Introduction

Sarvam-30B is an advanced Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model with 2.4B non-embedding active parameters, designed primarily for practical deployment. It combines strong reasoning, reliable coding ability, and best-in-class conversational quality across Indian languages. Sarvam-30B is built to run reliably in resource-constrained environments and can handle multilingual voice calls while performing tool calls.

A major focus during training was the Indian context and languages, resulting in state-of-the-art performance across 22 Indian languages for its model size.

Sarvam-30B is open-sourced under the Apache License. For more details, see our blog.

Architecture

The 30B MoE model is designed for throughput and memory efficiency. It uses 19 layers, a dense FFN intermediate_size of 8192, moe_intermediate_size of 1024, top-6 routing, grouped KV heads (num_key_value_heads=4), and an extremely high rope_theta (8e6) for long-context stability without RoPE scaling. It has 128 experts with a shared expert, a routed scaling factor of 2.5, and auxiliary-loss-free router balancing. The 30B model focuses on throughput and memory efficiency through fewer layers, grouped KV attention, and smaller experts.

SGLang

Install latest SGLang from source

bash

git clone https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang.git
cd sglang
pip install -e "python[all]"

Instantiate model and Run

python

import sglang as sgl
from transformers import AutoTokenizer

model_path = "sarvamai/sarvam-30b"
engine = sgl.Engine(
    model_path=model_path,
    tp_size=2,

vLLM

Note: currently a PR is open for native support for the Sarvam models in vLLM (link). Therefore, we have 2 options here.

Option 1: install from source (hard)

Use the custom fork here: link
Follow the instructions here to install from source: link

Option 2: hot-patch (easy)

Run hotpatch_vllm.py
This will do the following:
- install vllm=0.15.0
- add 2 model entries to registry.py
- download the model executors for sarvam-105b and sarvam-30b

Once this is done, you can run vLLM as usual

python

from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams
from transformers import AutoTokenizer

model_path = "sarvamai/sarvam-30b"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path)
llm = LLM(model=model_path, 
            trust_remote_code=True, 
            max_model_len=2048, 
            tensor_parallel_size=8, 
            max_num_seqs=16,
        )
sampling_params = SamplingParams(
                    temperature=0.8, 
                    max_tokens=2048, 
                    repetition_penalty=1.0,
                    spaces_between_special_tokens=True
                )

prompts = [
    "Who wrote The Picture of Dorian Gray?",
]

outputs = llm.generate([
    tokenizer.apply_chat_template([
        {"role": "user", "content": prompt}],
        tokenize=False,
        add_generation_prompt=True,
        enable_thinking=True)
        for prompt in prompts], 
    sampling_params)
for p, o in zip(prompts, outputs):
    print("Prompt: ", p)
    print("Generated text: ", o.outputs[0].text)
    print("=" * 100)
