# ArkAiLab

ArkAiLab is an AI research and engineering lab focused on machine learning systems, dataset development, and model optimization.

ArkAiLab is **owned and operated by ArkDevLabs** and functions as a dedicated research and distribution unit within the ArkDevLabs ecosystem.

---

## Focus Areas

ArkAiLab works on applied and experimental areas of artificial intelligence, including:

- Machine learning and deep learning research
- Dataset creation, curation, and evaluation
- Model optimization and inference efficiency
- Quantization and deployment-oriented workflows
- Multimodal and generative AI systems

Public releases are published selectively as projects reach release readiness.

## Open4Bit Initiative

**Open4Bit** is a project operated under ArkAiLab.

Open4Bit focuses on the **distribution of optimized and quantized AI models** designed for efficient inference across a wide range of hardware configurations.

Supported formats and workflows include:

- GGUF
- INT8, NF4, FP16, FP8, and related quantization formats
- Inference-ready model variants for open-source runtimes

Open4Bit aims to improve accessibility and usability of large models through practical optimization.
