Sarvam AI announces a new AI platform for Indian languages, will Gemini and ChatGPT face a tough challenge?
Bengaluru-based AI startup Sarvam AI has launched its new brand identity. The company has named it 'the all-new Sarvam' and describes itself as a platform 'Designed for all of India'. The company states its motto is 'AI for all, from India'.
The word Sarvam is derived from Sanskrit, meaning 'for everyone'. The company wants its AI systems to understand the thinking, language, and working styles of Indians. This means AI that works according to Indian languages and needs, yet is technologically at par with the world's largest platforms.
The new branding is based on the concept of a 'gateway', a gateway that represents the intersection of human and machine, culture and technology. The logo features a mandala-inspired design that resembles a lotus flower.
The blue to orange gradient represents progress and advancement. Many people on the social media platform X praised the design, calling it clean, modern, and recognizably Indian.
However, many users also asked when Sarvam would launch an app for the general public. Currently, the company's products are available as APIs and platforms for developers, businesses, and institutions. No consumer app has been launched yet.
Two Major Tools Launched
Recently, Sarvam AI launched two major tools: Sarvam Vision and Bulbul V3.
Sarvam Vision - This is an OCR and document reading tool that can extract text from photos, scans, and handwritten notes. It supports 22 languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, and Marathi. The company claims that its performance in some tests was better than Gemini and ChatGPT's.
Bulbul V3 - This is a text-to-speech model that converts written words into natural speech. It offers over 35 voices in 11 Indian languages. Notably, it can easily handle mixed Hindi-English languages and different accents.
In the end, it would not be wrong to say that keeping in mind the linguistic diversity of India, Sarvam AI is creating such an AI which can work easily in every corner of the country.
