In a remarkable leap for mobile technology, OPPO has emerged as a pioneer in artificial intelligence (AI) by successfully integrating the Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture directly onto its devices.

This innovative breakthrough promises to enhance AI processing capabilities while creating exciting new avenues for the future of smart devices.

As the demand for advanced AI functionalities rises, the importance of performing tasks on-device has become increasingly evident.

However, the complexity of large AI models often presents significant challenges, particularly regarding computational power, which can strain devices with limited hardware resources.

OPPO’s solution, born from collaboration with leading chipset manufacturers, leverages the MoE architecture to overcome these hurdles and optimise performance.

The MoE architecture operates by selectively activating specialised sub-models, known as “experts,” tailored for specific tasks.

This intelligent system not only increases processing efficiency but also reduces the need for extensive data transfer and computational resources.

Preliminary laboratory tests have shown that this technology can accelerate AI task execution speeds by approximately 40 per cent.

Such advancements lead to quicker responses from AI applications, prolonged battery life, and enhanced user privacy since more operations can now occur directly on the device.

This revolutionary approach underscores OPPO’s commitment to innovation in the AI landscape.

By lowering the computational barriers, the MoE architecture democratizes access to sophisticated AI functionalities across a spectrum of devices, from high-end models to more economical alternatives.

This strategic move not only accelerates the adoption of AI technologies in the mobile sector but also opens the door for a broader audience to benefit from enhanced capabilities.

Looking to the future, OPPO is unwavering in its ambition to advance AI technology and extend its reach to a wider user base.

With an impressive portfolio of over 5,860 patent applications in the AI field, OPPO’s investment in research and development is substantial.

The establishment of its AI Centre in 2024 marks a significant milestone in consolidating its research efforts, reinforcing the company’s mission to deliver superior AI experiences to users across the globe.

Through continuous innovation and the global rollout of AI-powered features within its smartphone lineup, OPPO aims to ensure that cutting-edge AI technology is not just a luxury but a standard offering available to all.

This strategic focus on accessibility and quality positions OPPO as a key player in shaping the future of AI in mobile devices, solidifying its role at the forefront of technological advancements.
