In 2014, the library initiated a digitisation drive. The idea was to provide access to all the documents through computers and the internet. Scanners were procured, along with hard drives. Volunteer members went through the laborious process of digitising the documents. An expert team carefully edited out the cracks, holes, tears, folds and mould as and when they were scanned. A tech bro offered funds to the library to host a publicly accessible copy of the entire collection, and in 2019 purchased the rights for using the entire text corpus to train a large language model. A supercomputing cluster in Balkum chewed through the documents, resulting in the Thane Creek drying up. In 2025, a multimodal LLM was launched, OSILbot. The first user was an early adapter, a technology enthusiast who went to the gym on the third floor of Zenith Tower. His time was precious and he wanted a tl:dr of the whole library. He asked OSILbot to summarise everything it knew.
Cultivate spiritual balance through self-awareness and interconnectedness, live in harmony with rhythms of nature, practice compassion
