Qualcomm CEO reveals AI companies want phones running 100-billion-parameter models continuously by 2028--and confirms some are building phones
Cristiano Amon: “I have to be careful not to disclose names, but some AI companies—some of the companies at the forefront of AI—are telling Qualcomm, ‘By 2028, I need to make sure that I have the ability to run at least a 100-billion-parameter model in a phone, and I need to have this thing running kind of all the time.’”
Alex Heath: “So you’re saying there are AI companies that are talking about—”
Cristiano Amon: “Well, AI companies are starting to do phones.”
Qualcomm’s CEO on the coming AI phone supercycle
@cristianoamon on the China vs. US AI sentiment, how AI is changing smartphones and wearables, Qualcomm’s data center strategy, and 6G.
We discuss why he thinks phones aren’t going away, how agents will use our personal context, and why he expects smart glasses to become the biggest category of AI wearables. We also cover differences in consumer AI adoption between China and the US, Qualcomm’s acquisition of Modular to offer developers an alternative to Nvidia’s software, and what 6G could change about the devices we use.
This conversation was recorded live at Qualcomm’s recent Snapdragon Summit in Hawaii.

Kanye West’s threat to Jews is as ever based on a myth of Jewish power, a myth believed across the political spectrum. It lies at the heart of the Jews Don’t Count phenomenon: Jews are powerful so attacking them is punching up and concern for them in the face of it unnecessary.

Devastated to hear of the passing of my dear, dear friend, the lovely Miss Judy Tenuta. I can’t believe she’s gone. Earth has truly lost a goddess.

The governor of the state of Florida is a preening, vicious, race-baiting piece of performative shit. And any Floridian that can find it in themselves to vote for such a man is, frankly, no better. Own this, Florida. This is your government at work:
