I've got 2 highly fundamental projects I see as both undervalued with teams that have impressive accolades and come across as low risk.

$PIE - Alpie Core is a frontier 32B 4-bit quantized reasoning model from
@169Pi_ai ... India's first at this scale rivaling or beating GPT-4o/Claude 3.5 Sonnet on reasoning, coding (57.8% SWE-Bench), and math benchmarks while using a whopping 75% less memory, 3x faster inference, and 10x cheaper. Trained on 8 H100 GPU.
Alpie playground powers production AI agents via its unified reasoning API that is already driving real-world gains like,
- Deep Research Agent: 34% accuracy, 3.2x faster synthesis
-PDF Analysis Agent: 92% legal docs, 87% scientific papers, 91% financial reports
Runs 3x faster, 10x cheaper than frontier models, deployable on consumer GPUs 8x H100. No massive infra needed. Ideal base layer for scalable, sustainable agent economies on-chain or off.
And their native platform utility token powers this with priority access, incentives, platform credits, discounted inference, unlock workspace features, extended memory, model labs and much more.
The team are doxxed. Rajat worked at Netflix and Snapchat then left and founded Spheric; Spheric was a blockchain-focused tech services company he co-founded (around 2020–2023 timeframe), specializing in delivering tech, product, and infrastructure solutions, particularly for clients in North America and the Middle East.
He was also involved with building LotanChain Achieving up to 65,000 TPS.
Both the founders have been features in Forbes 30 U 30 as the only AI start up.
Are media partners with NDTV where they were present at Davos and India's largest AI summit as a speaker.
Are partnered with ISRO (Equivalent of NASA in India) a strategic collaboration focused on deploying and advancing sovereign, efficient AI systems for India's national missions, particularly in secure, data-sensitive environments like space tech.
Rajat has hosted talks on TedXKiet about AI advancement.
There is a plethora of other catalysts.
The token has real world utility, what was speculative drive PA will soon be utility driven >

I know the markets aren't favourable.
But they are in talks with government agencies, running pilots with US enterprise and have been labelled top 5 Indian AI start ups by Inc42.
The downside is fkn minimal. The upside is absolutely massive.
A reasoning model that beats Qwen, OpenAI and several other legacy models in cost and efficiency, but also reasoning.
Not to mention, India is the fastest growing major economy and is top 3 within the AI race.
1/ While Sarvam & Krutrim chase billions in funding for bloated models, the Arya brothers (
@rajatarya01 &
@BizChirag) are quietly executing at
169Pi.ai.
Compare the tape
Krutrim - $1B unicorn, $300M raised
Sarvam - $41-53M raised
these are some of India's leading AI start ups, all of which are funded by venture capital. Alpie Core is not.
