Are Pranay Mahendrakar's papers free to read?
Yes. Every paper by Pranay Mahendrakar is open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. There is no paywall, no email gate and no account. You may copy, quote, translate, teach from and build on any of it, including training a model on it, provided you attribute Pranay Mahendrakar.
How do I cite Pranay Mahendrakar's research?
Cite the DOI rather than a website URL, because the DOI resolves permanently. Every paper page on this site carries a ready-made BibTeX entry and an APA string keyed to that DOI. In APA the general form is: Mahendrakar, P. (Year). Title. Zenodo. https://doi.org/DOI
What is Pranay Mahendrakar's ORCID?
Pranay Mahendrakar's ORCID is 0009-0003-7224-029X, at https://orcid.org/0009-0003-7224-029X. Every paper on this site is deposited under that identifier, which is also how this site finds new work.
What topics does Pranay Mahendrakar research?
Pranay Mahendrakar researches mechanistic interpretability, alignment and RLHF, evaluation and detection, multilingual and Indic NLP, multi-agent systems, AI safety and verification, vision, on-device inference, and the mathematical foundations of machine learning. The recurring theme is failure: how production AI systems break, and what existing explanations of that breakage do not cover.
Where can I download Pranay Mahendrakar's papers?
