Unbabel Unveils TowerLLM: The AI Model Revolutionizing Machine Translation
Breaking down language barriers
In a groundbreaking move, Unbabel has announced the launch of TowerLLM, a Large Language Model (LLM) designed specifically for machine translation. This innovative model has been trained and optimized on high-quality multilingual data, making it the best-performing translation LLM commercially available.
“Despite the doubts from some in the industry, TowerLLM clearly demonstrates that LLMs are the best solution for machine translation,” said João Graça, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Unbabel.
TowerLLM outperforms both LLMs and specialized machine translation providers across seven language pairs. When using RAG (on-the-fly adaptation), TowerLLM’s performance is even better. This means that Unbabel customers using TowerLLM will significantly improve machine translation accuracy, reducing errors and cost, and will benefit from a more cost-effective price than popular LLMs.
The Power of TowerLLM
TowerLLM offers a range of features that set it apart from other machine translation models. These include:
- Machine translation across 18 language pairs
- Named entity recognition to localize names, metrics, codes (i.e. currency, weights, locations, brands, etc.)
- Source correction to eliminate textual errors in grammar and spelling pre-translation
- Machine Post-Editing to automatically improve machine translation based on AI Quality Estimation that spotlights specific errors
Unbabel experiments show TowerLLM outperforms GPT-4o, GPT-3.5, Google, and DeepL in translation across language pairs
Unbabel is leading the way in translation LLMs, and in the coming months will release further language pairs and capabilities that perform tasks to streamline the translation workflow and improve quality. TowerLLM is only available to customers.
The Future of Machine Translation
The launch of TowerLLM marks a significant milestone in the development of machine translation technology. As the demand for high-quality translation services continues to grow, Unbabel is poised to lead the way with its innovative approach to Language Operations.
