## Sarvam-30B Deprecated

Model APIs

`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](/api/getting-started/models/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

Model APIs

Introduced [`saaras:v4`](/api/getting-started/models/saaras), 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

Doc Agents

Replaced the Document Digitization API with [Document AI](/api/api-guides-tutorials/document-intelligence/overview) (`/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.

## Telephony, Frameworks & Migrations

Voice Agents

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

## Realtime API for Live Transcription

Model APIs

Introduced a new [Realtime API](/api/api-guides-tutorials/speech-to-text/realtime-streaming) - `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-5.3 and Gemma 4 31B (Beta)

Model APIs

Introduced two open-weight chat models served on Sarvam infrastructure via the new `/v2/chat/completions` endpoint. [GLM-5.3](/api/getting-started/models/openweight/glm-5-3) (`glm5.3`) offers a 1,048,576-token context window with tool calling and visible reasoning, for tasks that exceed Sarvam's own 128K context. [Gemma 4 31B](/api/getting-started/models/openweight/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](/api/getting-started/models/sarvam-105b) or [Sarvam Vision](/api/getting-started/models/sarvam-vision). Beta access is granted per API key; [contact us](/api/getting-started/help) to request whitelisting.

## Self-Hosted Deployments on AWS

Model APIs

Sarvam models can now run inside your own AWS account via [Self-Hosted Deployments](/api/self-hosted/introduction). 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

Model APIs

`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-weight models - [GLM-5.3](/api/getting-started/models/openweight/glm-5-3) at ₹126 / ₹23.4 / ₹396 and [Gemma 4 31B](/api/getting-started/models/openweight/gemma-4-31b) at ₹36.6 / ₹13.73 / ₹91.5 - with GLM-5.3's reasoning tokens billed as output. See the [pricing page](/api/getting-started/pricing) for details.

## Conversations is Now Voice Agents

Voice Agents
