Development workstation (one-time)
A development machine capable of building the Rust codebases (Aarambh AI, Animato) and running local model training/fine-tuning experiments. My current machine (an entry-level laptop, no dedicated GPU) cannot reliably handle either. Based on current India pricing for a Ryzen 7 7700X / RTX 4070 Super / 32GB DDR5 / 1TB NVMe prebuilt desktop (~INR 135,700) plus a monitor and peripherals (~INR 10,000), since I'd be moving from a laptop-only setup. |

Training compute & infrastructure
Covers cloud GPU rental for training/fine-tuning runs beyond free Kaggle T4/P100 limits -- roughly 100 GPU-hours/month on an on-demand A100 (~$2/GPU-hour on providers like Lambda/AWS, ~INR 19,000) -- plus a small VPS for a public inference demo and documentation hosting (~INR 3,000/month). |
