Stop routing docstrings to 70B models with on-device AI on Snapdragon | BRKSP90
On Device AI Edge AI Inference routing Model quantization Snapdragon NPU LLM optimization AI cost reduction Microsoft build 2026 Edge inference Model routing
This session from Microsoft Build 2026 demonstrates how to implement a three-tier AI inference routing architecture using Snapdragon X2 Elite's 80 TOPS NPU, routing simple tasks like docstrings to on-device models (≤13B params) while reserving cloud 70B+ models for complex reasoning. Developers building AI coding assistants will learn to cut cloud tokens by 67% and latency by 70% while keeping most code processing local.
