Collaboration targets real-time on-device generative AI rendering for mobile devices and creative tools, optimized for performance and efficiency across device tiers.
BARCELONA, Spain, March 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TECNO, the AI-driven technology brand, today revealed its Edge-Side AIGC Preview Concept Technology at MWC 2026, developed in collaboration with Arm, the industry's highest-performing and most power-efficient compute platform. The partnership brings real-time, on-device generative AI to mobile devices and creative applications, while delivering significant efficiency gains that help scale these advanced experiences across various device tiers.
As generative AI moves from novelty to everyday utility, mobile access is being shaped by practical constraints, such as connectivity, latency and device processing power. Creative workloads are compute-intensive, many experiences rely on continuous internet access, and even minor latency can disrupt the user experience while photo editing or framing. Sustained AI processing also impacts device performance.
Edge AI is a key pillar of TECNO's broader AI strategy. TECNO has slimmed down complex algorithms and large models, improving efficiency through tailored solutions built on the Arm® compute platform. The result is real-time preview generation at 30fps, a split-screen interface making outputs more tangibly felt, and overall system performance improvements. Moreover, the preview experience utilizes 100% on-device AI, ensuring consistency regardless of network connectivity.
"Generative AI creativity only matters to users if the feedback is instant. We're optimizing the on-device pipeline so creators can preview, iterate, and produce without waiting. This enables a real-time, immersive experience that delivers better user satisfaction, stronger compatibility across device tiers, and ultimately makes TECNO's already-advanced imaging technologies even more compelling and intuitive," said Minjie Chen, PhD, Head of Imaging Algorithms Department, TECNO.
Real-Time, Split-Screen Preview at 30fps
TECNO undertook deep, low-level code construction and introduced a customized Style Transfer Preview technology that uses algorithmic optimization to reduce screen flickering and jitters commonly seen in traditional solutions. By migrating the inference pipeline to the Arm CPU, the Style Transfer Preview is real-time at 30fps and ensures a fluid split-screen viewfinder experience. As users move the camera, the viewfinder updates instantly, enabling immediate preview and confident composition without delay.
Model efficiency is another key focus. TECNO has compressed models to run fully offline on smartphones while preserving artistic fidelity. This model compression enhances practical utilization of the Arm CPU for compute-intensive tasks such as image restoration, ensuring stable performance ready for everyday use.
The Edge-Side AIGC Preview Concept Technology leverages advanced Armv9 CPU capabilities, seamlessly accessed through Arm Kleidi™AI. By leveraging the Armv9 CPU's specialized i8MM (Int8 Matrix Multiplication) instructions through KleidiAI, the collaboration accelerates core machine learning (ML) operations across mainstream frameworks. This synergy delivers 30% faster and more efficient AI compute, providing the robust foundation necessary for real-time, low-latency creative experiences.
"As generative AI moves from the cloud to the edge, the smartphone becomes the most important AI device in people's lives," said Steve Raphael, Senior Director, Smartphone Segment, Edge AI at Arm. "Armv9 CPUs deliver the sustained performance and efficiency required for real-time, on-device AI. Together with TECNO, we're showing that advanced creative experiences can run fully offline and at scale – bringing immersive, instant creativity to users everywhere."
As the industry shifts from cloud-first AI to edge-first creativity, TECNO is advancing on-device generative AI to reduce friction such as latency, buffering, and inconsistent performance. Through ongoing collaboration with Arm, the company aims to bring generative AI experiences—once confined to workstations—directly onto smartphones through on-device optimization and platform-level efficiency, making next‑generation creativity accessible to more users.

MELBOURNE, Australia, March 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bizcap has been recognised as one of Australia's Best Workplaces™ for Women 2026 by Great Place To Work®, the global authority on workplace culture. The prestigious list honours 50 organisations across Australia that are proving exceptional business performance and inclusive, equitable workplace culture go hand in hand.
The recognition follows a rigorous assessment process, including confidential employee feedback, detailed analysis of organisational culture, and insights from the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA). This data-driven evaluation ensures that recognised companies demonstrate a genuine and measurable commitment to advancing women in the workplace.
This focus has supported Bizcap's continued growth across multiple international markets.
The award comes after Bizcap was named one of the Best Workplaces™ in Australia in 2025.
Building a culture where women lead and thrive
Since its inception, Bizcap has been committed to building an inclusive, high-performance culture where people have equal access to opportunity and leadership. Bizcap's inclusion on the 2026 list recognises that commitment in action and the progress made in creating clear pathways for women to build enduring careers and step into senior leadership roles across commercial, operational and strategic functions that drive long-term value creation.
This has been supported through targeted leadership development, transparent performance frameworks, flexible work practices and a strong focus on psychological safety, ensuring women across the organisation are empowered to influence strategy, lead teams and drive measurable outcomes.
Rebecca del Rio, Bizcap's Deputy CEO (APAC) and Global Chief Revenue Officer, said the recognition reflects deliberate action rather than aspiration.
"At Bizcap, we believe high performance and inclusive leadership are inseparable. This recognition is a testament to the intentional work we've done to create an environment where women are empowered to lead, innovate and drive commercial outcomes," she said.
"When women have equal access to leadership pathways, our business benefits. Diverse perspectives strengthen our strategy, improve risk calibration, challenge conventional thinking and ultimately enhance our ability to compete. That philosophy extends beyond gender. From the very beginning, we have intentionally built teams with complementary strengths and experiences because diversity of thought makes us more innovative, more resilient and better aligned to the clients we serve."
Bizcap's Senior People and Culture Manager Kirsty Nixon said it was important to note that this recognition is grounded in direct employee feedback.
"It tells us our people feel supported and confident in their ability to grow here. From the beginning, our founders and senior leadership team have been aligned on building a true meritocracy, where advancement is driven by performance, capability and impact," she said.
"We hold our leaders to high standards in fostering that environment, ensuring opportunity is tangible, expectations are clear and performance is consistently recognised," said Bizcap's Co-Founder and CEO Zalman Blachman.
"Our People and Culture team plays a critical role as a partner to leadership, helping embed these standards across the organisation so they are experienced consistently at every level," he said.
What sets Bizcap apart
As a non-bank lender providing fast, flexible working capital to small and medium-sized businesses globally, Bizcap understands the value of agility, innovation and strong partnerships. Internally, this translates into:
- A culture of psychological safety where diverse perspectives are encouraged
- Clear career progression pathways and leadership development programs
- Flexible work arrangements that support performance and wellbeing
- Transparent remuneration and advancement frameworks
- Leadership development initiatives supporting women across commercial, operational and executive functions.
Rebecca Moulynox, General Manager of Great Place To Work Australia and New Zealand, said:
"These companies aren't just talking about gender equity, they're proving it works. They've created cultures where psychological safety, flexible work, and career development aren't buzzwords, they're business strategies delivering measurable results for employees and shareholders alike."
By maintaining clear standards of opportunity and advancement as it scales, Bizcap continues to demonstrate that strong culture drives strong performance.
