Meta’s new AI model holds the potential to underpin robust and efficient «universal translation» services in the future. Known as SeamlessM4T, this marks the first all-in-one multilingual, «multimodal» AI translation and transcription model, according to Meta. It offers support for up to 100 different languages, depending on the specific task.
SeamlessM4T serves as a foundational multilingual and multitask model capable of seamlessly translating and transcribing both speech and text. Given its multimodal nature, SeamlessM4T can process either speech or text input and produce translations in various formats including speech-to-speech, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and text-to-text.
