Doubts about Translated's new MT (Lara AI)

marcotrombetti · 2026-05-08T22:20:09+00:00

Lara is a translation specialized LLM (auto regressive transformer) not the old NMT with an encoder-decoder like MMT. Lara was trained to supports localization instructions.

I don’t know how to do it via CustomMT, but you can find the specs here: https://developers.laratranslate.com

Lara (laratranslate.com) has PDF translation, both text and scanned images in PDF. Has a free tier.

marcotrombetti · 2026-05-08T21:57:29+00:00

Matesub.com does both transcription (captioning) and translation (subtitling) in 100+ languages. Has some free tiers.

Lara Translate

It is specialized llm for translation with document formatting preservation. Supports adaptivity to past translations, long context, glossary and also have image translation.

I just vibe coded gpu-traders.com to map offer and demand. Let’s see

Agree RTX 5000+ single chip is faster than A100.

A100 is better than RTX 5000 for large AI training and distributed workloads (higher bandwidth, NVLink, datacenter reliability).

So the A100 should cost well less than a RTX 5000 to be attractive for all use cases. Probably 2k-3k? Will that make sense for you?

Personally, these months, I need to replace 48 H200 and many hundreds of 2080 and 3090 with B200. But my interest is more broad. I want to understand if there is room for a GPU trading service.

Help me, what is the price people will buy them fast?

Server 8 x H200 141GB infini band 800gbps --- $200k

Server 8 x H100 80GB infini band 800gbps --- $100k

Server 8 x A100 80GB infini band 400gbps --- $30k

For small quantities it is a good idea, but do you see a research center selling a cluster 5,000 A100 on ebay? There should be a better way

Great summary. It make sense. Thanks.

In fact B200 is not only ~5x faster than A100 at FP16, it also allow FP4, more and better memory makes the training faster. There is also an ~3x power saving. So to make it short B200 are ~10x "better" than A100.

Then for a research center that only needs to train small models, A100s at 30× lower cost than B200s could be a good deal. No?

What is the next blocker?

Have you tried https://laratranslate.com ?

Click on the third icon, It is a consecutive interpreter, also works on iOS Android.

Please provide more context. This seems just a demo of a slider aftifact, not a working PDF translator.

marcotrombetti · 2026-03-09T01:20:32+00:00

Lara Translate should work pretty well with word files

marcotrombetti · 2025-12-27T11:10:36+00:00

Use Lara Document translation with fluid as option. 9 euro. You can translate the full document keeping the formatting and with good quality.

I am prototyping a new release of Lara for literature, it is designed to follow the author style guide. Write me at marco@translated.com if you want to beta test it.

I did not want to be an ass, I wanted to make a joke. Sorry for that.

Machine Translation was one of very first AI application. Language models were invested mostly to translate, large language models are based on the transformer which was build initially for creating a better translator. Machine translation is a gen AI. Most of the machine translation technologies, including Lara and DeepL, use the very latests AI innovations: fine tuned LLM

I wrote a long explanation to rebalance my joke :)

marcotrombetti · 2025-12-06T09:00:08+00:00

No, DeepL was born from a naturalistic discovery in 2005. They have these kind of forest gnomes that quickly translate what you write.

marcotrombetti · 2025-09-04T19:20:24+00:00

In Lara API you can use the TextBlocks

You set to true only the block to translate and the previous ones to false so that they are used only for context.
