Qualcomm buys Modular for $4 billion to advance AI software
Summary
Qualcomm has agreed to buy Modular for about $4 billion in stock. The deal gives Qualcomm access to software that helps run AI models across different chips without rewriting code for each processor. That positions Qualcomm against CUDA and strengthens its push into data centers, edge computing, and AI infrastructure. The acquisition also expands an open developer ecosystem and could help customers deploy AI more flexibly across heterogeneous hardware. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of the year, pending approvals and closing conditions.
