This is how we like to demo! Leonardo Doin put DeepL Voice through its paces at our recent Company Kick Off. It’s spontaneous, off-the-cuff, slang mixed in with more conventional expressions. It’s spoken in Portuguese, and instantly understood in English. As you’ll see, even our Chief Product Officer Gonçalo Gaiolas and GTM Lead Hadi Inja (@hadiinja) were impressed – and they know better than most what DeepL Voice can do. If you like this, you absolutely must register for our DeepL Spring Launch Virtual Event on April 16. Leo and GG will be onstage again – and they’re revealing the breakthrough, real-time voice-to-voice translation that’s now possible with DeepL Voice. Don’t miss it!

A conventional narrative you might come across is that AI is too far along for a new, research-focused startup to outcompete and outexecute the incumbents of AI. This is exactly the sentiment I listened to often when OpenAI started ("how could the few of you possibly compete with Google?") and 1) it was very wrong, and then 2) it was very wrong again with a whole another round of startups who are now challenging OpenAI in turn, and imo it still continues to be wrong today. Scaling and locally improving what works will continue to create incredible advances, but with so much progress unlocked so quickly, with so much dust thrown up in the air in the process, and with still a large gap between frontier LLMs and the example proof of the magic of a mind running on 20 watts, the probability of research breakthroughs that yield closer to 10X improvements (instead of 10%) imo still feels very high - plenty high to continue to bet on and look for. The tricky part ofc is creating the conditions where such breakthroughs may be discovered. I think such an environment comes together rarely, but @bfspector & @amspector100 are brilliant, with (rare) full-stack understanding of LLMs top (math/algorithms) to bottom (megakernels/related), they have a great eye for talent and I think will be able to build something very special. Congrats on the launch and I look forward to what you come up with!

Every few months, I write an updated, idiosyncratic guide on which AIs to use right now. My new version has the most changes ever, since AI is no longer just about chatbots. To use AI you need to understand how to think about models, apps, and harnesses. open.substack.com/pub/oneusefult…

Slator (@slatornews) conducted an independent market assessment of AI translated captions for real-time voice translation. There's one very clear winner: DeepL Voice. Slator's report assessed the two most crucial characteristics of real-time translated captions — quality and stability — and they asked professional linguists to rate the captions from different providers in blind tests. The conclusion? DeepL Voice for Zoom Meetings and DeepL Voice for Teams outperform alternative real-time translations (from Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet) by a wide margin. -DeepL Voice translations had 66% fewer errors than Microsoft Teams and 64% fewer errors than Zoom -Among Slator’s linguists, 96% chose DeepL Voice as their preferred platform for translations -In Slator's evaluation framework, DeepL is the only company in the Leader quadrant The Slator report is out now, and you can download and read in full here: dee.pl/da332 #BestVoiceTranslation #DeepLVoice #SlatorReports #VoiceToVoice

Want to know what accurate, smooth, real-time voice translation really means — not just for businesses, but for the people working in them? Watch this story from Jodi Sweed of @Aramark. As more global businesses continue to adopt DeepL Voice, it’s a narrative we hear time and time again. Yes, DeepL Voice transforms productivity in global meetings — Aramark reports a massive 50% increase in time savings. However, the real magic comes with the improved quality of discussions between colleagues. Voice translation enables chemistry, flow, enthusiasm and contributions from anywhere in any language. It’s the difference between being in a meeting and REALLY being in a meeting. At DeepL's Spring Launch Virtual Event on April 16, we’ll reveal the next generation of voice translation with DeepL.

Lots to admire about these Anthropic ads besides the humor (which is great) * casting of the personified ChatGPT characters is spot on * the slight pause before response - sends a message * They had these high quality ads ready to launch - love it when marketing teams move fast!!!

Never been worse for people who want success by following rules. Never better for those that win by breaking them.
