Writing

Engineering notes

On-device intelligence — fast, private, hardware-native. Applied research for hardware-native AI inference. We publish claims with numbers when the run is sealed; this page is the log, not a scoreboard.

NPU graphs

Full-stack NPU inference on Qualcomm

Hand-written graphs so LLM, VLM, STT, TTS, and embeddings can run on the NPU instead of falling back to a generic runtime. Notes and kernels: contact@onchiplab.space.

Apple GPU

Speech-to-speech on the GPU kernels

The same metal-up stack now carries speech-to-speech. We write the kernels by hand; we do not borrow a generic audio graph.

Vision

Vision language models on Apple silicon

On-device VLMs on the GPU engine. Same C++ core, same bindings, models that never have to leave the machine.
