- Qualcomm used an Android phone to generate an AI image in under 15 seconds.
- The task was completed on-device without an internet connection.
- The company used a phone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Stable Diffusion.
Qualcomm has demonstrated the ability for Android phones to generate AI images within seconds using simple text prompts. The chipmaker was able to create a 512 x 512 pixel image of a warrior cat wearing armor using an Android phone and Stable Diffusion, a popular text-to-image generative AI model.
Qualcomm says it utilized its AI stack to run Stable Diffusion 1.5 on the phone, which wasn’t connected to the internet. Essentially, the phone performed all AI operations necessary to generate the image on device. In a video shared by the company, the AI image of the Cat is generated in just under 15 seconds.
