Sarvam AI, and India’s role in the future of high technology

When the United States recently restricted access to Anthropic’s latest artificial intelligence (AI) models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, the immediate focus was on the developers and companies affected. The decision would ultimately be remembered as a sign of a much larger shift. Advanced AI is no longer viewed merely as a commercial technology, but is increasingly being treated as a strategic capability. India has understood it and the domestic AI ecosystem is taking meaningful steps forward here. This is evident from the quantum of funding that Sarvam AI has just bagged — with sizeable domestic investment.
