A familiar way to picture it

An everyday analogyThink of one company offering different engine sizes and an assistant that lets people experience its technology.

An analogy helps you understand the main idea. It is not a description of every technical detail.

A simple Sarvam 30B / 105B example

An assistant using a suitable model can help explain a topic in an Indian language.

1

Sarvam develops language models, including 30B and 105B.

2

Its Indus assistant provides an interface to experience its models; Sarvam identifies 105B as powering Indus.

3

A person can use supported features to ask questions or work with language.

What does B mean in 30B and 105B?

B means billion parameters: adjustable numbers in a model. It describes an aspect of model size. It is not a count of users, languages or apps, and a larger number alone does not decide usefulness.

Where can I try it or learn more?

A maker’s page or research page may explain the technology rather than provide a chat box. Available models, features and access can change.

A small activity for you

Take one short question you understand well. If you have access to Indus, try it in your preferred supported language. Judge whether the answer is clear to you.

You do not need to memorise model sizes or write a program to understand this lesson. First explain the idea in your own words. If you want to build an app later, the official resources are your next step.
