arXiv:2610.07026v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Offline AI Modules workstream enables practical, low-power, and community-accessible deployment of voice-first AI systems that operate fully offline. Designed for African language communities where speech is the dominant mode of interaction and internet connectivity is unreliable or absent, the workstream delivers three reinforcing components: a modular voice-first offline architecture, a low-cost hardware reference bill of materials, and a reproducible quantization and a reproducible quantization and benchmarking pipeline for instruction-tuned language models in the 2-5B parameter class. This paper presents the first end-to-end benchmark e
