Tencent Open-Sources Offline Translation Model That Beats Google Translate
Tencent released a fully open-source translation model that, according to claims, outperforms Google Translate — and at the same time runs locally прямо on a smartphone.
The model supports:
- 33 languages;
- fully offline translation;
- running directly on the device without the cloud.
The model size is only about 440MB.
AngelSlim is used for compression — Tencent’s internal toolkit for model compression. Thanks to this, they managed to significantly reduce the size and preserve performance.
The model weights and GGUF versions are available on Hugging Face:
The developers also published an Android demo for testing local translation прямо on the phone. The link is available on the model page on Hugging Face.
