🔬 Parmanu (Hindi for Atom) is live.
Parmanu is part of the Computational Social Systems (LCS2) @lcs2lab at IIT Delhi, led by Prof. Tanmoy Chakraborty @Tanmoy_Chak , and is our dedicated home for Efficient Large Language Models (LLMs) and Small Language Models (SLMs).
We’re at a turning point in AI. The future won’t be defined by scaling alone - it will be shaped by efficiency, accessibility, and real-world deployability. Parmanu is our effort to push this efficiency-first vision forward. ✨🤖

Why Parmanu matters 🔥
• 📚 A centralized hub for our research, with papers accepted at ICLR, ICML, NeurIPS, TACL, ACL, and TMLR
• 🛠️ Open access to tools, code, and artifacts spanning model compression, KV efficiency, PEFT, inference optimization, knowledge distillation, and model coordination
• 🧠 A growing ecosystem focused on making strong language models smarter per parameter, not just larger
What this means for the community
For researchers 👩🔬👨🔬
A curated, evolving resource tied to top-tier venues
Reproducible artifacts and principled problem formulations
A shared space to advance efficiency-centric LLM research
For practitioners 👩💻👨💻
Practical techniques to deploy LLMs under tight latency and memory budgets
Faster paths from paper → production
Tools that actually work under real deployment constraints
What’s coming in 2026 🚀🔮
• 📊 Efficient LLM/SLM leaderboards
• 🧪 Open-sourced efficient LLM artifacts
• ⚙️ More tools for compression, distillation, and inference
• 🤝 Deep integration with Hugging Face and other popular libraries
If you’re excited about efficient, sustainable, and scalable AI, check out Parmanu, share feedback, and collaborate with us. The next wave of LLMs won’t just be bigger - they’ll be leaner, faster, and more impactful. 🌟

🚀 Today I gave a keynote at ACM COMPUTE on “Rebooting NLP Teaching in the LLM Era”.

I proposed a 42-hour NLP curriculum that fuses classical statistical NLP with modern LLMs.
I'd love to hear feedback, perspectives, or experiences from the NLP community — how are you approaching NLP education today? 🙌

If it were iPhones that were leaving the factory with explosives inside, the media would be a hell of a lot faster to cotton on to what a horrific precedent has been set today. Nothing can justify this. It's a crime. A crime. And everyone in the world is less safe for it.
This is not just inane but also irresponsible for an influential person to put out. Typical techbro posturing passed off as intellectual inquisitiveness.
As news reports come in on the withdrawal of the Broadcasting Services (Regulation) Bill, 2024, I would like to thank everyone who reported, worked and educated others on its dangerous provisions. This is a broad coalition of diverse individuals, groups and organisations who have stood up and asked the government for transparency and contested political censorship.
My own assessment is that these reports indicate merely a retreat and an official ministerial statement or admission in parliament is necessary for confirmation. However, small victories do matter and it’s important to pause and cheer for public accountability.
Hope that the MIB practices the Pre-Legislative Consultation Process (PLCP) in letter and spirit for future legal proposals. I hope to continue providing a political economy framing and a detailed legal analysis that advances policy and public deliberation.
@AnarchicAskhole there are nilgai, deer, snake and mongoose as well, but the monkeys are causing me to rant here, it's bad, they get into locked hostel rooms and just ransack the entire place, the list goes on
