Private AI on Devices: The Vision of AGI and Snapdragon

AGI and Snapdragon presented a vision of artificial intelligence (AI) operating directly on user devices at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026. This solution aims to provide a more private and secure AI experience, reducing reliance on cloud services.

The app-agnostic approach allows various applications to leverage the device's AI capabilities without having to send sensitive data to external servers. This is particularly relevant in sectors such as healthcare, finance, and defense, where data sovereignty is critical.

For those evaluating on-premise deployments, there are trade-offs to consider. AI-RADAR offers analytical frameworks on /llm-onpremise to evaluate these aspects.
