In a major push towards accessible artificial intelligence, Indian startup Sarvam AI has launched Sarvam Edge — a cutting-edge AI model designed to run entirely offline on everyday devices like smartphones and laptops. This innovation marks a significant shift from traditional cloud-based AI services by delivering advanced capabilities without needing an internet connection. Unlike typical large language models that depend on powerful cloud servers and constant connectivity, Sarvam Edge performs speech recognition, translation and text-to-speech directly on the user’s device. The result is a fast, private, and reliable AI experience that works even in areas with weak or no network coverage — a key advantage for India’s diverse and connectivity-challenged regions. How Sarvam Edge Works Sarvam Edge shifts AI inference from centralized data centres to local hardware. Modern devices already have strong processors, and Sarvam has optimised its models to run efficiently within limited memory and computing resources. This means responses are nearly instantaneous, there are no cloud query costs, and user data stays on the device, enhancing privacy. Technically, Sarvam Edge includes compact models for: Multilingual speech recognition that supports 10 major Indian languages with automatic language detection. Text-to-speech, generating natural voice output across the same languages. Bidirectional translation… Read MoreBusiness Archives – Trak.in – Indian Business of Tech, Mobile & Startups
