Sarvam AI
Technical Architecture and Capabilities
Sarvam AI is an Indian AI company co-founded by IIT-Madras alumni Vivek Raghavan and Pratyush Kumar. It operates as a full-stack AI company: building its own foundational language models, speech models, and application layer products. Both models announced at the AI Impact Summit use Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture — a design that activates only a fraction of parameters per inference, enabling large model scale while remaining computationally efficient.
- Sarvam-30B: 30 billion parameter model, Mixture of Experts design
- Sarvam-105B: 105 billion parameter model; activates ~9 billion parameters per token; 128,000-token context window
- Architecture: Mixture of Experts (MoE) — enables scale without proportional compute cost increase
- Language support: 22 scheduled Indian languages plus English; focus on Indic linguistic nuances
- Training: From scratch on India-centric datasets (not fine-tuned Western models)
- Use cases: Voice-based citizen interfaces, government document processing, multilingual chatbots, coding assistants
- Speech models: Sarvam ASR (automatic speech recognition) and TTS (text-to-speech) for Indic languages
