Pratilekha.

Pratilekha (प्रतिलेख) is a family of lightweight Indic Speech-to-Text models fine-tuned from OpenAI Whisper using LoRA adapters. Designed for edge and mobile inference, they deliver ~20% better accuracy than Whisper-1 on Indic benchmarks with sub-200ms latency.

Is large context window all you need?

Anuran Roy, Saptarshi Pani, Arnab Sengupta, Alchemyst Labs

This paper examines the trade-offs between context sizes and latencies, highlighting the need for improved context retrieval strategies that do not bloat query sizes to the concerned Large Language Models.

BrevityBench: Measuring Intelligence per Dollar for Language Models and Agent Harnesses

Anuran Roy, Akash Kundu, Vedanta Banerjee, Khushi Mhasange, Saptarshi Pani, Debayan Pradhan

A benchmark measuring intelligence per dollar across knowledge work, coding, memory retention, and content writing — for both raw models and model-harness combinations — using atomic task checkpoints, hidden evidence-anchored rubrics, and a token-level cost ledger that attributes every dollar spent.

Generative UI

The next frontier of interaction.

For the last 50+ years, interfaces have been THE BIGGEST bottleneck for natural human-machine interaction. Interactions with AI systems should feel as natural as extending your hand. Traditional UI does not.

Hybrid Compute

Optimizing intelligence per dollar.

We are working toward AI systems that make deliberate choices about where intelligence runs: in the browser, on local hardware, or through online inference. Our aim is to balance capability, latency, and cost so that each task gets the intelligence it needs without unnecessary compute spend.

ONE EXAMPLE, ALREADY ON THIS SITE

Press ⌘K and ask a question. On supported browsers, our assistant can run a local language model through WebLLM, directly in your browser. You can also switch to a free-tier model through OpenRouter within the same interface.

This is one expression of the direction we are exploring: combining local and online inference to optimize intelligence per dollar.

Browser-local inference requires a compatible browser and an initial model download. Search and context-retrieval tools still use network services.
