AI Image generation: Android could generate AI-powered pictures

The concept of AI image generation using text prompts has been getting popular for quite some time now. Although there have been several tools that do it, Stable Diffusion is the one that most people prefer.

Now, Qualcomm has decided to demonstrate the ability of its chipset for AI image generation in a matter of seconds, and if all goes well, you can expect it to appear on Android phones in the future.

Qualcomm used Stable Diffusion to create a 512×512 pixel image of a cat wearing armour. This was accomplished by running Stable Diffusion 1.5 on a smartphone without internet connectivity using the Qualcomm AI stack.

The interesting thing to note here is that without any internet, what the phone was performing was AI Image generation.

The AI Image generation performed by the smartphone used the following prompt, “Super cute fluffy cat warrior in armour, photorealistic, 4K, ultra-detailed, Vray rendering, unreal engine.”

In terms of the Qualcomm chipset used to complete this task, the company used a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, which is the fastest chipset on the market for Android phones. The company also stated that the version of Stable Diffusion they used was optimized for “quantization, compilation, and hardware acceleration.”

While this may appear to be a minor accomplishment, given that smartphone processors were not previously thought to be powerful enough for AI Image generation, it is an impressive achievement. This could also imply that future Android smartphones will be able to use Stable Fusion and other AI-related tools to generate various types of content, and because this was accomplished without the use of an internet connection, all data will remain secure on the phone.
