After DeepSeek Launch, Mobile AI Trends Will Change

Qualcomm’s DeepSeek R1 revolutionizes on-device AI with faster, efficient, secure inference—reshaping mobile AI trends.

Perhaps the next wave of AI innovation isn’t about whose model is bigger, but about whose model is closer to you.

DeepSeek R1 is having a tremendous impact on the entire technology sector, revolutionizing people’s understanding of AI. On the mobile side, innovation is happening rapidly.

On February 20, Qualcomm released its latest AI white paper, "AI Transformation is Driving Innovation in On-Device Inference," which outlines the prospects for high-quality, small language models and multimodal inference models on devices.

As AI gradually becomes widely deployed, we are increasingly realizing that performing inference with large models on devices can offer higher reliability while also enhancing data security. Moreover, as technology rapidly evolves, even more advantages are beginning to emerge.
