| We introduce Shakti, a 2.5 billion parameter language model specifically optimized for resource constrained environments such as edge devices, including smartphones, wearables, and IoT systems.Shakti combines high-performance NLP with optimized efficiency and precision, making it ideal for real-time AI applications where computational resources and memory are limited. With support for vernacular languages and domain-specific tasks, Shakti excels in industries such as healthcare, finance, and customer service. Benchmark evaluations demonstrate that Shakti performs competitively against larger models while maintaining low latency and on-device efficiency, positioning it as a leading solution for edge AI. |
