Universal Language Translator

TL;DR: Meta build an AI capable to translation between 100 languages.

Meta’s AI team is on a tear with a new release almost every other week. The latest in their lineup is SeamlessM4T, designed for universal language translation.

Key feature: SeamlessM4T can perform tasks that traditionally needed multiple AI models. Its capable of speech-to-speech, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, text-to-text translations, speech recognition and language identification!

Additionally, the AI model is

• Multi-modal: Accepts input in multiple formats like audio and text

• Multi-lingual: Supports up to 100 languages

• Open Science: Open for use by researchers under CC BY-NC 4.0 license, along with SeamlessAlign's extensive dataset of 270,000 hours.

• Supporting tools: SONAR for sentence encoding and stopes for data processing, backed by the fairseq2 library.

Unlike past systems that segmented tasks and worked best in a single mode, SeamlessM4T consolidates these functions. This drastically improves the engineering aspect of integrating the models in end-user applications! Try the demo here.
