Week 71

What I pre-planned

• ai wearable
  • offline lightweight transcription ofr en, hi and gu
  • language detection model train
  • research of further usecases, problems, graph and plan
  • talk more about it
• build the lego technic set

What new did I learn

• different open source models in stt space
• ai4bharat has done good work, but again just bare minimum to stay relevent
  • most models are already out of date or not easily usable or working
• supply chain attacks (npm - shai hulud)
• prompt injection based credential leaking using agentic tools like antigravity
• making stateful animations is actually good using rive
  • tried and learnt rive
• powerpoint is as awesome as it can ever be

Where/How did I implement it

• ai wearable
  • language detection model trained succesfully
    • actual inference accuracy is not good, possible overfitting
  • whisper is not that fast and good locally for indic languages
  • tried multiple alternatives and finally used vosk
• tried rive but exports are paid and not worth the effort for that price
  • stuck to simplistic animations and flow for now in priority

Any memorable moments of the week

• ran 6.25 km for aditi’s 25th birthday on 25 nov 2025 (25th strava run)
• built 80% of the redbull racing lego tecnic f1 set with sis, kartik and aditi
  • it was so much fun, never spent an entire day doing one thing and enjoying it still
• long calls with homies
