Qualcomm Technologies and AGI, the artificial general intelligence research company, have announced a collaboration to bring agentic AI capabilities to Snapdragon-powered devices. The partnership aims to enable AI agents that can autonomously perform complex, multi-step tasks directly on-device, without requiring constant cloud connectivity.
Agentic AI refers to systems that go beyond simple question-and-answer interactions, instead taking initiative to plan, execute, and adapt sequences of actions to achieve a user's goals. Running these capabilities on-device offers advantages in latency, privacy, and reliability.
On-Device Intelligence
By leveraging the neural processing capabilities of Snapdragon chipsets, the collaboration aims to deliver AI agents that can operate within the power and thermal constraints of mobile and edge devices while still performing sophisticated reasoning and task execution.
The future of AI isn't just about bigger models in the cloud — it's about intelligent agents that live on the devices people carry every day. Snapdragon provides the foundation to make that possible.
Key Aspects of the Collaboration
Agentic AI models optimised for Snapdragon neural processing units
On-device execution for reduced latency and improved privacy
Multi-step task planning and autonomous action capabilities
Designed for mobile, PC, automotive, and IoT form factors
Bringing agentic AI to the edge opens up entirely new categories of user experience. This collaboration with AGI represents a significant step toward truly autonomous on-device intelligence.
The first products leveraging the collaboration are expected to appear in Snapdragon-powered devices later in 2026.
