AI Model Factory

GAHNA - Generative Architecture for Hyperlocalized Neural Assistants - is a Small Language Models (SLMs) initiative led by Dr. Utpal Chakraborty to build & democratize purposeful AI Models for India. (Applied under the Govt. of India mission for building sovereign Foundational AI Models) - The Model is under construction...

Generative Architecture for Hyperlocalized Neural Assistants (GAHNA) - A Scalable Framework for Domain-Specific SLMs
Large Language Models have demonstrated significant advancements in generative AI; however, they remain unsuitable for tasks requiring deterministic behavior, explainability, domain grounding, and efficient deployment. GAHNA (Generative Architecture for Hyperlocalized Neural Assistants) proposes a novel scientific framework for developing sovereign Small Language Models using a multi-layered transformer micro-architecture augmented with structural inductive biases, rule-based synthetic pipelines, and hyperlocalized socio-linguistic embeddings. GAHNA's architecture is built for sub-billion parameter scale, optimizing generalization over structured representations while enabling task-specific reasoning. The system supports quantized deployment on CPUs, edge devices, and sovereign clouds, offering a scalable pathway for real-world agentic systems.
GAHNA proposes a departure from universal models toward micro-specialized SLMs trained to optimize for performance, control, and explainability within bounded problem domains. GAHNA emphasizes a shift toward compositional AI - where multiple SLMs operate as callable reasoning agents within orchestration pipelines.

🔹 Parameter Budget: 50M–150M parameters per SLM; optimized via low-rank matrix factorization and adaptive layer scaling.
🔹 Transformer Backbone: Hybrid encoder-decoder variants, with learned positional encodings and progressive attention masking.
🔹 Neural Inductive Biases: Structured positional fields, class-conditional attention masks, hierarchical token routing.
🔹 Domain Embedding: Injection of structural tokens to bias attention toward relevant features.
🔹 Hyperlocal Adaptation Layer: Fine-grained embedding projection layer integrating geographic, linguistic, and socio-economic priors.
🔹 Field-aware tokenization using pre-segmented BPE trained on structured profile corpora.
🔹 Mixed synthetic-supervised corpus constructed via programmatic eligibility trees and dependency graphs.
SLMs are the Real Future
🔹 SLMs Are the Brain Behind Agentic AI - Autonomous agents require fast, specialized decision-making SLMs are the perfect brain.
🔹 LLMs are Overkill for Most Use Cases - 90% of practical enterprise/government use cases don’t need 70B+ models. SLMs (50–500M params) are cheaper, faster, and more accurate in narrow domains.
🔹 Scalable: Many Models for Many Domains - Tomorrow's organizations won’t rely on one giant model. They will deploy a fleet of SLMs, HR-SLM, Finance-SLM, Legal-SLM, Governance-SLM, each fine-tuned to a purpose.
🔹 Deployable Anywhere (Edge, On-Prem, Air-Gapped) - SLMs can be run on laptops, edge devices, or inside government clouds, unlike LLMs that require large-scale GPUs and remote APIs.
🔹 Cheaper to Train, Fine-Tune & Audit - SLMs can be quickly retrained with new regulations, languages, or rules, perfect for evolving public-sector needs.
Why Sovereign & Indigenous AI Models Matter
🔹 Full Control over Architecture & Behaviour - Avoid dependency on foreign, black-box models. Know exactly how your AI thinks and acts.
🔹 Trained on Contextual & Local Data - Models that reflect your people, policies, languages, and use cases.
🔹 Data Residency & Regulatory Compliance - Ensures sensitive citizen or enterprise data never leaves national borders or organizational firewalls.
🔹 Customizability with Precision - Every domain has different needs - indigenous models can be tailored for those needs, unlike general-purpose LLMs.
🔹 Resilience & National Security - Prevent lock-in to foreign APIs and clouds. Build sovereign tech that works even when disconnected.
