SilkRoad: A Multilingual Communication Platform
summary
SilkRoad is a platform from Panag Laboratory that deploys a Chinese foundation LLM (PUNON mind) extended to supports 50+ languages and layered services for MT, ASR and TTS; it uses a UniFi language-specific self-distillation method and a dual reflect interactive refining translation loop to iteratively improve translations; experiments include a Serbian-centered MT system with Huawei and academic partners and a distributed training prototype spanning clusters ~1,000 km apart that achieves 96× communication compression.
