SYNCHRONIZED INTELLIGENCE AND ORCHESTRATION: A SELF-
ADAPTIVE MOBILE ARCHITECTURE FOR CONTEXT-AWARE SOCIAL
COMPUTING WITH COST-EFFICIENT AI INTEGRATION
Mayuresh Kulkarni
Abstract - Mobile social applications face persistent challenges in balancing data synchronization, offline usability, AI integration, and operational costs. Existing solutions often address these concerns individually, resulting in inefficiencies when deployed at scale. This paper presents Synchronized Intelligence, a self-adaptive mobile architecture that unifies these concerns through three innovations:
1. IntelligentHibernation – an offline-first synchronization strategy that prioritizes socially and contextually relevant data.
2. Cost-Efficient AI Orchestration – a service layer that integrates efficient and low-cost AI providers with caching and fallback mechanisms for reliability.
3. Adaptive Firebase Optimization – a middleware that reduces backend reads via context-aware caching and query reduction.
A prototype implementation in React Native with Firebase Firestore was evaluated across 1,000 user profiles and 500 conversations. Results demonstrate up to 90% faster load times, 95% fewer database reads, and 100% offline functionality for critical features. The AI orchestration layer achieves 3–5 second latency for first-time image generation and near-instant responses for cached requests, reducing projected monthly costs by 80–90%. These findings suggest that integrating synchronization, caching, and service orchestration into a unified architecture provides a scalable, resource-efficient solution for modern social computing.

1.INTRODUCTION
Mobile social applications increasingly demand real-time interactivity, AI-enhanced personalization, and offline resilience. Delivering these features introduces three interconnectedchallenges:
1. Data Synchronization Complexity – Cloud-first systems rely heavily on network connectivity, while offline-first solutions often replicate all data indiscriminately, causing storage bloat and inefficiencies.
2. AI Integration Costs –AIfeatureslikeimagegeneration or recommendations often incur per-call fees ($0.02–$0.10),limitingscalabilityforsmallerapplications.
3. Real-Time Communication Overhead – Backend serviceslikeFirebaseFirestoregeneratethousandsof databasereadspersession,increasinglatencyandcost.
While previous research addresses these areas independently (offline-first synchronization [1–5], ondevice/cloud AI [6–9], query optimization [10–11]), this paper provides a unified, self-adaptive architecture that balancesallthreeconcerns.
Synchronized Intelligence addressesthisgapbycombining Intelligent Hibernation, Cost-Efficient AI Orchestration, and Adaptive Firebase Optimization into a single framework.

2.1 Offline-First Synchronization
Offline-firstsystemsaimtomaintainusabilityundernetwork variability. Techniques such as Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) [1,2] and Operational Transformation(OT)[3]enableeventualconsistencyacross distributedreplicas.Frameworkslike CouchDB/PouchDB [4] and Realm [5] provide device-local persistence with periodicsynchronization.
Limitation: These systems generally synchronize all data indiscriminately and do not prioritize the most relevant content, resulting in unnecessary storage and bandwidth usage.

AI features like image generation, text suggestions, and personalization enhance social applications. Two main approachesexist:
On-device inference (TensorFlowLite[6],CoreML[7])–fast and low-cost but limited by device compute and modelsize.
Cloud-based APIs (OpenAI,HuggingFace,Pollinations.ai [8,9])–highqualitybutcostlypercall.
