itsOmSarraf_ · x · 2026-07-31
Indian AI startup Sarvam is praised for setting aside ego and embracing world-class open-source models like GLM, Kimi, and DeepSeek to provide top-tier inference services rather than sticking solely to their own.
The quoted post points out that Indian policymakers' reluctance to use models trained in China is counterproductive. Chinese labs are currently producing the world's best open-source AI, with models like GLM achieving 81% on the highly difficult Terminal Bench—matching Anthropic's Opus level. The author urges India to put aside geopolitical biases and leverage these open-source capabilities to build its own AI infrastructure.
