I'm excited to share that Qualcomm is acquiring Modular: this will accelerate our path to unifying accelerated compute with an open platform. This will also mark a new era in open software development for Qualcomm. In a world with a tremendous amount of innovative heterogenous AI hardware, there has always been a gap: existing fragmented software technologies weren't built to scale effectively across this hardware. This gap holds back innovation and choice, and make development painful. Modular was founded 4.5 years ago to solve this problem. We've already integrated support for several hy
