Microsoft announced yesterday that it is working with Qualcomm to improve the Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) developer experience. This enhancement will allow organizations to easily develop and deploy Qualcomm IoT processors and AI inference products, as well as Microsoft Azure and AI solutions.
Keith Kressin, Senior President and General Manager of Qualcomm Technologies, said: “5G and artificial intelligence are the two key technologies driving the convergence of devices at the edge of the cloud and networks today. Collaborating with Microsoft to accelerate AI across a wide range of connected devices, from edge to cloud, with our platform from single milliwatt Snapdragon to Qualcomm Cloud AI 100 will enable a range of powerful new applications and services.”
The Microsoft Azure Edge Devices team had the following to say about the new partnership with Qualcomm.
“Qualcomm Technologies’ position in the mobile ecosystem allows them to leverage their hardware-accelerated inference capabilities, from ultra-low-power edge AI solutions to high-performance AI inference in the cloud using Qualcomm Cloud AI 100, and commercially leverage 5G deployments for customers. This makes them the perfect company to work with for our new stylish AI and machine learning developer experience. “
