India's Sarvam launches Indus AI chat app as competition heats up | TechCrunch
"Indus serves as a chat interface for its newly announced Sarvam 105B model, the company's 105-billion-parameter large language model. The app's launch comes two days after Bengaluru-based Sarvam unveiled its 105B and 30B models at the India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi earlier this week. At the summit, the startup also outlined enterprise initiatives and hardware plans and announced partnerships with companies including HMD to bring AI to Nokia feature phones and Bosch for AI-enabled automotive applications."
"Users can sign in using their phone number, Google account, or Apple ID, though the service appears to be limited to India for now. The app currently comes with some limitations. Users cannot delete their chat history without deleting their account, and there is no option to turn off the app's reasoning feature, which can sometimes slow response times. Sarvam has also warned that access may be restricted as it gradually expands its compute capacity."
Sarvam launched Indus, a web and mobile chat app serving as an interface for the Sarvam 105B 105-billion-parameter large language model. The app is available in beta on iOS, Android, and the web, supporting typed or spoken queries with text and audio responses. Users can sign in with phone number, Google, or Apple, and initial availability appears limited to India. Sarvam showcased its 105B and 30B models at the India AI Impact Summit and announced enterprise initiatives, hardware plans, and partnerships with HMD and Bosch. The app currently prevents chat history deletion without account deletion, lacks an option to disable reasoning, and may restrict access while compute capacity expands. Sarvam raised $41 million since 2023 from investors including Lightspeed.
