Qualcomm demonstrated Stable Diffusion processing in mobile phones + video

In a world where everyone is busy using artificial intelligence tools, Qualcomm has also shown off the power of its processors and shown how fast image production can be done locally on Android phones with the help of the Stable Diffusion model.

Qualcomm with release Video It showed that it is a chip Snapdragon 8 generation 2 How can this company with version 1.5 of Stable Diffusion model in Less than 15 seconds, produce 512 x 512 pixel images. The company did not say what device the test was performed on, but Qualcomm engineers Optimizations have been done in terms of software to make this process smoother.

Performing processes such as Stable Diffusion requires a lot of power, and for this reason, most of these mobile applications perform their processes in cloud space and simply display the result to the user. These processes can be executed even on laptops A few minutes It takes time, so producing an image in less than 15 seconds on mobile is commendable.

Qualcomm broke the Stable Diffusion processing speed record in the mobile world

Qualcomm claims that they have broken the speed record and are the first to run Stable Diffusion processing locally on an Android phone. However, the second claim seems false; Because previously a developer named “Ivan Huang» This experiment with Snapdragon 865 done on Xperia 5 II and to get the output one hour He was waiting.

In the world of Apple, a similar test was done on the iPhone before and it took almost a minute to create a 512 x 512 pixel image on the iPhone 13; However, this comparison may not be correct, because the Apple phone belonged to 2021 and a third-party application was used in that test.

However, Qualcomm’s success could bode well for a future where users will be able to use these AI models offline, with privacy and at a lower cost.
