OPPO Leads AI Innovation with World’s First On-Device MoE Implementation, Paving Way for AI Advancements

Tweet

Global leading smart device brand OPPO has achieved a significant breakthrough by becoming the first company to implement the Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture on-device. This milestone enhances AI processing efficiency, opens new possibilities for more advanced and flexible on-device AI, laying the groundwork for future innovations in AI's integration with mobile hardware.

As AI technology continues to evolve, more tasks are being performed on-device. However, large AI models require substantial computational power, which can impact performance, especially on devices with limited hardware resources. In response, OPPO has collaborated with leading chipset providers to implement the MoE architecture on-device to overcome these limitations.

The MoE architecture dynamically activates specialized sub-models (“experts”) to handle specific tasks, thereby significantly improving processing efficiency and cutting down computing and data transfer consumption. Lab tests reveal that on-device MoE architecture accelerates AI task speeds by approximately 40%, reducing resource demands and improving energy efficiency. This means faster AI responses, longer battery life and enhanced privacy as more tasks are handled locally on the device.

OPPO’s implementation of the MoE architecture on-device is a breakthrough that highlights its advancement in AI innovation. By lowering AI’s computational costs, MoE allows more devices-ranging from flagship to affordable devices-to perform complex AI tasks, accelerating AI’s adoption across the industry. As a result, The MoE architecture on-device opens new opportunities for the industry to make advanced AI capabilities more accessible to a wider audience.

Looking ahead, OPPO remains committed to advancing AI technology and making it available to more users. With over 5,860 patent applications in the AI field, OPPO continues to invest heavily in AI R&D. The establishment of OPPO’s AI Center in 2024 serves as a key step in consolidating its AI research efforts, furthering the company’s mission to provide high-quality AI experiences to users worldwide. Through continued research like MoE and the global rollout of AI-powered features across its smartphone lineup, OPPO aims to extend high-quality AI experiences to a broader audience, ensuring that AI technology becomes more accessible to users across its device categories.

Tweet

• The realme 13 Pro+ 5G takes night photography to a whole new level with its Ultra Clear Camera with AI

Ever walked through the city at night or enjoyed a candle-lit dinner, only to find it challenging to take clear, low-light photos? Without the perfect smartphone, these moments fade into the dark, missing the chance to be captured and cherished.

Fortunately, the realme 13 Pro+ 5G excels at capturing vibrant colors and intricate details in low-light settings thanks to its dedicated Night Mode and 3x Nightscape, making each scene unique.

Additionally, it has cutting-edge camera features that complement Night Mode and 3x Nightscape. These features include AI Ultra Clarity, AI Smart Removal, and 120x SuperZoom with a dual-camera setup featuring a Sony LYT600 Periscope Camera and a Sony LYT701 Camera.

Improve photos with AI Smart Removal

On top of Nightscape, the realme 13 Pro+ 5G offers AI Smart Removal, a feature that lets users refine their images by removing unwanted objects.

Consider the left photo below, where an unsightly air vent ruins an otherwise perfect shot. AI Smart Removal can easily remove this element using just a few simple steps.

AI Smart Removal is a handy post-processing tool that simplifies photo editing. To use it, simply open the gallery, select the desired photo, and tap Edit. From the editing menu, choose AI Eraser, then use the Smart Lasso feature to outline and identify the object that needs to be removed.

The phone's AI expertly detects and removes unwanted objects, leaving a seamless photo without distractions. Plus, the Paint Over function can enhance the background further, ensuring a flawless shot.

Zoom in with clarity

Another standout feature that works with Nightscape is 120x SuperZoom. The realme 13 Pro+ 5G, equipped with the Sony LYT600 Periscope Camera, allows for effortless capture of portraits and distant scenes even in low-light conditions.

In the sample shots below, ranging from 1x to 3x Zoom, the phone delivers stunning clarity despite challenging lighting.

Thanks to the powerful Sony LYT600 Periscope Camera, every detail remains sharp and noise-free at any zoom level. With up to 120x SuperZoom, users can capture photos at any distance, all with the same impressive clarity.

Overall, the realme 13 Pro+ 5G makes night photography a breeze. Whether wandering through charming, low-light venues or enjoying a night out with friends, this smartphone effortlessly captures every moment in low light, turning every snapshot into a vibrant memory.

Don’t let another moment slip by—head to any realme stores nationwide or visit realme's official e-commerce platforms on TikTok Shop, Lazada, and Shopee to get the realme 13 Pro+ 5G today starting at P28,999.

OPPO Showcases Breakthrough Generative AI at Google I/O Connect China 2024

Tweet

Beijing, China — Following the Google Cloud Next '24, global leading smart device brand OPPO made an appearance at the Google I/O Connect China recently. Kai Tang, President of OPPO’s Software Engineering, shared insights on how generative AI technology is driving innovation in the smartphone industry and presented OPPO’s AI phone strategy, showcasing various high-productivity AI features integrated with Google Gemini models.

Expanding the Boundaries of Generative AI Applications through Deep Collaboration with Google

“As a revolutionary technology, generative AI is transforming the mobile industry,” stated Kai Tang. “OPPO is dedicated to making AI phones accessible to everyone. We will keep an open mind and work closely with industry giants like Google to deliver the best AI phone experience for our users.”

As a global leader in artificial intelligence, Google is at the forefront of AI technology development and application across various fields.

MWC Shanghai 2024: HONOR Unveils Industry's First AI Defocus Eye Protection and AI Deepfake Detection

Tweet

Debuted at MWC 2024, the latest HONOR features leverage hardware-level AI to relieve myopia and circumvent scams

Global technology brand HONOR revealed two industry-leading on-device AI innovations created to empower individuals and introduce a new level of user safety. During its keynote at MWC Shanghai 2024, titled “The Human-AI Synergy: Intelligent Devices Will Empower People Better,” HONOR showcased its latest advancements in human-centric AI, AI Defocus Eye Protection and AI Deepfake Detection. During the keynote session, the brand also reiterated its focus on human-centric on-device AI and its belief in the potential for AI-enabled hardware to empower users by delivering tailored services while protecting user privacy.

Evolving Eye Protection Technology from Prevention to Relief

Introducing the latest advancements in eye-protection technology, HONOR launched AI Defocus Eye Protection at MWC Shanghai. Noting the global increase in cases of nearsightedness caused by long-term screen usage, this technology leverages AI to simulate defocus glasses on the smart device’s display.

Wearing defocus glasses is proven to be conducive to eye health as they intentionally induce controlled defocus in the user’s peripheral visual field to help maintain clear central vision. This effect creates an altered visual perception that slows down the eye elongation process, which leads to nearsightedness. Taking eye protection from prevention to creating technology that can lead to relief for consumers, HONOR’s AI Defocus Eye Protection has been shown to decrease users’ transient myopia by 13 degrees on average after reading for 25 minutes, with some users experiencing a maximum reduction of 75 degrees.

Mitigating Fraud with AI Deepfake Detection

Circumventing the risks presented by cloud-based “deepfake” AI technology, HONOR has introduced AI Deepfake Detection. To help prevent fraud and detect digitally manipulated content, AI Deepfake Detection examines frame-by-frame information such as eye contact, lighting, image clarity, and video playback to identify flaws that are imperceptible to the human eyes.

Additionally, the AI Deepfake Detection has been trained through a large dataset of videos and images related to online scams, enabling the AI to perform identification, screening, and comparison within three seconds. If synthetic or altered content is detected by the feature, a risk warning is immediately issued to the user, deterring them from continued engagement with the potential scammers for their safety.
