Change Log

Sarvam-30B Deprecated

sarvam-30b has been fully deprecated and moved to the Deprecated Models section, and is no longer available through the Chat Completions API. Sarvam-105B is now the only supported Sarvam chat model - migrate any remaining sarvam-30b integrations to sarvam-105b.

Saaras v4 for Speech to Text

Introduced saaras:v4, available alongside saaras:v3 across the REST, WebSocket, and Batch Speech-to-Text endpoints. It supports the same five output modes (transcribe, translate, verbatim, translit, codemix) and adds Global English alongside Indian English, on top of the existing 22 Indic languages. saaras:v3 remains the default, recommended model.

Document AI Launched

Replaced the Document Digitization API with Document AI (/doc-ai/v1), powered by an upgraded Sarvam Vision 1.5 trained for both OCR and key-value extraction. Two endpoints: Digitise for full-document OCR with layout and tables preserved, and Extract for schema-based field extraction to JSON, CSV, or XLSX. The earlier Document Digitization API is now legacy.

Dubbing API Launched (Beta)

Added job endpoints for the Content Studio Dubbing feature, which localizes video or audio into Indian languages while preserving the original speaker’s voice identity and delivery.

Conversations and Work Agents Launched

Opened up two new products. Conversations (renamed Voice Agents the following month) is an end-to-end stack for building, deploying, and monitoring voice agents on telephony, previously run only internally. Work Agents (renamed Cowork the following month) is an agentic workspace for ad-hoc tasks and scheduled agents, with Connectors into tools like Gmail, Slack, GitHub, and Notion. Also renamed Sarvam Pages to Doc Agents and Sarvam Creative to Content Agents (now Content Studio), dropping the “Sarvam” prefix across the product lineup.

Telephony, Frameworks & Migrations

Added integration guides for Twilio, Plivo, and Exotel telephony, plus Vapi and LangChain; LiveKit and Pipecat production-tuning guides for Voice Agents; and migration guides for developers switching from Cartesia, Deepgram, ElevenLabs, or Gemini.

Realtime API for Live Transcription

Introduced a new Realtime API - saaras:v3-realtime over WebSocket - purpose-built for voice agents and live transcription. It adds true partial (interim) transcripts as the user speaks, live mid-stream reconfiguration, and millisecond-based VAD tuning. This supersedes the legacy streaming WebSocket for new voice-agent and live-transcription work; the older saaras:v3 streaming WebSocket remains generally available and is now documented under Legacy.

GLM-5.2 and Gemma 4 31B (Beta)

Introduced two open-source chat models served on Sarvam infrastructure via the new /v2/chat/completions endpoint. GLM-5.2 (glm5.2) offers a 512K-token context window with tool calling and visible reasoning, for tasks that exceed Sarvam’s own 128K context. Gemma 4 31B (gemma4) adds image input alongside tool calling. Neither model is tuned for Indian languages - for Indian-language workloads, continue using Sarvam-105B or Sarvam Vision. Beta access is granted per API key; contact us to request whitelisting.

Self-Hosted Deployments on AWS

Sarvam models can now run inside your own AWS account via Self-Hosted Deployments. Subscribe to a model package on the AWS Marketplace and deploy Saaras v3, Bulbul v3, or Sarvam Vision as an Amazon SageMaker endpoint in your own VPC - same models as the Managed API, but your audio and documents never leave your infrastructure.

LLM Pricing Updated

sarvam-105b pricing increased to ₹29.28 / ₹10.98 / ₹73.2 per 1M tokens (input / cached input / output), up from ₹4 / ₹2.5 / ₹16, effective August 5, 2026. sarvam-105b-conversations is priced the same as sarvam-105b. Pricing was also published for the beta open-source models - GLM-5.2 at ₹128.1 / ₹23.79 / ₹402.6 and Gemma 4 31B at ₹36.6 / ₹13.73 / ₹91.5 - with GLM-5.2’s reasoning tokens billed as output. See the pricing page for details.

Conversations is Now Voice Agents

The product formerly called Conversations (internally, “Samvaad”) is now Voice Agents, an end-to-end stack for building, deploying, and monitoring voice agents on telephony. References to platform.sarvam.ai were updated accordingly.

Dubbing Restructured

Reorganized Dubbing docs into a hub with dedicated Voices and Job Lifecycle pages, and documented editor_flow pricing: ₹40 / ₹38 / ₹36 per minute (Starter / Pro / Enterprise) with editor_flow: false, and ₹80 / ₹75 / ₹72 per minute - 2× the base rate - with editor_flow: true.

Vobiz Telephony Integration

Added a Vobiz telephony integration guide for Voice Agents.
