OPPO has set a new industry standard in artificial intelligence (AI) technology by being the first company to successfully implement the Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture on a mobile device.
This milestone signals OPPO’s commitment to advancing on-device AI capabilities, enhancing efficiency, and pushing the boundaries of what mobile hardware can achieve in the AI space.
The Challenge of On-Device AI Processing
As AI technology becomes more integrated into our devices, the demand for greater on-device processing power grows.
Large AI models typically require high computational power, which can be a challenge, especially on devices with limited hardware resources.
To address this, OPPO has partnered with leading chipset providers, integrating MoE architecture on-device to bypass these hardware limitations.
The result is a more efficient and flexible AI model that can operate directly on mobile devices without relying on external cloud processing.
The Advantages of MoE Architecture
The MoE architecture is designed to dynamically activate specialized sub-models, or “experts,” tailored to handle specific tasks.

This feature significantly improves processing efficiency, reducing the need for extensive computational resources and decreasing data transfer consumption.
Lab tests have shown that MoE architecture can accelerate AI task speeds by around 40%, enhancing not only the device’s processing efficiency but also its energy consumption.
This translates to faster AI responses, improved battery life, and enhanced privacy, as tasks are handled locally on the device without needing to send data to the cloud.
A Leap Forward in AI Accessibility
OPPO’s implementation of the MoE architecture represents a significant advancement in making high-quality AI experiences available to a broader range of users.
