From Sumalab, the research and development unit of Sumalatam, we are excited to share the significant advances in artificial intelligence (AI) announced this week by industry leaders such as Google and OpenAI. These developments are not just updates; they are reshaping the future’s frameworks, especially in sectors like ours: translation and localization.

Google Update: Gemini AI

Google has updated its Gemini model, which is multimodal and capable of processing text, images, audio, and code. This update is designed to facilitate various applications from comprehension to content generation. Gemini stands out for its ability to process and understand not only text but also video and audio, making it exceptionally relevant for multimedia translation and localization.

OpenAI Launch: GPT-O and New API Modalities

OpenAI has launched GPT-O, marking a significant advancement over its previous models with improvements in text processing capacity within a broader context window, significantly enhancing its use in translation and localization due to its ability to handle detailed and extensive information. Additionally, the new API includes modalities that allow GPT-O to handle images and generate human-quality voice, extending the possibilities for use in multilingual and multimedia applications.

The Human Touch: More Essential Than Ever
