What changed from existing technology?
This study introduces a new chip design that allows large language models to run efficiently on devices like smartphones and robots, solving problems with memory and data transfer.
Cambricon-FlexLLM is the first chiplet-based hybrid architecture that combines an NPU with a dedicated NAND flash chip for efficient on-device 70B LLM inference.

What still needs to be solved?
Repeated real-world validation, manufacturability, cost, and long-term stability still require follow-up evidence.
What could change if this succeeds?
This architecture could enable efficient on-device inference of large language models on edge devices with limited memory and bandwidth.
