as posted by the channel

What if generative AI models could run directly on your smartphone, creating images, video, and voice instantly—without relying on the cloud?

In this episode, Jennifer Li, General Partner at a16z, explains why on-device AI is poised to take center stage in 2025. Thanks to smaller, more efficient models and increasingly powerful devices, AI-powered experiences will become faster, more seamless, and more private.

From real-time voice agents to AR-powered cameras and smarter wearables, Jennifer explores how this shift unlocks new consumer and B2B applications. She also dives into the challenges, economics, and players that stand to benefit from this evolution.
