Become a sponsor to Darshan vichhi (Aarambh)
Hi, I'm Darshan Vichhi 👋
I build open-source AI and systems software in Rust through Aarambh Dev Hub.
My work focuses on understanding and implementing the complete AI engineering stack—from model architecture and training to inference, local-first memory, developer tooling, and technical education.
Current Work
Aarambh AI
A ground-up language-model engineering project built with Rust and Candle. It covers tokenization, model construction, training, fine-tuning, alignment, quantization, evaluation, multimodal input, safety, tool use, and OpenAI-compatible serving.
Manas
An experimental local AI brain written from scratch in Rust. Manas explores continual learning, associative memory, neural growth, anti-forgetting systems, and storing learned knowledge directly in neural-network weights while running on an ordinary laptop CPU.
Aarambh Dev Hub
I publish practical videos and technical deep-dives about Rust, systems programming, backend engineering, language models, and AI infrastructure.
Why Sponsor My Work?
Sponsorship helps fund:
- GPU access for training and experiments
- Benchmarking, CI, and testing infrastructure
- Documentation and reproducible demonstrations
- Continued maintenance of open-source projects
- Free technical videos and educational resources
I want to publish honest engineering work—not only polished demos, but also limitations, failed experiments, benchmarks, and lessons developers can learn from.
My long-term goal is to make advanced AI systems easier to study, reproduce, modify, and run independently.
1 sponsor has funded aarambh-darshan’s work.
Reaching 5 sponsors will help fund GPU experiments, CI infrastructure, benchmarks, and documentation for Aarambh AI, Manas, and other open-source Rust AI projects.
