A smarter way to run AI on phones balances speed and accuracy
Phones can now decide when to think for themselves or ask for help, making AI faster.
Deep Dive
Researchers developed a system to make AI language models run faster on phones. It measures how uncertain the AI is about each word it generates. For tricky words, it sends the task to a nearby server; for easy ones, it processes locally. This method, tested in crowded networks, consistently improved response times without sacrificing answer quality, offering a practical solution for mobile AI services.
Why It Matters
This makes powerful AI assistants on your phone more responsive and reliable in everyday use.
