It uses the same LibreTranslate API schema so there’s interoperability but it’s implemented with a different backend. Moreover, LibreTranslate is free only if the hosting service makes it free.
What’s the backend? I’m willing to pay for DeepL because it’s much better than what’s available for free. I’m not sure I see much value in paying for anything less.
Backend is currently AWS Machine Translation. Because it's so expensive to run custom AI models, we're waiting to see how many users are interested, and if it's high enough, going to switch over to running our own AI Models, that are more recent (like NLLB). But those will cost thousands in GPU server costs every month.
Ok, got it! Thank you
