Samsung is deepening its work with South Korea–based AI specialist Nota AI as it prepares its next-generation Exynos 2600 chipset, with a strong focus on bringing powerful artificial intelligence directly onto smartphones. The expanded collaboration is designed to make advanced AI features run locally on devices, reducing dependence on cloud processing while improving speed, privacy, and energy efficiency on upcoming Galaxy flagship phones.
At the heart of this effort is Samsung’s 2nm Gate-All-Around
(GAA) Exynos 2600 processor combined with Nota AI’s model-compression software.
Nota AI’s NetsPresso platform can dramatically reduce the size of large AI
models—by as much as 90%—without sacrificing accuracy. This allows complex
generative and contextual AI tasks to function smoothly offline, even on mobile
hardware.
Bringing Large AI Models to the Device
The partnership also strengthens Samsung’s Exynos AI Studio,
a developer toolchain that streamlines how AI models are optimised and deployed
on Samsung silicon. Parts of the optimisation process are now being automated,
making it easier for developers to adapt modern generative AI models for
on-device execution rather than cloud-based inference.
Samsung and Nota AI have already worked together on earlier
Exynos platforms, including the Exynos 2400 and 2500, and the latest agreement
signals a long-term strategy to tightly integrate Samsung’s hardware
advancements with Nota AI’s software intelligence.
Highlights of the Exynos 2600 and Nota AI Collaboration
AI Model Efficiency: NetsPresso enables aggressive model
compression while maintaining performance and accuracy.
NPU Upgrade: The Exynos 2600 introduces a redesigned neural
processing unit that delivers over double the AI performance of its
predecessor.
Next-Gen Hardware: Manufactured using Samsung’s 2nm GAA
process, the chip features a 10-core CPU based on Arm v9.3 and an Xclipse 960
GPU.
Developer Ecosystem: Joint development of Exynos AI Studio
aims to simplify on-device AI deployment for app and platform developers.
Product Timeline: The Exynos 2600 is widely expected to
debut in the Galaxy S26 series, likely launching in early 2026.
By continuing its collaboration with Nota AI, Samsung is positioning the Exynos platform as a foundation for powerful, private, and always-available AI experiences, signalling a broader industry shift toward advanced on-device intelligence rather than cloud-first AI processing.
