AI lab PrismML has developed a specialized version of its compact language models designed to run locally on smart glasses powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon processors.
At the Snapdragon Summit, the company showcased its 2-billion-parameter Bonsai 1-bit LLM, which features vision and language capabilities. This allows wearers of compatible smart glasses to ask questions about their surroundings in real time without relying on cloud servers.
The startup aims to promote efficient, open-weight AI that maximizes existing hardware capabilities as an alternative to proprietary cloud models. While this Qualcomm integration marks a major milestone, no consumer smart glasses featuring the software have been announced yet.
- PrismML optimized its tiny LLMs for Qualcomm Snapdragon AR chips.
- The 2-billion-parameter Bonsai model supports both vision and language tasks.
- Enables real-time, on-device AI interactions for smart glasses wearers.
- No commercial smart glasses running the software have been revealed yet.
