    ixi-sLM: On-Device sLM for AI Call Agent Service
    Running an AI call agent on-device makes it private, network-independent, and free of per-query cloud cost, but shipping one as a real-world service imposes constraints a cloud deployment never faces: 1GiB memory budget, in-call latency and thermal limits, static-integer NPU execution, Korean STT input far from sLM pretraining, and cloud-level quality expectations.
