PrismML brings small AI models to Qualcomm-powered smart glasses

PrismML, a startup building compact open-weight AI models, announced its language models now run on smart glasses powered by Qualcomm chips. The company's approach focuses on getting AI to work efficiently on the hardware already inside devices, rather than relying on cloud servers for processing.

By shrinking large language models down to run locally, PrismML says it can enable AI features on wearable devices without requiring constant internet connectivity or heavy computing infrastructure. The move reflects a broader industry push toward on-device AI, which can offer faster responses and better privacy since data doesn't need to travel to remote servers.
