OPPO today announced the global first successful application of the Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture on mobile devices. This groundbreaking advancement significantly enhances AI processing efficiency, opening new avenues for the further development of terminal AI technology and laying the foundation for the deep integration of AI with mobile hardware.
With the rapid development of AI technology, an increasing number of AI tasks need to be completed on terminal devices. However, large AI models often require substantial computational power, which poses a significant challenge for mobile devices with limited hardware resources. To overcome this limitation, OPPO has partnered with leading chip manufacturers to successfully implement the MoE architecture on terminal devices.
The core advantage of the MoE architecture lies in its ability to dynamically activate specialized sub-models (“experts”) based on specific tasks, thereby significantly improving processing efficiency and reducing computational and data transmission costs. Laboratory tests show that the terminal MoE architecture can increase AI task processing speed by approximately 40%, while reducing resource consumption and enhancing energy efficiency. This means users will experience faster AI response times, longer battery life, and enhanced privacy security as more tasks are processed locally.
OPPO's breakthrough in implementing the MoE architecture on terminal devices demonstrates its strength in AI innovation. By reducing the cost of AI computation, the MoE architecture enables a wide range of devices, from flagship to entry-level, to perform complex AI tasks, accelerating the adoption of AI technology across the industry. This also opens up new opportunities for the industry, allowing advanced AI features to benefit a broader user base.
As an active player in the AI field, OPPO has accumulated over 5,860 AI-related patent applications. The establishment of the OPPO AI Center in 2024 is a significant step in consolidating the company's AI research capabilities and further advancing its mission to provide high-quality AI experiences to global users. By continuously advancing research on cutting-edge technologies such as MoE and fully deploying AI features across its smartphone product lines, OPPO is committed to enabling more users to enjoy high-quality AI experiences and promoting the widespread adoption of AI technology in various devices.
