I build products, not just code.

ABOUT

I'm Chaitanya, CS student at BITS Pilani, AI/ML researcher - while constantly vibe shipping. At 16, my technical writing hit 80k+ readers and front-paged Hacker News. That obsession never left. Today I'm founding Authos, shipping open source, and sitting somewhere at the frontier of what these models can actually do.

Authos

Founder & CEO

Search is changing faster than most marketing teams can keep up. Authos is built for what comes next.

An autonomous SEO and GEO agent that handles the full content and visibility pipeline - from traditional search rankings to getting cited by AI models like ChatGPT and Claude. Built for founders and small teams who can't afford to fall behind.

PROJECTS

LocalYapper

A privacy-first voice dictation tool that runs entirely on-device. No cloud, no API calls, no data leaving your machine - just local models that adapt to how you speak. Open source alternative to Wispr Flow and Superwhisper.

StemLM

A browser extension that injects a 2-3kb subject-aware playbook into any LLM query, routing the model through a subject-chapter-topic-subtopic tree. Response comes back keyed, extension captures it, matches keys, renders a structured step-by-step breakdown in split view.

IPL2026-LM

Post-toss, pre-ball IPL prediction engine. Ingests historical data, player context, venue signals, and live bookmaker markets into a structured ML pipeline built for decision-support, not benchmark chasing.

RESEARCH

EdgeLM

In progress

Independent

A from-scratch C inference engine pushing 3B-parameter LLMs to 100-120 tok/s on consumer Intel hardware - no discrete GPU. Combines BitNet 1.58-bit ternary quantization, hand-tuned AVX2/AVX-VNNI SIMD kernels, and hybrid CPU plus iGPU compute on hardware that currently manages 5-7 tok/s. Foundation for an upcoming research paper.

Can LLMs Be Computers?

In progress

Under the supervision of Dr. Dhruv Kumar · CSIS Department, BITS Pilani

An ongoing research collaboration investigating whether LLMs can natively replicate classical computing primitives - exploring 2D grid transformers, attention complexity reduction from O(n²) to O(n log n), and whether transformer architectures can simulate deterministic state machines.

ACHIEVEMENTS

Solve for Pilani

1st Place

BITS Pilani - Apogee Fest

Marketed a professor's campus bakery at BITS Pilani's Apogee Fest and generated ₹3L+ revenue in 5 days - with the lowest average order value in the room. Every other team ran cash only. We didn't.

BITSpreneur

3rd Place

BITS Pilani

Built Gurja, a bio-CNG system converting campus mess food waste into usable energy. Placed 3rd - then watched the idea get picked up by Blue Chip Food Management and go live on campus in 2025. The competition ended. The project didn't.

BEFORE BITS

Developernoon

Writing

Technical writing that front-paged Hacker News, hit 80k+ readers on freeCodeCamp, and earned Author of the Week on both Hashnode and daily.dev.

BEYOND THE CODE

When I'm not building —

MUSIC

Beatles to Bob Dylan to Peter Cat Recording Co at 2am. Rock, pop, and anything with a soul in it.

CHESS

1600 on chess.com. Decent enough to enjoy it, humble enough to lose interestingly. Play me sometime.

BOOKS

Currently: Sapiens. Generally: biographies, anything that reframes how I see things.

Cheers,
Chaitanya Prabuddha
