India’s Sarvam AI Launches Sarvam Edge: AI That Works Offline on Phones and Laptops

Indian startup Sarvam AI has unveiled Sarvam Edge, an AI platform capable of running offline directly on smartphones and laptops. The launch coincides with the India AI Impact Summit 2026 and marks a significant step in making AI accessible without relying on the internet or cloud servers.

On-Device AI for Everyone

Sarvam Edge leverages on-device processing, allowing users to perform resource-intensive tasks such as speech-to-text, translation, and text-to-speech without network connectivity. This makes AI tools accessible to users who cannot afford expensive data plans while ensuring 100% privacy, as personal data never leaves the device.

The platform supports ten major Indian languages, automatically detecting the language spoken by the user. Its multilingual capabilities, combined with offline operation, ensure seamless AI functionality regardless of connectivity issues.

Optimized for Smartphones and Laptops

Sarvam Edge is designed specifically for modern mobile and laptop processors. By optimizing the AI models for devices with limited RAM and storage, Sarvam AI has made advanced AI accessible without requiring high-end hardware or specialized chipsets. Despite these limitations, the platform delivers fast transcription and instant translation, making offline AI practical and efficient for everyday use.

Empowering Education, Agriculture, and Finance

Sarvam AI envisions a future where AI is available to everyone. Sarvam Edge enables the creation of voice-controlled applications and tools that could revolutionize sectors such as education, agriculture, and finance. Students can continue learning offline, farmers can access guidance in their local languages, and companies can reduce reliance on cloud infrastructure while protecting user privacy.

Why Sarvam Edge Matters

Unlike AI chatbots like ChatGPT or Gemini, which rely heavily on cloud servers and internet connectivity, Sarvam Edge brings powerful AI directly to devices, making it more accessible, private, and cost-effective. By breaking the dependence on internet connectivity, Sarvam Edge promises to put AI in the hands of millions of Indians, from students to professionals to rural users.
