  There is no ai in ai, it’s just a program. In case of firefox translations it was made specifically for machine translation and later adapted to use with firefox browser.

    well duh. But why is Mozilla investing in LLM research then?

      Firefox translate isn’t an llm afaik. Anyway, why wouldn’t they? LLMs aren’t inherently good or bad, they are useful, and pushing for offline local first ai is a good thing.

        is the LLM or its trainingdata opensource though, do we know what it does/is trained on?
