Defending Sarvam AI against accusations of licensing issues with past Mistral-based models, the author highlights the company's technical achievements. Sarvam reportedly delivered an R1-level model in just 7 months using a fraction of the compute (1/50th of DeepSeek V3) required by competitors. They have also released SOTA speech and OCR models and demonstrated strong post-training capabilities, particularly in token transplantation and data cleaning for Indian languages.
