New AI Project '169Pi' Highlighted on Social Media
The AI project 169Pi ($PIE) is gaining attention on social media as a potentially undervalued play on Solana. The project is noted for having a doxxed team with Forbes 30 Under 30 founders, government backing, and US enterprise pilots. Its technology is described as a 4-bit quantized AI inference model optimized for Solana hardware.
- The founding team includes brothers Rajat and Chirag Arya, who were featured in the Forbes India 30 Under 30 Class of 2025 for their work on AI innovation. Their startup, based in San Francisco and founded in 2023, is currently unfunded. - An early user of 169Pi's technology is the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), which is testing a PDF agent developed by the company. - The project's "Alpie-Core" model utilizes 4-bit quantization, which can reduce a model's size by up to 75% compared to 16-bit precision, allowing it to run on less powerful hardware and significantly lowering energy consumption. - Performance benchmarks for Alpie-Core claim a 92.75% score on GSM8K for mathematical problem-solving, 81.28% on MMLU for language understanding, and a 12% higher score on SWE-Bench for coding tasks compared to competitors. - The technology is designed to be developer-friendly with an OpenAI-compatible API and features a 65K context length for handling large amounts of information. - The project was inspired by the co-founders' observation of a Western bias in existing large language models, leading them to create AI solutions focused on Indian and other regional contexts.
