The future is agentic (and it’s powered by you) 

2026 is the year of the agents. That was a main takeaway from Qualcomm President and CEO Cristiano Amon’s keynote speech. This shift is about so much more than prompting. Today, everyday people are leading the charge in the AI revolution. Consumers are enjoying agentic AI experiences across their favorite smartphones, PCs, and wearables. 
 
Agents haven't just arrived. They’re mainstream, redefining productivity and raising the bar on what’s possible tomorrow. As Cristiano said, as agents evolve, token demand is exploding—and projected to grow 40x by 2030. That means the future of AI depends less on how much compute we build and more on how intelligently we use it. We’re seeing a shift from heavy duty hardware to distributed always-on inference and smarter user experiences in real time.

The world needs platforms optimized for performance per watt and total cost per token at every tier. Count on Qualcomm to deliver.
