Qualcomm releases 80 locally deployable AI models

Qualcomm has launched an AI Hub Models platform that provides pre-optimized, out-of-the-box AI models for image, audio and speech applications on Snapdragon devices and across the Android ecosystem. Models such as Whisper, ControlNet, Stable Diffusion, and Baichuan 7B are optimized for local AI performance, lower memory consumption, and better power efficiency, and are available for multiple form factors and runtimes. They can be deployed on-device using TensorFlow Lite or the Qualcomm AI Engine Direct SDK, and on cloud-hosted devices using Qualcomm AI Hub.
