It has been reported that users are flocking to Upstage’s ‘translation expert’ artificial intelligence (AI) model. Accordingly, the corporate has begun expanding its related infrastructure.
Artificial intelligence (AI) specialist Upstage (CEO Seonghun Kim) announced on the tenth that it has signed a contract with FriendlyAI (CEO Byeonggon Jeon) to ‘expand and construct translation model infrastructure’ for the big language model (LLM) Solra.
Upstage launched the API of Solr LLM, a Korean-English translation specialist, in February. It features deep learning translation that goes beyond easy sentence translation to infer meaning by synthesizing the context before and after, and even understands the context and flow of the conversation.
It was reported that in Meta’s ‘Flores’ benchmark evaluation, which is taken into account a barometer for machine translation evaluation, the accuracy was shown to be high enough to surpass OpenAI’s GPT-4 and DeepL.
User responses are also good. Reviews include, “The outcomes are natural, corresponding to the automated recognition of unnecessary translations, corresponding to proper nouns,” and “It’s cheaper than other models, so it is beneficial for mass translations.”
Accordingly, it was recently announced that each day API usage traffic has exceeded 100,000.
Upstage introduced FriendlyAI’s ‘Friendly Dedicated Endpoint’ to efficiently process translation traffic. It explains that it automated service operation and significantly reduced GPU costs through the ‘auto-scaling’ function that dynamically adjusts GPU allocation based on traffic load.
“We’re delighted to collaborate with FriendlyAI, a frontrunner in generative AI infrastructure, to streamline the service costs of the Solr translation model,” said Kim Sung-hoon, CEO of Upstage. “We expect that more people will now have the opportunity to make use of the world’s best translation model more quickly and simply.”
Meanwhile, Upstage is reviewing expansion of Solar’s supported languages and translation languages.
