    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Runs frontier large language and vision-language models locally on Qualcomm devices using CPU, GPU, and NPU with minimal code.
    • Enables efficient on-device multimodal AI inference with broad hardware backend support including Qualcomm NPU and multiple model formats.
    • Use for deploying and running quantized LLMs and VLMs on Snapdragon-powered laptops or embedded devices for offline AI applications.
    • Use for building multimodal AI agents that process text, images, and audio inputs locally without cloud dependency.
    • Use for integrating an OpenAI-compatible API server to enable local AI model serving with function calling and streaming support.

    From the README

    Nexa SDK is an on-device inference framework that runs any model on any device, across any backend. It runs on CPUs, GPUs, NPUs with backend support for CUDA, Metal, Vulkan, and Qualcomm NPU. It handles multiple input modalities including text 📝, image 🖼️, and audio 🎧. The SDK includes an OpenAI-compatible API server with support for JSON schema-based function calling and streaming. It supports model formats such as GGUF, MLX, Nexa AI's own .nexa format, enabling efficient quantized inference across diverse platforms.
