PrismML brings its tiny LLMs to Qualcomm-powered smart glasses

PrismML, an AI lab founded by Caltech researchers and advised by UC Berkeley faculty, has created a tiny language model designed to run directly on smart glasses powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon chips. The model, a 2-billion-parameter version tuned for vision and language tasks, allows wearers to ask questions about what they are seeing in real time. PrismML's technology shrinks larger language models substantially while retaining nearly all of their performance, and the company positions this approach as an alternative to relying on proprietary AI systems and their privacy policies. While the capability was showcased at a Qualcomm event, no smart glasses products running this technology have been announced yet.
