    • Smarter Devices, Faster AI: Inside Smallest.ai with Sudarshan Kamath

      Ever wondered what AI would look like if it lived on your phone instead of massive data centers? That's exactly what Sudarshan Kamal and his team at Smallest.ai are building––AI that runs right where you need it, faster than ever before.

      When most tech companies pour billions into bigger AI models, Sudarshan took a different path. His background building self-driving cars taught him something surprising: Smaller, focused AI models can often work better than their giant counterparts.

      His goal is to create AI that can help ordinary people navigate technology naturally, through simple voice conversations.

      In this conversation, we discuss

      • How running AI on your device could make it more personal and private

      • Why smaller models might be the key to making AI work for everyone

      • Real examples of voice AI improving customer service right now

      • A behind-the-scenes look at building one of the largest speech AI communities

      • A bold prediction: we'll soon have billions of specialized AI models instead of a few giant ones

        • Sudarshan believes the true breakthrough will come when we stop noticing AI altogether ––when it becomes as natural as searching on Google or using phone payments.
