New android app "BadukAI"

Can it be compatible with 8Elite chip? The latest phone (iQOO 13) has been released.
My friend purchased one, but it seems that they cannot use the 18b weight. I am curious about how fast it is~

The latest version https://github.com/aki65/aki65.github.i ... ag/v1.20.9 works on 8 Elite chip.

Will there be any updates soon?

For example, new weights, new engines (1.16.0), or new features?

I'm working on a slightly improved weight optimization. When it's ready, I will publish new weights.

I'm also implementing a new feature, but it's difficult to explain without seeing it, so I will postpone any description until it's ready.

Katago 1.16.0 is on my todo list, but with low priority since the main changes relate to the metal backend and the training process, which are both not relevant for BadukAI.

Recently, a new mobile phone REDMI Turbo 4 Pro was released, which uses the 8sGen4 chip. I installed and tested it, and found that it cannot load DLC weights. What could be the reason? Is it because the chip does not support it?

[akigo]

According to Qualcomm's release notes the new chip isn't supported yet. I expect, that it will be added soon.

The latest release at https://github.com/aki65/aki65.github.i ... g/v1.20.13 is built with Qualcomm's latest NPU drivers (as of 2025-04-30), so you could have a try with the Snapdragon 8s gen 4 (although it's still not mentioned in the release notes)

Oh, it works! When using fd3, the speed is about 200v/s, which is in line with expectations.

Thank you!
