How it came together

Speak your draft

You can now dictate: hit Record, say your piece, and Sarvam Saarika transcribes it straight into the draft box. There's also a bundled sample voice note if you'd rather not use the mic.

NEWAug 2026

The showcase goes live

Contraire × Sarvam ships at contraire.anirudhux.com/sarvam — one product leaning on five Sarvam APIs end to end: reading, thinking, speaking, detecting language, and parsing documents.

NEWAug 2026

The council replies in your language

Paste a draft in Kannada, Hindi or Tamil and the nine readers answer in that same language, natively — no translation round-trip. text-lid spots the language on paste and sarvam-105b writes every perspective and report in it.

NEWAug 2026

Drop in a PDF

Uploads now run through Sarvam's Doc AI, which reads a PDF layout-aware — headings, lists and reading order preserved — before the council ever sees it. A bundled sample PDF is one click away.

NEWAug 2026

Support you can measure

"We support Kannada, Hindi and Tamil" is a measured claim, not a hope: the full pipeline was run in all three, with per-call tokens, cost, native-script share and truncation all recorded. The receipts live in the bench.

IMPROVEDAug 2026

Every voice, on Sarvam

The sample run's twelve blocks — nine perspectives and three reports — are all narrated by Bulbul v3, so you can listen to the whole council, not just read it.

NEWAug 2026

The whole council moves to 105B

Every reader and every report on the showcase now runs on sarvam-105b. It holds each persona's voice — in English and in Indic scripts — at roughly ₹2.7 for a complete run.

NEWAug 2026

A branch of its own

The showcase started as an isolated copy of the workbench, free to diverge without touching the production app — every shared change kept additive so the main site stayed byte-for-byte the same.
