How HY-MT1.5 Achieves 1 GB Mobile Translation with a 1.8B Model
The article explains how Tencent's open‑source HY‑MT1.5 tackles the high‑cost, large‑parameter barrier of neural machine translation by offering a 1.8 B‑parameter model that runs on roughly 1 GB of RAM, processes 50 tokens in 0.18 s, supports 33 languages, and uses on‑policy distillation to retain top‑tier accuracy, while providing a step‑by‑step online demo and free compute credits for new users.
