Dragonwing IQ products integrate a CPU, GPU, and Hexagon NPU for heterogeneous computing, optimized for large language models (LLMs), vision, and multimodal AI tasks. Leading GenAI models — including Llama, Whisper, Stable Diffusion, and LLaVA — are supported for IoT scenarios such as robotics, retail, and industrial automation.
For responsive LLM performance, Dragonwing IQ supports multi-billion parameter models with techniques such as prefill acceleration and self-speculative decoding. To enable bring-your-own-model (BYOM) workflows and streamline deployment, use Qualcomm AI Hub, Qualcomm AI Runtime SDK execution providers, and Qualcomm Generative AI Inference Extensions (Genie).
Why on-device GenAI matters
Generative AI on Dragonwing delivers context-aware, adaptive, and privacy-preserving solutions at the edge, enabling automation, personalization, and operational efficiency for use cases such as autonomous drones, predictive maintenance, multimodal agents, and on-device retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).Get started
