Qualcomm launches two new smartphone chips with emphasis on AI

2:34 AM IST · September 23, 2026

Qualcomm today announced two flagship smartphone processors, called Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, with a focus on facilitating better AI-focused features. At its annual Snapdragon Summit, Qualcomm said that the new chips can aid in improved personalization for AI agents. The chips have new sensing hubs that can run small models of up to 200 million parameters. With the new sensing hub, smartphones can run a personal scribe locally and differentiate between speakers. Plus, it can build memory based on your usage for better suggestions for automating tasks. The company said that it can run a complete voice-in and voice-out agent through the new chip. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 has a new accelerator element that’s designed to run models in a more efficient way. The high-end Extreme version can run a 30-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts (MoE) model locally. This means that while the overall model size is 30B, the model only activates a certain number of parameters for a particular task. For comparison, at its Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) in June, Apple releaseda 20-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts model, the most advanced of its third generation of foundation models. The new Qualcomm CPU also provides pixel-level control for cameras to facilitate more pro-level experiences, along with improved stabilization and motion understanding. The Extreme version can support video recording at 8K 60fps and at 4K240 for ultra HD slow-motion. It also enables the new Advanced Professional Video (APV) codec for pro-level recording. What’s more, both chips can use AI to boost vocals and reduce noise. Plus, it has Qualcomm’s new voice bubble tech, which isolates users’ noise during calls. At the event, Motorola announced its Motorola Signature 27 smartphone, powered by the Snapdragon Gen 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, with general availability sometime this year. Qualcomm has been working onmore than 40 AI devices, but there is still a belief that a lot of people will use their phones for AI rather than other dedicated devices. Nothing co-founder Carl Pei has hinted at this trend in the past, and more recently, new Apple CEO John Ternus reinforced the same line of thought during the iPhone Duo launch earlier this month.

OpenAI launches GPT-6 Sol and Luna, boasting lower cost and fewer mistakes

Earlier this month, OpenAIlaunched GPT-6 Astra, which it heralded as its most powerful and capable model yet, and the “world’s best model” for a variety of activities, including computer work and coding. Now, the lab is expanding the GPT-6 generation with updated versions of the smaller Sol and Luna models. “GPT-6 Astra introduced a new generation of intelligence; these models extend its benefits by making that intelligence more efficient and accessible,” the company writes. The first models in the Sol and Luna series were introducedearlier this year, representing different tiers in OpenAI’s hierarchy of models. Sol is designed for complex tasks like coding, while OpenAI says Luna is more appropriate for clerical work — “high-volume tasks with a clear goal, like summarizing documents, extracting information, or answering quick questions.” OpenAI is also emphasizing big improvements in efficiency and affordability — most notably, via a substantial price drop for API access. The 6 series models will be available at half the cost of the 5.6 series of Sol and Luna, a price drop that OpenAI attributes to improvements in caching and inference. OpenAI also claims that its newest models are better at producing answers that are factually accurate, and notes that they have a lower error rate when it comes to coding. “On our internal factuality evaluation, which is based on de-identified real-world conversations where users flagged mistakes by our models, GPT-6 Sol makes about half as many mistakes as its predecessor, reaching Astra-level reliability at much lower cost,” the announcement reads. As is typical with OpenAI’s new model releases, the company is claiming that its newest offerings outshine those of its primary competitor, Anthropic. The company repeatedly claims that GPT-6 Sol and Luna handle tasks substantially better than Anthropic’s top models — like Fable and Opus. Notably, Anthropic releaseda new version of Opus 5.5just 90 minutes before OpenAI’s release, reflecting the intense competition between the two companies. The new versions of Sol and Luna are now available in ChatGPT Work and Codex for most paid accounts, and in the ChatGPT API, while Luna will be available in the desktop app and for Free and Go users. OpenAI expects to roll out the models to ChatGPT (the app and website) gradually throughout the day.

Meta admits Muse’s likeness to OpenClaw isn’t a coincidence

Early adopters of Meta’s Muse have been speculating that the reason the AI works so well is because it’s OpenClaw under the hood, wrapped in a more consumer-friendly package. Meta now says those comparisons aren’t entirely off-base. According to anX postby Nat Friedman, head of product at Meta’s Superintelligence Labs (MSL), Muse was “definitely heavily inspired as a product by OpenClaw.” However, he clarified that Muse itself was “built from scratch.” Friedman, the former GitHub CEO whojoined Meta last yearalongside Meta’s Chief AI OfficerAlexandr Wang, said that the team at Meta had fallen in love with OpenClaw and wanted Muse to be “something like OpenClaw” that could be scaled to billions of people. Because OpenClaw is anopen sourceproject, it wouldn’t be surprising that Meta looked to it for inspiration, especially given itsbreakout success, which promptedOpenAI to snatch up its creatorearlier this year. However, it speaks to Meta’s well-known playbook that involves taking promising products, thencopying their best features— something it did most notoriously withSnapchat’s invention of the stories format. Friedman’s statement on X was made in response to a post that had gone viral among the AI crowd, whereAnsh Nanda, an AI app co-founder, claimed that “Muse is LITERALLY OpenClaw for normies.” Nanda’s X post had included a conversation with Muse, where the AI agent said that the similarity between its own system files and those belonging to OpenClaw was not just “a coincidence” but rather “a match.” Soon, this thread (and X more broadly) began blowing up as others shared their own comparisons and findings. For instance, one personpointedout that Muse also had a SOUL.md file, the plain text configuration file (written in a simple formatting language called Markdown) that defines an AI agent’s personality, communication style and tone, values, behavioral boundaries, and expertise. A third notedthat the files weren’t just named the same between the two assistants; their content was almost entirely the same. Following his X post, Friedman also responded to a question about why Muse had copied the exact file names that made up the AI agent’s workspace and had “nearly identical content” for the SOUL.md file. Instead of disputing these claims, Friedman simply replied that “we thought that Peter [Steinberger, OpenClaw’s creator] got those things exactly right.” “We built Muse from scratch, but it is definitely heavily inspired as a product by OpenClaw. After I used OpenClaw in January, I bought hundreds of Mac minis for the MSL team, and lots of us fell in love with using OpenClaw (and other personal agents), Friedman said on X. (TechCrunch has corrected Friedman’s punctuation for readability.) “@steipete [Peter Steinberger] is a genius, and his harness was pioneering from the jump. I think a lot of people were inspired by it. Our goal with Muse was to build something like OpenClaw that we could make safe and secure and easy to use and scale to billions of people,” he wrote. The Muse app has been something of a hit so far, having recently hit No. 1 on the U.S. App Store. Data indicates that it’s nowoutpacing ChatGPT’s launchwhen the platforms and market availability are compared directly. Reached for comment, a Meta spokesperson pointed to Friedman’s statement, saying the company had nothing more to add beyond that.
