Hi folks!
Tons of jobs! 16 new open roles this month, from OpenAI to NVIDIA.
More live translation deployments this month in police departments, construction sites, and phone calls.
Meanwhile, DeepL’s transition to AWS introduces US data jurisdiction into the equation. With the sudden government restrictions on Anthropic’s Fable and Mythos models, companies are questioning supply chain risks.
Conference season is here. EAMT started this week in Tilburg, and the calendar is packed through November.
The man who led Google Translate’s transition to neural and Transformers, Macduff Hughes, shared his thoughts in a fireside chat.
Enjoy—and share!
