This reads really promising. They evaluated it rigorously and detected when the model hallucinated.

I'm curious which texts will appear from the untranslated tablets. They sometimes allow very precious insights into everyday life millennia ago. It makes it so much more real.

It’s a little disappointing that they didn’t include any examples of translation, isn’t it?
