Exynos 2600, the world's first 2nm smartphone chip, is expected to power the Galaxy S26 series. This new flagship chip was developed by Samsung's System LSI division and uses a more modern manufacturing process, new CPU cores, and an in-house GPU. Additionally, the company's NPUs have improved AI performance, thanks in part to optimization technology developed by South Korean company Nota AI.
Nota AI, a South Korean company specializing in optimization for lightweight AI models, has revealed that it has developed the Exynos 2600 in collaboration with Samsung. The company has signed an agreement with Samsung Electronics to provide Netspresso, an AI optimization platform technology that reduces the size of AI models by 90% while maintaining accuracy. Efficiently optimize and deploy AI models to a variety of hardware.
This technology enables app developers and users to use even larger AI models directly on their devices, without requiring an internet connection. Nota AI will also collaborate with Samsung to develop Exynos AI Studio, an AI optimization toolchain developed by Samsung.
The two companies also collaborated on improving the AI performance of the Exynos 2500 system-on-chip used in the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
Myungsu Chae, CEO of Nota AI, said:This collaboration represents a breakthrough in bringing our AI optimization technology to globally commercialized consumer devices. We've gone beyond just providing software; we've built a tightly integrated framework where AI hardware and software come together to deliver high-performance generative AI at the edge.”
