This press release that announces mere “aims to achieve parity” has diminutive impact and merit compared to a hypothetical announcement where Qualcomm had “RELEASED an AI stack that HAS achieved parity;” now that would be substantial and newsworthy. Presentations like this are becoming endemic to tech companies, notably Intel which seems to be “biggering and biggering” events that present mere roadmaps, often touting products that are not to arrive for half a decade, or more. These companies have products today, so the most perplexing part is that transitioning from a “right direction” to a “right result” announcement cadence would take at most a single product cycle, and it seems like investors would be more willing to juice stock prices if companies were huffing and puffing about tangible results, rather than some hypothetical “direction” (since that is what this is really about). Perhaps the end goal is getting twice the bang-for-your-buck, in that you can pad out two or three of these all-important, anaemic, empty presentations with a single product from concept, to execution, to an actual release?

Best regards to the STH team!

Might have to license Qualcomm’s modem IP before you’re able to even view the documentation.
