Qualcomm Partnership

Iterate.ai is a proud partner of Qualcomm—and the exclusive provider of large language model (LLM) technologies for Qualcomm’s 6490 chipset. Together, we bring Interplay, our low-code AI development platform, to market with a focus on embedded and IoT deployments that run fast, even in the most resource-constrained environments.

Our models also run seamlessly on Qualcomm’s 8550 chipset, enabling even greater performance for edge AI applications requiring more compute power.

Exclusive Advantage: AI at the Edge, Anywhere

Iterate is the only company that has successfully quantized, distilled, pruned, and fine-tuned LLMs down to nano-sized models capable of running on Qualcomm’s 6490 chipset. These models are fully optimized at the chip level—across memory, compute, and network layers—to deliver low-latency inference on devices that aren’t plugged in and don’t need an internet connection.

On the more powerful 8550 chipsets, we extend these capabilities to support even more complex models and multimodal AI.

Real-World Applications on 6490 and 8550

• Restaurants: Voice-enabled menu ordering directly on a 6490-powered device—no wires, no Wi-Fi.
• Industrial Fieldwork: Standard operating procedures embedded on devices used in oil fields, factories, and mining operations—technicians can talk to the device and instantly retrieve 400-page manuals as interactive conversations.
• Diagnostics & Troubleshooting: Devices can now self-analyze, identify issues, and guide workers through solutions using onboard AI.

Scalable AI Optimization

Iterate’s R&D innovations are embedded directly into Interplay, allowing us to optimize once and deploy everywhere:

• Optimized vector search using PyTorch and non-PyTorch dependencies, with semantic, keyword, and graph-based algorithms
• Fast, lean inference—using techniques like batching, speculative decoding, and accelerated token generation
• Model optimization tailored for edge devices—through aggressive pruning, quantization, and fine-tuning to fit real-world constraints

Global Reach Through Qualcomm

Qualcomm’s long-standing relationships across IoT and embedded computing—spanning automotive, retail, manufacturing, energy, and beyond—help bring these next-generation capabilities to market. With Qualcomm’s global scale and Iterate’s embedded-AI specialization, customers can now deploy high-performing AI in places where traditional systems would fail.

The Future of Distributed AI Starts Here

Iterate and Qualcomm are building the future of distributed AI—where intelligent systems run closer to the real world, with less power, less latency, and more impact.
