Research-driven notes on AI strategy, policy, and the technology landscape — written to encourage informed discussion across India’s AI ecosystem.
Sarvam Epoch 2026: Models, Infrastructure and Applications
On 30 July 2026, Sarvam AI announced across every layer of the AI stack on a single day — models, infrastructure, harnesses and applications. This note documents all of it: the upgraded 105B and its cost router, Saaras V4 and the world's first real multi-speaker Indic ASR, the India-hosted token factory, the six-product Indus platform, and a trillion-parameter frontier commitment defended with arithmetic rather than adjectives. Every quantitative claim is collected in one scorecard, clearly marked as Sarvam's own and not independently verified.
India's AI Mission: The Seven Pillars and What Each One Actually Funds
India's AI Mission is usually summarised as one number: ₹10,372 crore.

This note goes pillar by pillar, names all twelve funded model teams (not just Sarvam), and gives the direct links and steps to access each facility yourself.
