  • Fast and secure translation on your local machine with a GUI

    Interestingly, I think this is actually related to the offline translation features built into Firefox. Both are products of "Project Bergamot", but the Mozilla-maintained version was later merged into the Firefox application:

    Extra webpage with screenshot and links, impossible to search for normally:

    https://translatelocally.com/downloads/

    Does one thing and does it well.

    Oh— For downloading models, it's much easier to pipe/`xargs` `translateLocally --available-models` into `translateLocally -d` than go through the GUI.

    - Traditional rule-based translation. Seems to work pretty well, but no good desktop frontend.

    - Works, but crashy desktop app.

    - API wrapping Argos Translate.

  • Mozilla Launches Responsible AI Challenge
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 15 Mar 2023
    Mozilla did release DeepSpeech[0] and Firefox Translation[1] (the latter of which they included in Firefox, to offer client-side webpage translations.)

    They definitely have fewer resources than OpenAI, and they do not produce SOTA research (their publications have plummeted to 1/year anyway[2]). So the only way for them to make progress is to seek government grants or make challenges like these.

    This challenge is unlikely to be profitable for the winning team: the expected value of winnings are likely around $1K when taking into account the probability that another team gets a better rank, but ML research projects are often more expensive (recently, Alpaca spent upwards of $600 on computation alone; and of course pretraining large models is much more expensive). So the main gain will be publicity.
