Either it’s chronological and you’re drowning in noise, or it’s ranked by an algorithm optimizing for engagement, not your actual interests. You scroll past 90% of what you see, hoping something relevant catches your eye before the dopamine loop wins. The usual solutions don’t help much. RSS gives you firehose-level control but no ranking. Keyword filters are blunt — blocking “crypto” also hides legitimate cryptography research. https://kshreyas.dev/post/voxtral-realtime/ Mon, 16 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://kshreyas.dev/post/voxtral-realtime/ Most speech-to-text models work like a translator reading an entire letter before responding — they need the full audio clip before they can produce any text. But what if your model could transcribe speech as it’s being spoken, word by word, with barely any delay? That’s exactly what Voxtral Mini 4B Realtime does. Released by Mistral AI under the Apache 2.0 license, it’s a 4-billion parameter model that can transcribe audio in real-time with delays as low as 80 milliseconds. https://kshreyas.dev/post/ai-agents/ Thu, 04 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000 https://kshreyas.dev/post/ai-agents/ Imagine if, just like the Avengers, a team of specialized AI agents could come together, each with its unique strengths, to tackle complex problems. This isn’t a scene from a sci-fi movie; it’s the reality of modern artificial intelligence. In the world of AI, assistants and agents work in unison, much like a well-coordinated superhero team. Each AI agent, equipped with specific skills — be it data analysis, autonomous decision-making, or predictive analytics — joins forces to form a formidable swarm, ready to take on tasks ranging from mundane to monumental. https://kshreyas.dev/post/local-llms/ Thu, 30 Nov 2023 17:22:27 -0800 https://kshreyas.dev/post/local-llms/ Introduction The rapidly evolving AI era presents new discoveries daily, particularly in software engineering, where AI assistants are now integral to our workflows. While these innovations have boosted productivity, they also bring challenges like: Reliance on cloud-based services and closed models 🛅 Privacy and security concerns 🔒 Other barriers to entry 🚧 The Challenge of Cloud-Based and Proprietary Models According to the Chatbot arena leaderboard the top entries with high Elo ratings are all proprietary models. https://kshreyas.dev/post/about/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://kshreyas.dev/post/about/ AI to Z: Navigating the Alphabet Soup Notes from my journey into the world of engineering, AI, NLP, and productivity tools.
