What does he know about this, exactly? I managed to translate a hundred English classics into Sanskrit using DeepSeek. The translation quality is quite good, close to Claude-level.
Gemini 2 Flash, which I am not yet satisfied with as far as Sanskrit is concerned, gave me a brilliant English translation of the Hanuman Chalisa. Even managed to give me an iambic pentameter version of it when prompted.
The data exists. The only question is whether training models from scratch is really necessary or not.
