Oppo to make AI go easier on the battery: world's first on-device MoE implementation

The world of AI is evolving extremely fast, so here's another abbreviation that you'll come across in the near future, when discussing smartphones: MoE.

That's short for Mixture of Experts. Basically, it's an architecture in smartphones that refers to an advanced type of AI model designed to make AI tasks more efficient.

In simple terms, it's like having a team of specialized "experts" within your phone's AI system, and only the experts needed for a specific task are activated. This saves power and computing resources, allowing the phone to perform complex AI functions like language processing or image recognition without draining the battery or requiring as much processing power. It makes AI on smartphones faster and more efficient.

Think of it this way: MoE architecture really is a cool way to make smartphones smarter without the extra drain on resources!

While Apple is struggling to roll out its own Apple Intelligence AI feature pack (that's to happen in full swing as early as 2025), Oppo is taking the opportunity to announce a key development in smartphone AI technology.

Oppo claims that it's becoming the first company to integrate the Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture on mobile devices. However, no concrete phone models are mentioned, so we'll keep an eye for further development.
