// LITEWARDS / FOUNDER
I’m Arihant Katiyar, the person building Litewards.
Litewards is an independent project exploring a clearer way to work with powerful AI: plan the task, build with the right models, review the result, and keep a recovery path visible.
← Back to LitewardsFrontier AI models are brilliant, and their providers know it. Training, chips, and cloud bills cost serious money. Litewards is aiming for comparable performance on the tasks that matter at a fraction of the cost—so your wallet can unclench a little.
We’re building Litewards as a visible pipeline: one model maps the prompt, several models build or reason in parallel, and reviewers compare the result with the original ask. The handoffs, effort, reasoning, and recovery path stay visible—so nobody has to shrug and say, “the AI did it.”
The hard part is not only software. Reliable AI workflows need decent hardware, provider access, testing, storage, and room to iterate. Funding would help us get better hardware and infrastructure, test more seriously, and turn the prototype into a dependable product. In short: the idea has a route, but the server still wants snacks.
