We show that Claude 3 Opus, a large language model (LLM) released by Anthropic in March 2024, exhibits stronger machine translation competence than other LLMs. Though we find evidence of data contamination with Claude on FLORES-200, we curate new benchmarks that corroborate the effectiveness of Claude for low-resource machine translation into English. We find that Claude has remarkable \textit{resource efficiency} -- the degree to which the quality of the translation model depends on a language pair's resource level. Finally, we show that advancements in LLM translation can be compressed into traditional neural machine translation (NMT) models. Using Claude to generate synthetic data, we demonstrate that knowledge distillation advances the state-of-the-art in Yoruba-English translation, meeting or surpassing strong baselines like NLLB-54B and Google Translate.

Decoding Machine Translationese in English-Chinese News: LLMs vs. NMTs
Machine-translated English-to-Chinese news differs from original Chinese news in measurable ways, and LLM and NMT outputs can be partially but not fully distinguished by linguistic features.

Can Peter Pan Survive MT? A Stylometric Study of LLMs, NMTs, and HTs in Children's Literature Translation
LLM translations of Peter Pan sit stylistically closer to human translations than NMT outputs do on several child-literature features, but the prompting strategy and possible training-data overlap partly explain the c...
