Nvidia’s New AI Supergroup Has 8 Players, India’s Sarvam Is One of Them
Nvidia has formed an eight-member AI supergroup under its Nemotron Coalition, with India’s Sarvam among the founding labs.
Nvidia has formed an eight-member AI supergroup under its Nemotron Coalition, with India’s Sarvam among the founding labs. The group will build open frontier models on DGX Cloud, marking India’s growing role in global AI development.
NVIDIA has named India’s Sarvam AI among eight founding members of the Nemotron Coalition. A global initiative to build open frontier AI models through shared data, compute, and research expertise, the chipmaker said in a press release published March 16.
The coalition’s first deliverable is a base model co-developed by Nvidia and French AI firm Mistral AI, trained on Nvidia DGX Cloud infrastructure. The model will be open-sourced and serve as the foundation for the upcoming Nemotron 4 family of models.
Founding members alongside Sarvam and Mistral AI include Black Forest Labs, Cursor, LangChain, Perplexity, Reflection AI, and Thinking Machines Lab. Each member is expected to contribute distinct capabilities. Black Forest Labs on multimodal and video AI; Cursor on real-world evaluation datasets; LangChain on agent frameworks and tool use; Perplexity on accessible model systems; Reflection AI on safety and dependability; Sarvam on sovereign language and voice-first AI; and Thinking Machines Lab on data collaboration and research support.

“Open models are the lifeblood of innovation and the engine of global participation in the AI revolution. The Nvidia Nemotron Coalition unites world-class AI labs to develop frontier open models that champion transparency, collaboration, and sovereignty.” said NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang.
The coalition’s formation follows growing debate over proprietary versus open AI development, with major labs including OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Anthropic keeping their most capable models closed. NVIDIA’s coalition positions itself as a counterweight, with coalition members retaining the freedom to continue building independent models and platforms alongside shared work.
AI reaches its full potential when it works in every language and for every community.
Pratyush Kumar, cofounder and CEO, Sarvam.
“Open models make this possible by giving builders the freedom to adapt frontier capabilities to real-world needs. Sarvam will contribute our support to the NVIDIA Nemotron Coalition to build open foundation models that are voice first, language inclusive, understand local culture and provide a platform for developers to build applications that matter at population scale,” added Kumar.
It is unclear when the first Nemotron Coalition model will be publicly released. NVIDIA did not disclose a timeline in its March 16 announcement.
Sarvam’s inclusion places an Indian AI lab at the early stages of global infrastructure for foundation models. An area where Indian organizations have largely been consumers rather than contributors. The move aligns with the IndiaAI Mission’s stated objective of reducing dependence on foreign closed-model systems.
