Bengaluru-based AI startup Sarvam has finally released Sarvam 30B and Sarvam 105B AI models. They are open-source models, meaning anyone can download, use and build on them for free. Sarvam built their AI models entirely from scratch in India. The company did everything from data collection and AI model design to training and deployment.
The announcement includes a 30 billion and a 105 billion parameter model. The first model handles real time conversations with 32,000 context windows making the cost of inferencing very low while the other one has 128,000 tokens for more complex tasks. Both the Sarvam 30B and Sarvam 105B are trained on massive datasets that are curated in-house using computing power provided under the IndiaAI Mission.
Milestones shared at the launch show the model performing competitively against international models including Gemma 27B, Mistral-32-24B, Nemotron-30B, Qwen-30B, and GPT-OSS-20B across tasks measuring mathematical reasoning, coding accuracy, and general problem-solving.
“It is on par with most other open and closed frontier models of its class, and designed to do complex reasoning tasks very well” Sarvam cofounder Pratyush Kumar said at the launch.
“This 105 billion parameter model can meet most benchmarks, be it a DeepSeek R1 model that was released a year ago on 600 billion parameters. This was a model trained from scratch, one-sixth the size of that model and today is providing intelligence which is competitive to what DeepSeek was earlier. It is also cheaper than Google’s Gemini Flash but outperforms its many benchmarks,” he added.
