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.
