Launch: Token Factory
Pratyush Kumar, Romit, Ashwin; Niket Agrawal (NVIDIA)
The world's leading open models, served from India. Token Factory brings Gemma, Nemotron, GLM and Kimi to builders as ready-to-use APIs hosted in India. No model hosting, no inference plumbing, no runaway costs. The best of global AI, priced for India. Alongside: model training as a service and an agentic view of data centers.
Models
A new 105B checkpoint, vision models in pro and flash, text to speech, speech recognition, the custom model program, and API updates.
Launch: Sarvam Conversations
Built with India's largest enterprises, now available to every team. The complete platform for customer conversations: creating and testing agents, launching campaigns, managing outreach, and measuring performance.
Launch: Sarvam Work
Automate the everyday. An extra pair of hands for the work between an ask and a finished outcome, across marketing, HR, legal, support, finance and operations. Give an agent the context and tools, and it returns a finished deliverable for review.
Sarvam Creative and Kivi
Abhigyan (Kivi)
Creative tools for creators, and Kivi: dictate, discover, do.
Launch: Sarvam Code

India's coding agent, and the closing launch of the morning. Built to understand entire codebases, work across complex repositories, and deliver high-quality output at a radically lower cost, with prebuilt workflows for codebase understanding, planning, execution, and review.
