Data platforms.
AI systems.
The infrastructure
between them.

I’m Subhadip Mitra. I embed with enterprises and ship production AI agents into their live systems, then publish the research and practitioner’s notes behind them: multi-agent systems, inference optimization, and AI safety.

Safety · ICLR 2026 Workshop
0.4 vs 0.8Best attack fitness, out of 1.0

Quality-diversity red-teaming

MAP-Elites evolves interpretable attacks across 36 strategy-encoding combinations. No attack on Claude 3.5 Sonnet scored above ambiguous; GPT-4o-mini and Gemini 2.0 Flash each had attacks at 0.8.

Safety
0.97-1.00AUROC, 7 models, 7B-31B

Closing the activation-cone blind spot

Prompt-time activation defenses are structurally blind to prefilling attacks. Probing the first generated tokens catches them.

Inference
89-131%of Megablocks throughput

Fused MoE dispatch in pure Triton

At inference batch sizes on NVIDIA A100 and AMD MI300X, with 35% less global memory traffic and no CUDA.

Interpretability
90-96%detection accuracy

Sandbagging detection probes

Linear probes on hidden states catch deliberate underperformance across Mistral, Gemma and Qwen, before any output is generated.

DeepInfer: The Engine Is Open. The Cache Is the Business.

DeepSeek open-sourced DeepInfer and disclosed 155 trillion tokens a day at $38 per GPU-hour. The arithmetic says the cache it kept is the business.

Still curious. Still building.

Before Delta, I spent five years in Google Cloud’s professional services across Southeast Asia, rising from consultant to Head of Data & Analytics and Site Lead. I built the Data & Analytics practice there from zero across six countries. I also started an AI agent program for a 700+ person organization, and wrote the SDK it runs on.
