There are a gazillion market maps for large language models and the app layers built on them. So at this point in the cycle, there’s a lot of value in the simple act of curation.
大型语言模型和基于它们构建的应用程序层有无数的市场地图。因此，在这个周期的这一点上，简单的策展行为有很大的价值。
We did just that this week. Starting with SeamlessExpressive from Meta back in the olden days of November 2023 all the way to OpenAI’s GPT-4o, released in May 2024, we listed 10 (foundational) large language models that we think matter to the language industry.
这周我们就是这样做的。从 2023 年 11 月 Meta 的 SeamlessExpressive 开始，一直到 2024 年 5 月发布的 OpenAI 的 GPT-4o，我们列出了 10 个我们认为对语言行业重要的（基础）大型语言模型。
The pace of new LLM releases is relentless. As a language AI agency or a translation and localization management platform you have to make a decision. Do you bet on a single model and risk lock-in?
新LLM版本的发布步伐是不懈的。作为语言人工智能机构或翻译和本地化管理平台，您必须做出决定。您是否押注于单一模型并承担风险锁定？
Do you strive to be model agnostic so you can plug in the latest and greatest models as they become available? Or do you build your own model, fully customized for the task at hand?
您是否努力做到与模型无关，以便可以在最新、最好的模型可用时插入它们？或者您是否构建自己的模型，针对手头的任务完全定制？
Unbabel chose the latter option. This week, the language AI agency announced the release of TowerLLM. Unbabel calls it the first LLM designed, trained, and optimized for translation and claims it outperforms all other rivals, including GPT-4o.
Unbabel 选择了后者。本周，语言 AI 机构宣布发布 TowerLLM。 Unbabel 称其为第一个为翻译而设计、训练和优化的LLM，并声称其性能优于所有其他竞争对手，包括 GPT-4o。
Localization platform Phrase chose option two. Asked if they are building Phrase as a model agnostic platform, CEO Georg Ell, explained on this week’s SlatorPod that [while] they “are doing most of their work on Open AI at the moment” he wanted to make sure that they “weren't creating a single vendor dependency.”
本地化平台Phrase选择了方案二。当被问及他们是否正在将 Phrase 打造为一个与模型无关的平台时，首席执行官 Georg Ell 在本周的 SlatorPod 上解释说，[虽然]他们“目前正在做开放人工智能方面的大部分工作”，但他希望确保他们“是”不要创建单一供应商依赖性。”
