# Sarvam AI Models and Rate Limits

> Understand Sarvam AI's models and subscription tiers so you can choose the right plan for your team's review and scan volume.

Sarvam AI provides large language models optimized for Indian languages and multilingual reasoning. All models are accessible via a REST API at `https://api.sarvam.ai` and are compatible with the OpenAI chat completions format.

<Info>
  Rate limits depend on your Sarvam AI subscription tier. Monitor your current usage in the [Sarvam AI Dashboard](https://dashboard.sarvam.ai/).

## Supported models

Garth supports the following Sarvam AI models for code review and scan requests.

| Model             | Best for                                          | Context window   |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
| **`sarvam-105b`** | Complex reasoning, large diffs, security analysis | Long context     |
| **`sarvam-30b`**  | General-purpose multilingual reviews              | Long context     |
| **`sarvam-m`**    | Fast turnaround, lower cost, smaller PRs          | Standard context |

<Tip>
  Use `sarvam-105b` for large or security-sensitive pull requests. Use `sarvam-m` for high-volume, routine reviews where speed and cost matter more.
</Tip>

## Rate limits

Rate limits are set per subscription tier and measured in requests per minute (RPM) and tokens per minute (TPM). Contact [Sarvam AI support](https://dashboard.sarvam.ai/) for your current tier details and to request limit increases.

<Note>
  Rate limit details are managed through the Sarvam AI Dashboard. If Garth hits a rate limit, it retries automatically with exponential backoff. Sustained limits may delay when review comments are posted.
</Note>

**What you will see if rate limits are hit:**

* A delayed review comment once the retry succeeds
* A dashboard notification if retries are exhausted and the review is dropped

**How to resolve:**

* Upgrade your Sarvam AI subscription tier in the [Sarvam AI Dashboard](https://dashboard.sarvam.ai/)
* Switch to a faster model such as `sarvam-m` to reduce per-request token usage
* Contact [support](mailto:supports@darner.ai) if you need help choosing the right plan
