"Jarvis, I need your help." This is the scene in the movie where Iron Man Tony Stark asks his artificial intelligence assistant Jarvis for support. Jarvis in "Iron Man" not only fascinated audiences, but also ignited people's imagination for smart assistants. As depicted in the movie "Her," intelligent assistants can also create real emotional connections with humans, converse with them, share their lives, and even seek emotional fulfillment.
▌Privacy and security, allowing personalized AI products to gradually enter the public eye
In recent years, AI technology has continued to heat up and become the focus of the technology field. In this booming environment, various types of AI applications emerge in an endless stream. ChatGPT hangs high in the cloud and becomes a phenomenon-level application for a while. With the in-depth discussion of privacy, security, and personalization in the AI field, personalized AI products with thousands of faces are gradually being sought after.
Recently, Inflection AI became a unicorn star with its excellent generative AI capabilities, and its valuation soared to $4 billion. In May 2023, Inflection AI released their first product - Pi. Pi is a chatbot similar to ChatGPT, but unlike ChatGPT's general AI, Pi focuses on becoming a personal AI assistant, focusing on high emotional intelligence, good at communication, and providing emotional value, paying more attention to personal privacy protection, security and personalization.
The popularity of Infection AI also coincides with Qualcomm's hybrid AI concept. As a major international manufacturer, Qualcomm has been continuously promoting the development of artificial intelligence through innovative solutions in the field of end-to-end computing power and edge computing. In its view, hybrid AI will be the future of AI, and hybrid AI is crucial to the scale-up of generative AI. The popularity of end-to-end computing power and edge computing will bring advantages in cost, energy consumption, performance, privacy, security and personalization on a global scale.
At present, the market generally pays attention to the development of cloud computing power, but ignores the importance of edge computing power in the process of artificial intelligence and social digitalization. As AI large-scale model applications gradually penetrate into all walks of life and different vertical fields, the computing power provided by traditional large-scale computing centers can no longer meet the diverse, low-power, and high-privacy AI computing needs. In the future, edge AI computing power will play an indispensable role in this field.
▌High-performance products are being promoted, and product innovation makes computing power inclusive
This year, Qualcomm launched the latest generation of AI computing power chip QCS8550. The chip processor integrates powerful NPU computing power and edge-side AI processing technology, Wi-Fi 7 connection technology, and enhanced graphics and video processing capabilities. It provides powerful computing and networking capabilities for high-performance, intelligent IoT applications, smart speakers, personal assistant terminals, home computing power centers and other fields, and truly realizes AI empowerment.
Based on the Qualcomm QCS8550 processor, MeiG Smart developed the flagship high-computing AI module SNM970 to accelerate the implementation of AI applications with technological and product innovation. The module chip adopts a 4nm high-end process, with a comprehensive AI computing power of up to 48Tops. The product integrates an 8-core Kryo CPU, Adreno 740 GPU, Adreno DPU 1295, and Spectra 680 ISP. While providing powerful computing and task processing capabilities, it can precisely optimize the distribution of AI computing power resources, so that the module and terminal products can run at full power. The powerful 48T AI computing power, and through power consumption control technology, while providing ultra-high performance, it ensures the super low power consumption.
Based on the Qualcomm QCS8550 chip, the SNM970 exhibits excellent edge computing capabilities and has an industry-leading advantage in energy efficiency, enabling it to efficiently process tasks and provide users with faster response speed, better privacy protection and lower costs. With its leading design and R&D capabilities and powerful AI computing power, the SNM970 module can be applied to personalized scenarios such as embodied intelligent robots, home computing power terminals, and personal AI assistants in the future, providing users with an intelligent and personalized experience and realizing AI.
▌End- side computing power product forms are constantly enriched, allowing Pratt & Whitney computing power to link everyone and families
Intelligent robot: Tesla demonstrated a humanoid robot named "Optimus Prime" at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference. It is 172cm tall, weighs 56.6kg, and has 28 degrees of freedom and 11 flexible hands. This robot has been able to complete actions such as walking, going up and down stairs, squatting, and picking up objects, and has the ability to protect itself and those around it. With the continuous improvement of terminal-side AI capabilities, similar robot terminals will eventually become embodied intelligence and truly become human friends and assistants.
Home computing power host: Recently, some operators have released home computing power host devices for C-end home users. As a centralized bearing point for home computing power, this product can be used as a home data center, computing center, and service center. Let us see the future form of AI computing power taking root on the consumer side. Perhaps in the near future, in addition to water, electricity and other energy sources, how much computing power a family has will become a new proposition.
Intelligent AI assistant: In the future, the intelligent AI assistant may become an intelligent product or system capable of interacting and communicating with individuals. It can take many forms, but all can respond to voice commands, provide real-time information, manage schedules, play music, control smart home devices, and more. The intelligent AI assistant terminal equipped with a high-computing AI module can realize functions such as environment perception, intelligent navigation, and item identification through terminal-side computing power, and can make independent decisions and operations according to the needs of family members, providing users with personalized services and support.
Smart assistants with end-to-side AI computing power have stronger speech recognition and natural language processing capabilities, and can more accurately understand and respond to user needs. By learning the preferences and habits of users, they can provide personalized suggestions, recommendations and services to create a customized smart life experience for users. The personal assistant equipped with SNM970, a high-computing AI module of MeiG, can realize a full-scenario voice interaction system. It only takes 245ms from voice wake-up to interface feedback. At the same time, voice interaction supports wake-up words and offline intent recognition.
In the future, intelligent robots, personal or family-oriented computing power terminals, and intelligent AI assistants in various forms will all be the best examples of end-to-side AI and edge computing. The gradual manifestation of cost, energy consumption, performance, privacy, security, and personalization advantages will allow us to see the strong vitality of hybrid AI. Perhaps, we need to think from now on, how much computing power will you and your family need in the future, and where will they be placed? Is it in the distant clouds, or is it within reach by your side?
