Are you a final-year master’s student looking for a thesis project that blends real-world impact with cutting-edge tech?

At Framna, we are passionate about creating digital products that shape markets and make everyday life better - and we want you to be part of it.

Every year, we welcome a group of master’s students into our Stockholm studio to spend their final semester with us. You will sit alongside our developers, designers, testers, analysts, and product delivery leads, get a place to sit in our cozy office, and join our social and learning activities - from lunch-and-learns to our weekly Friday demos and AWs. It is a chance to do your thesis in a collaborative setting, surrounded by people who are happy to share what they know.

Background

As AI becomes increasingly integrated into mobile apps, there is a growing need to understand the trade-offs between on-device inference and cloud-based solutions.

On-device AI can offer advantages such as reduced latency, offline functionality, and improved privacy - but it is often limited by hardware constraints, energy consumption, and model size.

This thesis aims to explore these trade-offs by developing a benchmarking framework tailored to app-specific use cases. By testing different model architectures and configurations directly on mobile devices, the project will provide insights into how well current state-of-the-art models perform in practice, and under what conditions on-device AI is a viable alternative to cloud processing.

The results will help guide future product decisions, identifying best practices for deploying AI efficiently and effectively in real-world mobile applications.

What you will do

Some potential tasks within this thesis include:

• Developing a framework for benchmarking on-device AI model performance
• Comparing on-device inference with cloud-based alternatives
• Evaluating how different model architectures and configurations perform on mobile hardware
• Summarizing findings into best practices and recommendations

Who you are

This thesis may suit you if you:

• Are interested in edge AI and performance optimization
• Enjoy hands-on experimentation with machine learning models
• Care about privacy and sustainability
• Plan to start your master’s thesis project in January 2026
• Have the opportunity to work from our Stockholm studio
