Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 brings on-device generative AI to more Android phones

At its annual Snapdragon Summit on Tuesday, Qualcomm revealed its latest mobile chipset. Perhaps the biggest change in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is the introduction of on-device generative AI (akin to Google's Tensor G3). The chipset's AI Engine supports multi-modal generative AI models and what Qualcomm claims is the world's fastest Stable Diffusion system with the ability to generate an image in under a second. So, you should be able to whip up backgrounds and images for social media posts in a flash. Because GAI requests are handled on-device, Qualcomm says they remain private.
