, an assessment says. As AI computing scales to gigawatt levels, efficiently linking memory, storage, networks and data flows is becoming critical to performance and cost. The shift is reflected in Nvidia’s strategy to build integrated data centre systems, including its next-generation Vera Rubin architecture combining GPUs, CPUs, accelerators, storage and networking racks.
