Sarvam-M (Deprecated)

View as Markdown

Deprecated Model: Sarvam-M has been deprecated and is no longer available through the Chat Completions API. Please migrate to Sarvam-105B for improved performance across all tasks. The information below is retained for reference only.

Sarvam-M (Reasoning LLM)

Multilingual, hybrid-reasoning, text-only model built on Mistral-Small.

Post-trained for superior reasoning and Indic language support.

Performance Improvements:

  • +20% on Indian language benchmarks
  • +21.6% on math benchmarks
  • +17.6% on programming benchmarks
  • +86% on romanized Indian language GSM-8K benchmarks

Key Features:

  • Hybrid Thinking Mode: Switch between “think” (reasoning, coding, math) and “non-think” (fast conversations).
  • Advanced Indic Skills: Authentically trained on Indian languages & cultural contexts.
  • Superior Reasoning: Outperforms similar-sized models on coding & math.
  • Seamless Chat: Works across Indic scripts & romanized text.

Key Features

Strong Indian Language Support

Trained in 11 major Indic languages with support for native script, Romanised, and code-mixed inputs, tailored for everyday and formal Indian use cases.

Hybrid Reasoning Model

Supports both “think” and “non-think” modes, excelling in math, logic, and code-related tasks with special training for improved reasoning and direct answers.

Efficient and Fast Inference

Uses compression to make responses faster, works well even on lower-cost hardware setups, and can handle many users at once without slowing down.

Superior Performance

Outperforms leading models including Mistral 3 Small, Gemma 3, and Llama models across Indian language benchmarks.

Context-Aware Processing

Maintains context across long conversations with 8192 token context length and intelligent reasoning capabilities.

Model Specifications

Key Considerations
  • Maximum context length: 8192 tokens

  • Temperature range: 0 to 2

    • Non-thinking mode: 0.2 (recommended)
    • Thinking mode: 0.5 (recommended)
  • Top-p range: 0 to 1

  • Reasoning effort options: low, medium, high

    • Setting any value enables thinking mode
    • Higher values increase reasoning depth

Key Capabilities

These examples no longer run. The API rejects model: "sarvam-m" with:

{
  "error": {
    "message": "Model 'sarvam-m' has been deprecated. Please use one of the available models instead: sarvam-105b.",
    "code": "invalid_request_error"
  }
}

They are retained for historical reference only. For working equivalents of every example below, see Sarvam-105B.

Simple, one-turn interaction where the user asks a question and the model replies with a single, direct response.

from sarvamai import SarvamAI
client = SarvamAI(
    api_subscription_key="YOUR_SARVAM_API_KEY",
)
response = client.chat.completions(
    model="sarvam-m",
    messages=[
{"role": "user", "content": "Why is India called a land of diverse landscapes?"}
    ],
    temperature=0.5,
    top_p=1,
    max_tokens=1000,
)
print(response)
