Overview
- The partners plan to run Camb.AI speech, translation, and text-to-speech models directly on Broadcom chips using on-device NPUs.
- They claim ultra-low latency, reduced wireless bandwidth use, and support for more than 150 languages through local processing.
- Manufacturers could add built-in translation, screen readers, and voice commands to smart TVs, set-top boxes, routers, and home assistants.
- A tightly edited demo using a Ratatouille clip showed dubbing and audio description, yet independent accuracy in real-world scenarios has not been verified.
- The project remains in testing with no rollout schedule, as Broadcom expands its AI efforts alongside work with OpenAI and Camb.AI points to collaborations with Comcast/NBCUniversal, IMAX, NASCAR, and Eurovision plus $18.5 million in funding.
