Founder, Mistyoz AI  ·  AI Researcher and Engineer

Hey, I'm Akhil, a 20-year-old CSE (AI & ML) student at Manipal University Jaipur (Class of 2027) and founder of Mistyoz AI. I build language models, AI systems, and research tools from scratch, with experience in compact LLMs, model architecture design, on-device inference, content safety, and developer tooling. My work includes the CosmicFish family of language models, reasoning architectures, and moderation systems, covering the full pipeline from data preparation and pretraining to fine-tuning and deployment. I'm particularly interested in efficient AI, reasoning systems, audio AI, edge AI, and machine learning infrastructure.

Open to internships, research opportunities, and collaborations.

CosmicFish-HRM: Adaptive Reasoning via Hierarchical Recurrent Mechanisms in Compact Language Models
arXiv:2605.28919  ·  2026
Large language models have achieved strong reasoning capabilities, though often at the cost of massive parameter counts and expensive inference. This work explores a different direction: adaptive reasoning depth in compact language models. CosmicFish-HRM is built around a Hierarchical Reasoning Module that dynamically allocates computational effort during inference, iterating through high-level and low-level reasoning cycles and learning when to halt based on input complexity. The model learns non-uniform reasoning behavior, allocating different numbers of reasoning steps across tasks and inputs, suggesting that adaptive reasoning depth may offer a promising alternative to relying solely on parameter scale.
