Sarvam-30B โ€” 20% Pruned + Knowledge Distilled (26.4B Parameters)

Overview

This repository contains a deployment-ready 20% pruned and knowledge-distilled version of Sarvam-30B (Mixture-of-Experts) prepared for the Resilient AI Challenge 2026 (Text-to-Text Track).

The model was compressed using structured expert pruning followed by Knowledge Distillation (KD) to recover accuracy lost during pruning.

Throughput 7.72 tok/s 7.90 tok/s +2.3% faster
Latency 129.78 ms/tok 126.74 ms/tok -2.3% lower
Energy (41 samples) 83.25 Wh 81.30 Wh -2.4% less
Disk Size 61.44 GB 49.14 GB -20.0% smaller
Parameters 32.15B 26.4B -18.0% fewer

Evaluation Dataset: 41 Indic Language Samples (Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati)


Compression Method

Step 1 โ€” Structured Expert Pruning (20%)

  • Removed 20% of MoE expert layers (578 experts removed)
  • Pruning based on expert activation frequency
  • Result: 32.15B to 26.4B parameters

Step 2 โ€” Knowledge Distillation

  • Teacher: Original Sarvam-30B (32.15B)
  • Student: 20% pruned Sarvam (26.4B)
  • 8 epochs of Knowledge Distillation
  • 280M LoRA parameters (1.13% of model)
  • Training loss reduced by 53%
  • Accuracy recovered: +2.44% (from 82.93% pruned-only to 85.37%)
