Global leading smart device brand OPPO has achieved a significant breakthrough by becoming the first
company to implement the Mix
ture of Experts (MoE) architecture on-device. This milestone enhances AI
processing efficiency, opens new possibilities for more advanced and flexible on-device AI, laying the
groundwork for future innovations in AI's integration with mobile hardware.
As AI technology continues to evolve, more tasks are being performed on-device. However, large AI
models require substantial computational power, which can impact performance, especially on devices
with limited hardware resources. In response, OPPO has collaborated with leading chipset providers to
implement the MoE architecture on-device to overcome these limitations.
The MoE architecture dynamically activates specialized sub-models (“experts”) to handle specific tasks,
thereby significantly improving processing efficiency and cutting down computing and data transfer
consumption. Lab tests reveal that on-device MoE architecture accelerates AI task speeds by
approximately 40%, reducing resource demands and improving energy efficiency. This means faster AI
responses, longer battery life and enhanced privacy as more tasks are handled locally on the device.

industry. As a result, The MoE architecture on-device opens new opportunities for the industry to make
advanced AI capabilities more accessible to a wider audience.
Looking ahead, OPPO remains committed to advancing AI technology and making it available to more
users. With over 5,860 patent applications in the AI field, OPPO continues to invest heavily in AI R&D.
The establishment of OPPO’s AI Center in 2024 serves as a key step in consolidating its AI research
efforts, furthering the company’s mission to provide high-quality AI experiences to users worldwide.
Through continued research like MoE and the global rollout of AI-powered features across its smartphone
lineup, OPPO aims to extend high-quality AI experiences to a broader audience, ensuring that AI
technology becomes more accessible to users across its device categories.
