What you get

India’s Sarvam AI credits every new account ₹100 that never expire, spendable on any of its APIs — including its own Sarvam-105B chat model on an OpenAI-shaped endpoint

Free models

sarvam-105b

Limits, in the vendor’s words

“Every new user receives ₹100 worth of free credits to explore all our APIs”, and the credits “are universal and never expire”. Sarvam-105B costs ₹29.28 in and ₹73.2 out per 1M tokens, so the grant is about 3 million input tokens, and the Starter plan allows 40 chat requests a minute. DeepSeek V4 Flash, GLM 5.3 and Gemma 4 31B are served only on /v2/chat/completions, a beta that is “not enabled by default with standard API subscription keys” and is granted per key on request. No page read mentions a card (2026-09-16)
