Ok, so here is my take on the Fable ban, sovereign AI, Sarvam, etc. The event is interesting as it has implications from many perspectives. For AI users, it is clear that you should not confuse access with ownership, or adoption itself as advantage. And if the most significant tech differentiator you are leveraging has external control loops, then you have to accept you are vulnerable. For AI talent, it is now a precedent that you would be *seen* aligning to national interests more than company interests. And even if its just a whim for now, this trend will be hard to reverse as the world gets more automated… For AI labs, their offerings will be stratified - general purpose AI would be available as utility, but frontier AI would be gated. This is a fantastic business model for labs - *democratized* AI sucks in all the data liquidity of the world which is locked in higher margin frontier offerings. I think for the world to be a better place, all three of the above are bad vectors. We need to have more countries and companies owning their own destinies. And in the post AI world, that means being able to use and improve AI systems within their own perimeters - what one may call Sovereign AI. At Sarvam, Sovereign AI in India was the founding thesis a couple of years back, and continues to remain the core operating principle. From our vantage point, it is super clear that India will build, leverage, and create massive business value and societal impact with sovereign AI. The following is precisely how we at Sarvam are contributing to make that happen.

150 researchers from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Meta, Mistral, Stripe, and more - all in one room for the @SarvamAI story. Last Thursday, we hosted 𝘈𝘯 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘚𝘢𝘳𝘷𝘢𝘮 𝘈𝘐 in San Francisco. @pratykumar joined @MohapatraHemant and @dkhare for a conversation on building sovereign AI out of India, scaling compute, and expanding into the Bay Area to work alongside the people doing this at frontier scale. Grateful to everyone who showed up and made the conversation worth having, see you at the next one! @abhabhakoo @JainAnuvrat @ishaanpreet @PriyalMotw89880 @ravirajjain @BaggaRohil @SeekingN0rth @sidsangwan

Speaking this Thursday evening in SFO on all things model research and future plans @SarvamAI. Will also give a peak into the scale and impact of our deployed products. Bottomline: It's a generational opportunity to build a consequential Indian deep tech firm... RSVP to join - luma.com/lsipxsarvam

A deep dive into Saaras V3 - Sarvam's Speech to Text x.com/i/broadcasts/1nGnRYPoM…

Speaking tomorrow at Stanford about the opportunity to build deep tech in India. If you want to train models, build products, create population scale impact, or are just curious what we are up to then RSVP and show up - sarvam.ai/events/stanford-gs…

We're hosting a webinar on Saaras V3, our speech-to-text model for teams building Voice AI for India. Date: Thursday, May 21 Time: 5:00 PM IST In this session, we'll break down what it takes to ship Voice AI that works reliably across noisy environments, regional accents, mixed-language speech, and multiple speakers.
