Bengaluru-based startup Sarvam AI on Thursday launched Epoch Builder Edition, a developer and enterprise platform aimed at helping organisations build, fine-tune and deploy large language models (LLMs) designed for Indian languages and use cases.
The company said the platform provides developers, researchers and enterprises with access to base models, training infrastructure, datasets and deployment tools, with a focus on reducing dependence on overseas AI models for Indian applications.
