## 01 · Who we are

RuVI Labs is a small, independent research lab based in India. We design, train and release language models end to end: architecture, data, training and inference, with no borrowed foundations.

We build for the people who will actually use the models: students, developers, and teams working with limited compute. If a model can't run where its users are, it isn't finished.

*Small lab, serious work.*

## 03 · Our principles

<table>
<tr>
<td width="33%" align="center">

**◼ Open weights**

Free to use, free to build on.

</td>
<td width="33%" align="center">

**◻ Open data**

Nothing hidden in the corpus.

### What "from scratch" means to us

- **Own architecture.** Designed and implemented in-house.
- **Own training run.** Pretrained by us on data we can document.
- **Own tooling.** Training, evaluation and inference code built and released alongside the weights.

### What "open" means to us

- Weights you can download, run and modify.
- A data recipe you can inspect and question.
- Honest reporting, including what didn't work.

## 04 · What we believe

> **Good models are *different*.**

**I.** Trained to perform differently.
**II.** Built with the motive to undo what we assume is possible in AI.
**III.** Made to achieve, and made to perform.

---

## 05 · What we're working on

- 🔨 **Pretraining the Pragya family** on open data
- 🧪 **Efficient architectures** that make small models punch above their size
- 🧪 **Quantization and fast inference** so models run on modest hardware
- 🧪 **Open evaluation**: transparent benchmarks and model cards

## 08 · FAQ

**Are the models really trained from scratch?**
Yes. Architecture, pretraining and tooling are our own. Some Models are LoRA

**Can I use the weights commercially?**
Check the license on each model card. Our goal is permissive, open release.

**Can I contribute?**
Yes. Open a discussion on any repo here, or reach out below.

<!-- TODO: confirm the license answer once licenses are final -->
