MediaTek Optimizes Dimensity Chipsets for Microsoft Phi3.5 AI Models

Ondevice generative AI performance has been improved by MediaTeks optimisation of its Dimensity 9400, 9300, and 8300 chipsets for Microsofts Phi3.5 AI

Ondevice generative AI performance has been improved by MediaTeks optimisation of its Dimensity 9400, 9300, and 8300 chipsets for Microsofts Phi3.5 AI models. The MoE Mixture of Experts, Mini, and Vision models in the Phi3.5 series support picture comprehension, multilingual activities, and specific instructionbased processes. MediaTeks neural processing units NPUs are used in these optimisations to boost throughput, decrease latency, and use less power. Its 16x3.8 billion parameters 6.6 billion active in regular operation allowed Phi3.5 MoE to exceed GPT4o mini on the SQuALITY benchmark for summarisation accuracy. Through Hugging Face, Azure AI Model Catalogue, or MediaTeks NeuroPilot SDK, developers can utilise these models to create sophisticated applications for MediaTekpowered devices, facilitating practical generative AI activities on mobile platforms.
