#184I've been doing a lot of experiments evaluating LLM translation performance, and I used what I learnt (that LLMs make mistakes, but different LLMs make different mistakes, and they're better at critiquing translations than producing them) to make a hybrid translator (https://nuenki.app/translator) that beats everything else.
And I was invited to do a talk about that to a company, which was really cool! I'm 19, doing this in my gap year before uni.

But seriously, I'm looking for "no-strings" sponsors, if any companies (or individuals) would like to help support me so that I can focus on open source full time. Feel free to email me: https://brynet.ca/

#188This has been my WE project for a long time. But it's only working really now.

#189I think it works great! The problem is, I think it works great. The issue is that it is doubly-lossy in that llms aren't perfect and translating from one language to another isn't perfect either. So the struggle here is in trusting the llm (because it's the only tool good enough for the job other than humans) while trying to look for solid ground so that users feel like they are moving forward and not astray.

#190It's basically a full-stack web platform written entirely from scratch. One of these days I'll write about it and get yelled at for reinventing the wheel.
But I'm using it internally and for my biotech clients and I'm still excited about it.
