Samsung Strengthens Exynos AI Capabilities With Nota AI Optimization

Samsung has taken a major step to strengthen the on-device AI capabilities of its Galaxy smartphones. The company has teamed up with Nota AI to integrate AI model optimization technology into its latest application processor (AP), Exynos 2500. This move could help the firm to implement cutting-edge AI features directly on the device.

Nota AI offers AI model compression and optimization services via its NetsPresso platform. The company also works with semiconductor firms around the world to bring these on-device AI solutions to consumer products. The startup has now reached an agreement with Samsung’s System LSI division. Through this deal, it will provide its AI optimization technology for the Exynos 2500 chip.

Built on a 3nm Gate-All-Around (GAA) process, the Exynos 2500 offers improved performance and energy efficiency. While Samsung originally planned to use it in the Galaxy S25 series, yield issues delayed its launch. Over time, the company improved production yields and debuted the chip in the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Now, with AI optimization support from Nota AI, the firm appears to be planning to use the chip in future Galaxy devices.

Nota AI will provide its optimization technology for the Exynos chip through the AI development toolchain, Exynos AI Studio. This tool helps developers deploy their AI models efficiently on Exynos processors. “The integration of Nota AI’s optimization technology into Exynos AI Studio has enhanced the efficiency of on-device AI model development compared to previous generations,” said Chulmin Jo, Vice President of Mobile AP S/W Development at Samsung Electronics. “We are pleased with the strong results from this collaboration and look forward to continued advancements together.”

Meanwhile, Samsung has reportedly started mass production of its next-gen Exynos 2600 chip using a 2nm node. This chip may power the upcoming Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ in some regions.
