Machine Intelligence
Exploring the frontier of on-device and edge AI — vision-language models, retrieval-augmented generation, agentic workflows, cryptography, and beyond.
On Edge-AI
Intelligence that runs at the edge — on your phone, your laptop, your hardware. No cloud required.
On-Device Vision-Language Models
Running multimodal models like SmolVLM directly on iPhone and Mac hardware. Spatial document understanding, IRS form parsing, and visual reasoning — all without a server.
Agentic Tool Orchestration
Multi-tier model classification that automatically adapts tool-calling strategies based on model capabilities. From native function calls to ReAct prompting to raw text interception — one orchestrator handles them all.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation
The Avishkaar benchmark evaluates RAG systems for financial analysis — measuring text similarity, structural quality, and predictive accuracy across multiple LLM backends.
Technical Foundations
The building blocks behind our products.
llama.cpp Integration
Native Swift wrappers around llama.cpp's C API and mtmd vision encoder. Metal-accelerated inference on Apple Silicon with quantized GGUF models that fit in mobile memory budgets.
MCP Ecosystem
Model Context Protocol adoption for extensible tool access. Auto-discovery, meta-tool expansion, stdio transport delegation, and per-server capability caching.
Spatial OCR & Document AI
Combining Apple Vision framework OCR with spatial layout analysis to extract structured data from complex IRS forms — understanding not just text, but where it appears on the page.
Secure On-Device Storage
AES-256-GCM encryption with Secure Enclave key management. Biometric gating, Keychain integration, and WAL-mode SQLite for concurrent read/write without corruption.
Publications
Optical Air-Gapped Cryptography
Research on air-gapped key exchange and secure communication using optical channels — bridging physical isolation with cryptographic guarantees for high-security environments.
Our Philosophy
The most powerful AI is the one you can trust. We believe that means running on your hardware, under your control, with your data never leaving your device. The silicon in your pocket is more capable than most people realize — our job is to unlock it.
