Qualcomm used its Snapdragon Summit to demo PrismML’s 1-bit Bonsai LLM running locally on smart glasses built on the Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 platform.
The model packs 2 billion parameters and is tuned for vision and language, letting wearers ask in real time what they are looking at.
PrismML says its approach shrinks larger models by 4x while preserving nearly all benchmark performance, aiming to make small on-device AI more practical.
That release advances PrismML’s push for open-weight AI as an alternative to cloud-dependent proprietary systems, though no smart glasses using the model have been announced.
