i received $10k in my aws account through the YC startup school program - but I have not been able to get access to bedrock models.
kinda defeats the whole purpose if I am not able to use ANY models.
quotas on all models is set to 0. AWS won't approve anything.

presenting kriti ๐ค 119m ๐ณ๐ต
nepali is spoken by millions, yet remains underrepresented in modern speech models. many existing systems are large, inaccurate, or difficult to run on everyday hardware.
we built kriti for researchers, developers, and communities working with nepali speech.
kriti is a 119m parameter nepali asr model built featuring deterministic pruning, runtime embedding compaction, and a lightweight acoustic punctuation head.
kriti ranks #1 among completed open systems, achieving a 24.08% punctuation-insensitive wer while remaining compact enough for cpu inference.
the github repository includes the architecture, training methodology, evaluation protocol, reproducible code, results, limitations, and complete attribution.
the model and weights are available on hugging face.
if youโre from nepal, or know someone building for nepal, share this with them. ๐ณ๐ต
