About

I’m Akshit Kushwaha, founder of Q17 Private AI. I build Android-first private AI tools focused on local/offline inference, on-device models, image generation, voice, files, and AI agents. Q17 Private AI is my attempt to make powerful AI feel personal, private, and usable directly on Android phones without depending completely on cloud AI. I’m especially interested in small LLMs/VLMs, CPU/GPU inference, Vulkan/OpenCL acceleration, and practical privacy-first AI products for real users.
