Generative AI is leading the AI revolution, introducing unparalleled innovations in daily life. Just last month, Meta unveiled Llama 2, its proprietary open-source generative AI model. It appears that this advanced AI model has already infiltrated an indispensable device – our smartphones. Let’s delve into how MediaTek is harnessing Generative AI in its chipsets.
MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300 to Harness Meta’s Llama 2
MediaTek, in an official blog , revealed its active collaboration with Meta to employ its Llama 2 Large Language Model (LLM) to instate on-device generative AI functionalities in its forthcoming flagship chipset, potentially the Dimensity 9300, later this year. This implies that in the near future, you can own a premium smartphone powered by a MediaTek Dimensity chipset and experience on-the-go AI functionalities!
A natural question arises, “How does this differ from our current use of generative AI?” The distinction lies in its execution. Presently, generative AI processing predominantly relies on cloud computing. However, MediaTek’s partnership with Meta enables AI processing directly on your device, bypassing the cloud. Essentially, AI will be “integrated” into your smartphone processor henceforth.

This not only accelerates your generative AI experience but may also alter your future interactions with it. Another crucial advantage is user privacy. This on-device implementation will locally store and process AI data on your smartphone, bolstering security and affording users greater control over their personal data.
MediaTek asserts that providing Generative AI on its chipsets will facilitate “uninterrupted performance, enhanced privacy, superior security and dependability, reduced latency, functionality in regions with minimal or no connectivity, and decreased operational costs.”
Available Information
Presently, limited information is available about MediaTek’s forthcoming flagship mobile SoC. However, leaks suggest that the Dimensity 9300 chipset will feature ARM Cortex-X4 and A720 CPU cores, along with the Immortalis-G720 GPU.
Furthermore, MediaTek isn’t the sole semiconductor firm making strides in the AI domain. Qualcomm also disclosed its collaboration with Meta to activate on-device generative AI functionalities, leveraging Llama 2, in its upcoming flagship chipset. Apparently, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is poised to be the pioneer mobile chipset to incorporate Llama 2 functionalities.
