Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon outlines vision for distributed AI, aims to build 'Linux of AI'

Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon described a future where AI runs across cloud, phone, car, PC, and edge devices, not just in large data centers. He highlighted Qualcomm's Dragonfly C1000 for AI data centers, High Bandwidth Compute for efficient inference, and the Modular acquisition as potential 'Linux of AI'.

In a YouTube interview, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon argued that the next major AI battle is about where AI runs, not model size. He envisions a distributed AI system where inference happens on the most appropriate device—cloud, phone, car, PC, wearable, or edge. Qualcomm is investing in hardware to power this ecosystem: the Dragonfly C1000 for AI data centers, High Bandwidth Compute for efficient inference, and the Modular acquisition, which Amon believes could become the 'Linux of AI'—an open, flexible platform for AI deployment.
