The research behind practical private AI

We build on peer-reviewed work, not hype. This is a curated, searchable library of the papers that shape how we deploy Small Language Models, retrieval, and automation — readable here, in full, straight from arXiv.

Why this matters

Decisions grounded in evidence, not trends.

The fastest way to waste money on AI is to follow fashion. The techniques below are what let organizations deploy AI that is secure, affordable, and genuinely useful — and they inform every engagement we take on.

Right-sized models

Evidence that small, specialized models can match larger ones on focused tasks — at a fraction of the cost and latency.

Grounded knowledge

Retrieval techniques that let models answer from your controlled sources instead of memorized, unverifiable weights.

Efficient adaptation

Fine-tuning and distillation methods that make domain customization practical on infrastructure you govern.

Small Language Models are the Future of Agentic AI

Belcak, Heinrich, Diao, Molchanov, et al. · NVIDIA Research

A position paper arguing that small, specialized models are powerful enough, more suitable, and far more economical than large general models for the repetitive tasks agents actually perform. Includes a practical LLM-to-SLM conversion algorithm.
