Partnership to advance open, developer-driven AI from device to cloud
This collaboration is intended to unite Qualcomm Technologies’ industry-leading device to data center platforms with Hugging Face’s global AI community, model ecosystem, and developer software tools, to enable a new era of agentic AI and hybrid inference at scale.
The collaboration is designed to unlock a unified AI experience by seamlessly connecting edge devices and cloud systems powered by Qualcomm Technologies’ products. Through this effort, applications can intelligently balance performance, cost, and latency to deliver more powerful and accessible AI solutions for developers and enterprises worldwide.
Vibrant ecosystem
“By combining Qualcomm’s leadership in high-performance, low-power computing with Hugging Face’s vibrant developer ecosystem, we are enabling a new generation of AI applications that seamlessly span device and cloud,” affirmed Cristiano Amon, President and CEO, Qualcomm.
“Together with Qualcomm Technologies, using Modular software and tools, we’re making it easy for our 16 million developers to run open models everywhere, from a device in your hand to a full rack in the data center, with agents that work across the compute continuum,” asserted Clément Delangue, Co-founder and CEO, Hugging Face.
Three key pillars
The collaboration is expected to focus on three key pillars across Qualcomm, Snapdragon, Dragonwing and Dragonfly family of products, driving AI usage from Hugging Face’s 16mn developers across data center infrastructure, accelerating AI model deployment from edge devices to cloud, and enabling agentic AI orchestration on hybrid AI environments.
The first element focuses on driving open AI model usage by connecting Qualcomm Technologies’ data center infrastructure with Hugging Face’s AI storage infrastructure.
The second element of the collaboration is planned to accelerate AI model deployment across devices and data center racks powered by Qualcomm Technologies products.
The third element enables the orchestration of Agentic AI across device and cloud environments powered by Qualcomm Technologies products.
