Qualcomm CEO says AI firms want 100B-parameter models running on phones by 2028

Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon says some AI companies have told Qualcomm they need to run a 100-billion-parameter model on a phone by 2028, and that the model must run continuously.

Amon declined to name the companies, saying only that AI companies are starting to build phones themselves.

The claim comes from Amon's remarks as reported by Alex Heath on X. No other source or company confirmation is cited in the report.
