Let's wait and see Aug 8, 2022

Let's wait and see, but I'm not surprised.

Nice, but ... Aug 9, 2022

It's nice that they made their source code available to the open domain, but for me the most useful aspect of MT is that when tons of technical documents are harvested and indexed, chances are good that I find the correct translation of a rare and very specific technical term.

A small corpus won't be of any use for me in my professional life.

Could somebody perhaps explain what Mark meant by "50 billion parameters" & "25 billion translations", because he didn't in the article? Or, perhaps he explained it somewhere else?

Also, are the "across our apps" paid or free? He didn't explain that either!
