Highlights:

• Qualcomm AI On-Prem Appliance Solution is designed for generative AI inference and computer vision workloads on dedicated on-premises hardware – allowing sensitive customer data, fine-tuned models, and inference loads to remain on premises.
• Qualcomm AI Inference Suite provides ready-to-use AI applications and agents, tools and libraries for operationalizing AI from computer vision to generative AI – spanning across on-premises solutions and cloud deployments.
• Aetina, Honeywell, and IBM are amongst the first wave of industry leaders supporting the AI On-Prem Appliance and AI Inference Suite.

At CES 2025, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., today announced Qualcomm AI On-Prem Appliance Solution, an on-premises desktop or wall-mounted hardware solution, and Qualcomm AI Inference Suite, a set of software and services for AI inferencing spanning from near-edge to cloud. The combination of these new offerings allows for small and medium businesses, enterprises and industrial organizations to run custom and off-the-shelf AI applications on their premises, including generative workloads. Running AI inference on premises can deliver significant savings in operational costs and overall total cost of ownership (TCO), compared to the cost of renting third-party AI infrastructure.

Using the AI On-Prem Appliance Solution in concert with the AI Inference Suite, customers can now use generative AI leveraging their proprietary data, fine-tuned models, and technology infrastructure to automate human and machine processes and applications in virtually any end environment, such as retail stores, quick service restaurants, shopping outlets, dealerships, hospitals, factories and shop floors – where the workflow is well established, repeatable and ready for automation.
