I'm Akshay Ballal — ML Researcher at ASML Research in Eindhoven, working on making AI agents cheaper and faster to run.
I build AI infrastructure and products, mostly in Rust and Python, under Starlight Search. I write about AI/ML at akshaymakes.com and on Medium.

Pulsar — an AI agent with its own computer. Every project gets a private Linux machine in the cloud with real files, a shell, a browser, and memory that persists between sessions. Describe a task in plain language, review every change before it's kept. Free tier, no API keys to bring. |

EmbedAnything — high-performance, memory-safe inference, ingestion, and indexing in Rust, distributed as a Python package. Local and cloud embeddings, ONNX runtime, end-to-end RAG pipelines. → embed-anything.com |

grug — shrink anything you feed an LLM, keep the words that change the answer. Deletes the padding in prompts, retrieved documents, and tool results while refusing to touch negations, numbers, names, code, and URLs — then verifies its own output. → pip install grugify |
