We believe in the trinity: model, inference stack, hardware.
Companies that focus on a single component of this trinity lack sovereignty and are constrained by the architectural choices made by others.
Most labs treat on-device models as scaled-down versions of their cloud-focused cousins. But LLM architectures that evolved for the cloud are not well-suited to on-device setups. Cloud LLMs operate in the arithmetic-bound regime. Mainstream architectures aim to maximise total token throughput by reducing the amount of computation performed per request, and they treat device memory as an unlimited resource. But for on-device deployment, memory is the main bottleneck, both in terms of throughput and the size of the resident set.
When designing our on-device architecture, we focus on three core objectives: increasing the arithmetic intensity of the decoding stage, reducing the size of the resident set, and maximally utilising the GPU neural accelerators. This leads us to models that differ from traditional autoregressive transformers in a number of meaningful ways.

The Hands In mission is simple: to eliminate payment hurdles like ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐ฑ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐๐ณ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ณ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐, drive ๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐น ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฒ for our business partners, and create smoother transactions that improve customer satisfaction.

Travel transactions declining due to insufficient funds make up to on average 5% of all failing payments, contributing to millions lost in revenue at the checkout every month. Additionally, 59% of travelers travel together in groups every year but cannot split the payment.
And thats exactly what Hands In wants to solve...
Weโve designed three groundbreaking features to tackle these issues head-on:
โข ๐ ๐๐น๐๐ถ-๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐: Customers can easily split costs across multiple cards, allocating amounts and authorizing each payment in seconds.
โข ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฝ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐: Whether itโs friends booking a trip or colleagues organizing an event, peers can join the same transaction and pay their shareโno more chasing people down for reimbursement.
โข ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐: Customers can split payments across multiple cards if their original payment method is declined due to insufficient funds, allowing two card transaction retries, versus just one.
๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฆ๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐:
Generating over $30M in incremental sales for clients in 2025.
