"Seamless Communication" from Meta AI research is a big deal: really impressive speech-to-speech (and text-to-speech/speech-to-text/text-to-text) language translation models, released todayThe main model file is 9GB - I wrote some more notes here: https://simonwillison.net/2023/Dec/1/seamless-communication/Their interactive demo at https://ai.meta.com/research/seamless-communication/ is very neat - you record a video through your webcam and it plays it back to you translated into a language you select

@eliocamp How would you translate that? My English was "Okay, this is kind of exciting, what does this thing even do? Let's see how this works"

@simon instead of "¿Qué hace está cosa?" I'd say "¿Qué hace esto?".

@simon What makes me double-take is that it seems to be roughly in your voice.Just need to put it into the form of a small, yellow leech-like fish, and we’re good. 🤣

@simon lol can definitely confirm that it massacres any québecois idioms from French to English. Handles my accent well with common words though.Super neat!
