Neural·Research.Lab
Open-source AI tooling by Viet Anh Nguyen — edge inference, private assistants, labeling, training. Offline-first, real licenses, runs on the hardware you already own.
Four corners of the lab.
NRL sits across four areas. Each one ships under an open license and is usable on consumer hardware — no cloud lock-in, no mystery telemetry.
Vision
Labeling, detection, segmentation — from annotation tools like AnyLabeling to edge kits like DaisyKit.
Assistants
On-device, multimodal assistants and voice agents. Llama Assistant covers desktop with voice, RAG and wake-word offline; EdgeVox brings the same privacy model to ROS2 robots.
Platform
Training platforms and self-hosted inference. AnyLearning turns no-code training into one-click deploys you can run on your own hardware.
Applied
AI applied to real lives — LilyLingo brings AI language tutors and pronunciation coaching to any device, any time.
The ones you probably know us for.
The projects carrying the lab right now — by stars, by usage, or by what we ship fixes for on Monday mornings.
