## 🎯 Our Mission

We research and develop **linguistically-grounded optimization techniques** for Large Language Models, focusing on how ancient linguistic structures can solve modern computational challenges.

## 🔬 Core Research: Semantic Compression Layer

Our flagship project explores using **Arabic morphological structure** as an intermediate representation layer for LLMs.

### The Problem

Current tokenizers fragment text inefficiently, creating a **"Token Tax"** that:
- Inflates compute costs **quadratically**
- Disadvantages 160+ high-fertility languages  
- Wastes billions in training/inference costs

### Our Solution

Arabic's 1,400-year-old root system offers a mathematical framework for semantic compression:

```
ك-ت-ب (k-t-b) = "writing"
    │
    ├─ كَتَبَ   wrote
    ├─ كِتَاب  book
    ├─ كَاتِب  writer
    ├─ مَكْتُوب written
    └─ مَكْتَبَة library

One root → Many meanings
```

**Expected Impact:**
- 🎯 **30-50%** token reduction
- ⚡ **Up to 75%** compute savings
- 🌍 Language-agnostic at the user level
