🚀 Born in INDIA: The Story Behind Sarvam AI
Started in 2023 by Vivek Raghavan and Pratyush Kumar who also helped start AI4Bharat at IIT Madras, Sarvam AI began with a clear goal:
“Make AI that understands India-its languages, people, and its culture as well.â€
Most AI's models in the world focused on English language first, but here Sarvam AI thought early that India needs AI that works for India, indians, and in Indian languages. 🧠
🧠 Sarvam-1: India’s Own Multispeech Engine
One big achievement from Sarvam AI is Sarvam-1, a 2-billion-parameter language model that supports 10 main Indian languages like Hindi, kannada Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi etc.
📊 It was trained on a special data collection called Sarvam-2T (more than 4 trillion tokens), which makes sure all these languages get correct representation-solving the problems of Rare data's in Indian languages.
✨ Why it is cool? Sarvam-1 uses a smart tokenizer that breaks down words into less pieces-about 1.4 to 2.1 tokens per word, while other models need 4 to 8 tokens. That means:
✅ 1. Fast processing
✅ 2. Less cost to run
✅ 3. Can also work on phones or small devices easily
🌐 Making India’s AI Tools
Sarvam AI is not only about the big language model. They are making the whole set of AI tools for India’s needs:
✅ Sarvam 2B: India’s first open-source 2 billion parameter Indic language model — a big help for local developers and researchers.
✅ Shuka 1.0 🎙ï¸: India’s first AudioLM that can turn speech to text correctly in many Indian languages.
✅ Sarvam Agents 🤖: Voice-enabled business bots that speak many languages-working on WhatsApp, phone calls, or apps.
✅ A1 Workbench âš–ï¸: An AI toolkit for lawyers, with chat help for regulations, drafting documents, and more.
🌏 Why This Matters: Sarvam AI for India
Most AI today is controlled by big Western companies, but Sarvam AI is building a truly independent AI system that reflects Indian languages, voices, and its culture.
Whether you are a developer, lawyer, business owner, or a daily user Sarvam AI wants to give you tools that speak your language. 🗣ï¸📱💡
The future of AI in India is not only bright-it is a multispeech, diverse, and proudly Indian. ✨
🌏 Solving India’s AI Puzzle: Connecting the Languages
India is not just one country-it is a Combination of hundreds of languages and Sub-languages, spoken everywhere. This is just amazing but also a big challenge for AI that wants to understand the real people. 🗣ï¸🤖
Sarvam AI took this challenge head-on-to make AI that talks every Indian’s language.
📚 1. Building Good Data from Zero
One big problem is there is not enough good training data for regional languages. Sarvam AI fixed this by:
✨ Creating Sarvam-2T, a huge dataset using Man-made data generation, to capture the richness and variety of Indian languages.
This helped fill the data gap and taught the AI how people really speak in different places.
âš™ï¸ 2. Smarter Word Splitting for Indian Scripts
Normal tokenizers do not work well on Indian languages-they are slow and costly.
Sarvam AI made a super-efficient tokenizer that needs fewer tokens per word-about 1.4 to 2.1 tokens vs 4 to 8 tokens in others.
✅ This means faster AI answers
✅ Needs less computer power
✅ Works well on low-end or far-away devices 📱
🪷 3. Training with Culture in Mind
Language is not just words-it is tied to culture, values, and real-life stories.
So Sarvam AI trains models on content that reflects India’s real culture and life.
🎯 The result? AI that does not just translate but really understands what we say and why it matters.
💬 Final Thought
Sarvam AI is not just fixing tech problems-it is breaking Challenges.
By making AI smart in language, aware of culture, and easy to run anywhere, they are giving cutting-edge tech to every Indian-no matter where or which language they speak. 🌍🧠
