Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate remarkable translation capabilities in high-resource language tasks, yet their performance in low-resource languages is hindered by insufficient multilingual data during pre-training. To address this, we conduct extensive multilingual continual pre-training on the LLaMA series models, enabling translation support across more than 100 languages. Through a comprehensive analysis of training strategies, such as vocabulary expansion and data augmentation, we develop LLaMAX. Remarkably, without sacrificing its generalization ability, LLaMAX achieves significantly higher translation performance compared to existing open-source LLMs (by more than 10 spBLEU points) and performs on-par with specialized translation model (M2M-100-12B) on the Flores-101 benchmark. Extensive experiments indicate that LLaMAX can serve as a robust multilingual foundation model. The code \footnote{\url{https://github.com/CONE-MT/LLaMAX/.}} and the models \footnote{\url{https://huggingface.co/LLaMAX/.}} are publicly available.

  1. Seed LiveInterpret 2.0: End-to-end Simultaneous Speech-to-speech Translation with Your Voice

    cs.CL 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An end-to-end simultaneous speech-to-speech translation model with voice cloning, trained with a two-stage reinforcement learning reward scheme, reports high accuracy and low latency on the authors' RealSI benchmark.

  2. $M^2PO$: Multi-Perspective Multi-Pair Preference Optimization for Machine Translation

    cs.CL 2025-10 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    M2PO combines a QE-plus-alignment reward with a dynamic curriculum and multi-pair DPO loss, and reports WMT21-22 gains for a 7B translation model, but the abstract's WMT23/24 9B parity claims are unsupported.

  3. Seed-X: Building Strong Multilingual Translation LLM with 7B Parameters

    cs.CL 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A 7B open-weight translation model matches or outperforms far larger commercial systems across 28 languages in automatic and human evaluations.

  4. HuggingGraph: Understanding the Supply Chain of LLM Ecosystem

    cs.CL 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A directed heterogeneous graph of 402,654 Hugging Face models and datasets is constructed and analyzed to reveal supply-chain dependencies and structural patterns such as a connected core and heavy-tailed reuse.

  5. Mutarjim: Advancing Bidirectional Arabic-English Translation with a Small Language Model

    cs.CL 2025-05 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    A compact 1.5B Arabic-English model beats GPT-4o mini only on the authors' own Tarjama-25 benchmark, while trailing large models on standard WMT24++ and IWSLT2017 tests.

  6. A Large Language Model-Empowered Agent for Reliable and Robust Structural Analysis

    cs.CL 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    An LLM agent that reframes beam analysis as OpenSeesPy code generation reaches over 99 percent reliability on a small benchmark, but chiefly because the prompt contains a near-identical solved example.

  7. Dynamic Chunking and Selection for Reading Comprehension of Ultra-Long Context in Large Language Models

    cs.CL 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Dynamic chunking plus question-aware chunk selection improves long-context QA, but the headline numbers are partly inflated by choosing hyperparameters on the test benchmarks.

  8. FuxiMT: Sparsifying Large Language Models for Chinese-Centric Multilingual Machine Translation

    cs.CL 2025-05 reject novelty 3.0 of 10

    FuxiMT combines a frozen BLOOMz model with sparse mixture-of-experts layers, Chinese-first pretraining, and curriculum learning to translate into Chinese from 65 languages, with claimed low-resource gains that the pap...
