Mibyte, obrt za računalno programiranje, vl. Mislav Jurić

Mibyte is a Croatian sole-trader SME (obrt) providing AI and machine learning engineering and consulting services, founded and run by Mislav Jurić. The company delivers hands-on technical work across LLMs, agentic AI, generative AI, NLP, computer vision, traditional ML and speech (ASR & TTS) — from feasibility assessment and architecture through model development, evaluation and production integration.

Technical capabilities

• NLP and LLM engineering — end-to-end model development (dataset design, LLM-assisted labelling, training, production integration) and fine-tuning of open-weight LLMs.

• Model evaluation, benchmarking and efficiency — differential testing under strict validation standards; ~50% BERT inference time reduction via encoder layer pruning; evaluation of local LLM/ASR inference stacks (llama.cpp, whisper.cpp, NVIDIA NVIGI), including identification of an SDK bug NVIDIA subsequently patched.

• Agentic AI in production settings — agent pipelines delivered into real business processes under genuine IT and policy constraints, including custom integrations extending commercial agent platforms beyond their built-in connectors.

• Trustworthy AI in practice — prompt-protection and content-filtering mechanisms for a commercially released LLM-powered product.

• Technical leadership — AI Lead role on a computer vision project: architecture definition, realistic timeline setting with C-level stakeholders, and early identification of an infeasible hardware target.

Consortium participation

Mibyte is registered on the EU Funding and Tenders Portal with a PIC and self-declared SME status, and its founder is a registered Horizon Europe expert evaluator (EX2026D1488322). The company seeks participation as a beneficiary contributing technical work packages, not as a proposal coordinator. As a Croatian entity, Mibyte can also support a consortium's widening-country participation.
