Difference

@abhinand what is the difference between generating tamil sentences with TAMIL LLAMA and translating sentences to Tamil after generation with other LLM

That isn't something I didn't think about.

  • Cultural Understanding: A Tamil LLM can inherently understand the context and cultural nuances specific to the language which the translator will almost certainly miss.
  • Language Nuances: Tamil has unique grammatical structures and idiomatic expressions that are often lost or inaccurately represented in translations.
  • Efficiency: Direct LLM responses are more straightforward and efficient. And there is no denying the fact that translation APIs are expensive.
  • Integrity: Translations sometimes alter the original meaning and tone whereas the Tamil LLM maintains the integrity of the response.

Note: You'll also need a translator to translate your prompts in Tamil to English, so if any of the above issues happen in translating the prompt it will lead to a bad response undoubtedly.
