Hy-MT2: A Family of Fast, Efficient and Powerful Multilingual Translation Models in the Wild
arXiv:2605.22064v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hy-MT2 is a family of fast-thinking multilingual translation models designed for complex real-world scenarios. It includes three model sizes: 1.8B, 7B, and 30B-A3B (MoE), all of which support translation among 33 languages and effectively follow translation instructions in multiple languages. For on-device deployment, with AngelSlim 1.25-bit extreme quantization, the 1.8B model requires only 440 MB of storage and improves inference speed by 1.5x. Multi-dimensional evaluations show that Hy-MT2 delivers outstanding performance across general, real-
The continuous advancements in AI model efficiency and multilingual capabilities are accelerating, driven by the demand for more accessible and versatile AI. This release reflects the ongoing trend of optimizing powerful models for real-world deployment.
This development allows for broader and more efficient deployment of advanced multilingual translation, lowering barriers for global communication and integrating AI into diverse operational environments. The emphasis on quantization for on-device deployment is crucial for accessibility and scalability.
Multilingual translation models are becoming significantly faster and more resource-efficient, expanding their applicability beyond cloud-based systems to a wider array of on-device and edge computing scenarios. This reduces computational overhead and increases accessibility.
