SAN FRANCISCO, CA – June 6, 2024 – UnbabelThe AI-powered language operations (LangOps) platform that helps businesses deliver a multilingual customer experience at scale, today announced the launch of TowerLLM, the first large language model (LLM) designed, trained and optimized for translation. , resulting in the best performance. commercially available LLM translation. Unbabel clients using TowerLLM will significantly improve machine translation accuracy, reduce errors and costs, and benefit from more cost-effective pricing than popular LLMs.
TowerLLM provides superior translation quality to leading LLMs like GPT-4o and GPT-3.5, while consistently outperforming Google and DeepL, because it was built from the ground up to be multilingual. Built on a large public data set, then trained only on better quality translation data filtered and curated by Quality LLM from Unbabel, COMETKiwiTowerLLM demonstrates that LLMs are the next step in the evolution of AI translation.
“Despite the doubts of some members of the industry, TowerLLM clearly demonstrates that LLMs are the best solution for machine translation,” said João Graça, co-founder and CTO of Unbabel. “We’ve spent years developing LLM, so we’re not surprised to see TowerLLM outperform GPT-4o. “This is the second multilingual LLM we have launched after COMETKiwi, and we are just getting started.”
Over the course of the launch, TowerLLM will offer:
- Automatic translation in 18 language pairs
- Named Entity Recognition to locate names, metrics, and codes (i.e. currency, weights, locations, brands, etc.)
- Font correction to eliminate textual errors in grammar and spelling before translation.
- Automated post-editing to automatically improve machine translation based on AI quality estimation that highlights specific errors
Unbabel experiments show that TowerLLM outperforms GPT-4o, GPT-3.5, Google and DeepL in translation in language pairs and in complex domains such as medical, financial, technical and legal, while outperforming other LLMs in reasoning and understanding context, for more information. details and to try TowerLLM, please visit our dedicated home page.
