Honor Magic6 Officially Announces Support for 7 Billion-Scale AI Large Model Developed In-House

【Mobile China News】Artificial intelligence technology, represented by large models, has developed into an important driving force behind a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation. On October 26th, at the Qualcomm Summit, Honor CEO Zhao Ming announced some information about the new phone, Honor Magic6, during his speech. He mentioned that the new phone will be equipped with the brand-new Snapdragon 8Gen3 and Honor’s self-developed 7B-side AI large model (7B refers to a scale of 7 billion parameters). The appearance of Honor’s self-developed 7B-side AI large model also indicates the beginning of a new round of competition in the future development direction of smartphones.

Since 2023, the hottest term in the tech industry has been ChatGPT and its underlying large model technology. For smartphone manufacturers, large models are a technology peak that must be conquered as soon as possible. On one hand, the general capabilities of large models are seen as the key to smartphones breaking free from the “parameter-only” argument and their wide range of applications has become a battleground for major phone manufacturers. On the other hand, the disparity in innovative application capabilities of large models may directly determine the market position of phone manufacturers in the next stage.

From the information released at this summit, the upcoming Honor Magic6 will be the first to apply AI-side large models, allowing the industry and users to see the highlights of OS experience upgrade and more possibilities for applications.

• vivo Y100 will be released tomorrow afternoon with long battery life and 512GB large storage.
• No more pretending! The appearance of the Honor Magic 6 series is revealed in advance ‘Dynamic Island’ is a rock-solid hit.
• Hint? Zhao Ming No need to rush for the first release of Snapdragon 8 Gen3, it’s more important to polish the product.

For example, the interactive Magic Capsule, relying on the low-power capabilities of Qualcomm chips and Honor’s unique eye-control technology, enables multimodal interaction based on eye-tracking. In simple terms, when you request a ride-sharing service and a notification appears on the Capsule’s position, instead of clicking, you just need to take a glance to expand and see the license plate number and estimated arrival time. If you continue to gaze, you can further expand it to the app, providing a high level of playability and convenience.

Another example is shown in the video, where a theme video is created by giving short prompts to the YOYO assistant, and you can even change the background music or template through a conversation with the YOYO assistant.

The rise of large model products presents new opportunities and challenges for smartphone manufacturers, and there are evident style differences among different manufacturers as they actively enter the market. For example, Honor and Xiaomi both focus on the edge side, while Huawei focuses on cloud-side first before integrating with the edge side, or they adopt a combination of edge and cloud from the beginning.

The large model proposed by Honor for the edge side is different from the large model on the cloud side. The cloud-side large model is a general-purpose service, a centralized model service based on public knowledge, learning through massive data on the cloud side, which makes it difficult to provide personalized services for thousands of users. It is also unable to complete closed-loop tasks on mobile devices. The edge-side large model, on the other hand, understands users’ habits and routines, allowing for closed-loop services for complex tasks. It can better learn users’ personal data, and personal data is kept on the device and not uploaded to the cloud, making it more secure in terms of privacy. It is a personalized intelligent entity. It also accumulates personal knowledge base on the edge side, which is transferable, inheritable, and can grow. With the learning and growth of edge AI on users’ personal data and habits, it can bring a deeper understanding of intent and more personalized services for complex scenarios.

In an interview, Zhao Ming emphasized that the edge-side large model and the cloud-side network large model are collaborative and not mutually exclusive. However, by optimizing the edge-side large model, the efficiency of the network large model can be improved. It helps balance the services provided by the edge side and the network side and protects personal data privacy. Honor has been quite forward-thinking in this perception and development direction for a considerable period of time.

Today, the advantages of AI large models are undeniable. They will be the key points for technology innovation and transforming the user experience, making our phone interactions more intelligent and user-friendly. They will bring more possibilities and value to innovative applications, no longer limited to hardware and specifications. Of course, this requires phone manufacturers to put in a lot of effort in integrating the underlying systems and optimizing performance. In the context of fierce competition in the smartphone market and increasingly homogeneous performance experiences, we are looking forward to more valuable innovative experiences.
