CTO building small language models to help developers cut AI costs.

## About

Anurag Bhandari leads engineering at antelligent, where he helps teams cut AI costs using small language models. He focuses on swapping out expensive general-purpose LLMs for faster, task-specific discriminative models. Before this, he built high-volume systems for WooCommerce and Deel.

He cares about making AI practical for developers, often demonstrating how smaller models beat larger ones on classification tasks. When he isn't fine-tuning models or writing on his blog, he is a Strava cycling local legend around New Gurgaon.
